Installed new Decra Steel shake roof over existing wood shake roof.

The roof was installed a week after this best estimate was accepted. The crew removed the old tile roof and gutters the first day. The Decra tile steel roof system was installed and completed in the next three days. It is beautiful.

I needed a new roof, and was planning to get a solar system installed after the roof was fixed. I wanted Costco's solar provider, but was not sure who would do the roof. I got estimates from many Angie's List companies, all had A's in Angie's List. A couple fell out right away, but most were fairly comparable in price, terms, etc. Western Sierra owner Tony Farber was punctual and professional at initial meeting to assess the job. He was offering a substantially different product than the others, a steel shingle roof, which is somewhat more costly up front, but is much lighter and longer-lasting than conventional composition shingle, and is far less expensive roof over a much longer period of time in terms of total cost of ownership, which is the best way to estimate and assess an investment option. By simply, calmly, and quietly describing his products and processes, and answering all my questions clearly and in a manner I could understand, Tony persuaded me that his product was the best quality and the best value. Gutters were fairly comparable, but Western Sierra makes their own seamless gutters at a competitive price as part of a comprehensive package. He also offered to provide a solar system comparable to the one I was planning on, but which had micro-inverters for each panel, and online monitoring / performance reporting. The steel shingle roof allowed for an attachment system for the solar panels which required no holes or penetration of the roof. The Costco provider offered a system with a similar purchase cost, but which also involved an option for leasing the system. This resulted in very low up-front costs for the homeowner, but also less ongoing savings for the homeowner, who has to pay for the lease of the system every month. Also, with this program, the tax incentives go to the provider, who owns the system, not to the lessee. Furthermore, because Costco's solar provider did not have the specialized attachment system Western Sierra uses, they would not install their system on a steel shingle roof. I decided to go with Western Sierra for the entire job: roof, gutters, and solar.. Tony Farber and the Western Sierra team were ready to go almost immediately, and were on site and on time every day until the job was done. They were polite and professional and they all worked tirelessly, efficiently and as quietly as possible, completing the job on schedule, and leaving the site looking clean and tidy every day. Tony managed the permitting process for both the roofing and for the solar system. It was entirely painless and effortless for me. The solar system, which is practically maintenance free, is producing power as advertised. I can track production online, right down to the individual panel. PG&E has installed the special meter to enable it to track power PG&E receives from my system. With tax credits and dramatic reductions in our electric bill, the system will pay for itself in a few years, after which it will save us thousands of dollars annually, indefinitely. To sum up, the roof and solar system I got cost me more up front, but the quality and ownership (solar) will save me a lot of money in the long run. I highly recommend Western Sierra for roofs, gutters/spouts, and residential, homeowner-owned solar.

Everything went well, and we highly recommend them. They used a quality product, the work is backed by a lengthy warranty, and the roof looks great. We've received many compliments on the new roof as well. In addition, the company recommended that we purchase and install a device which cools our house during warm weather. The company made this recommendation since we opted to have the tile placed on our existing roof.

When it came to choosing a solar company not only was price a factor but we also wanted a company that knows roofing. We got three bids and Western Sierra Solar was the lowest. The whole installation went as planned. All 30 panels were installed during the first day and the second day they were hooked up to the PG&E grid. These 30 panels wiped out a significant monthly PG&E bill. Haven't paid a PG&E bill since. Tony and his crew were very professional and I can tell they take pride in their work.

Western Sierra Roofing Inc. took care of my roof problem. They repaired the roof within the time I requested it a few months ago. They did an excellent job. I spent approximately $500. It was very reasonable. He was very attentive and he got the job done. He was prompt, he did what he said he was going to do and took care of it.

Western Sierra did a fantastic job replacing my roof with Decra shake. I'm very happy with the outcome, Tony the owner was professional and is very experienced in these types of steel roofs, the installation is complex but they did a real nice job. The roof now looks real great and has added a lot of curb appeal to my home. I'm most impressed with their workmanship and attention to detail, and of course my home will not longer be subject to leaks.

I received pricing from several companies that I found on Angie's List. I ended up going with the steel roof for my home and a composition roof at my mother's home. They were very responsive to finding the correct color and material roof, they showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently until the project was finished and they cleaned up well afterward. They offered a reasonable price and were pleasant to do business with. The high level of professionalism was the same during both projects.

We had a great experience with Western Sierra. We got a quote from Tony, and he was very professional and explained everything to me. The gutters were done right away, and it was a quick process. The gutter crew was very friendly, on time, left everything clean,and did a GREAT job on the gutters. Tony also came back to do some repairs on our roof and chimney. I would very much recommend Western Sierra to anyone looking to get gutter or roof work done.

Overall, the experience was pleasant. Their product and their work are probably very good; my neighbors’ had their roof done by this company. I had a lot of questions, and the gentleman who came out could’ve answered a few more questions. I’m still doing research for this project, but I’ll definitely keep them in mind if I decide to go with a steal roof.

They did a great job. We had no problems with them. For the composite tile roof that is going to be long lasting, they were relatively inexpensive. The workers were fine. Our neighbors came by and asked us about them and we have recommended them. We would use them in the future.

The estimator was courteous, knowledgeable and respectful. He called to let us know he would be late for the scheduled appointment. He was very helpful in determining ideal placement of the light tubes for maximum light benefit. The estimate was fair. Too close to rainy season to perform the work. Will call them again in the Spring for a revised estimate.

They were excellent. The final price matched the quote. They were referred to me by the roofing material supplier and it was a good referral; they were very professional.

They were respectful and courteous. They used DECRA tiles for the job. They did the job very cleanly and very methodically. They were also very quick. They were up against a deadline and did the job really well.
