"Curtis, the second generation of this company was very professional and thorough in our estimating searches. The main reason we went with them one it’s family owned too. It’s local and three gave us the best price out of the five quotes that we got. The whole project from start to finish was done very well by the company and his workers. Every day when they were done with work, they made sure to run a magnet through the driveway so we wouldn’t get a flat tire on our cars. The team worked very hard and was able to wrap up our whole roof project within a week even during crummy weather. If you are in need of a roof replacement, put DHT roofing at the top of your list we would hire them over and over again for how well they made this project and smooth they made this project go."

"It went exactly as promised. Aaron came out for a quote when he said he would. After comparing his quot to others, it was the second to lowest. When we settled on a date, his crew showed up right when he said they would, and they finished a day earlier than expected. They did a great job cleaning up the site, and the roof looks great. There was damage to the roof decking, and Aaron's crew told us exactly how much material would be needed and what the costs would be before starting. Their estimates were spot-on, and the price came in within the range of Aaron's original quote. They subcontract the gutters. The company that came out is also local. They were similarly punctual, arriving the day they said they would, and completing the gutter installation in even less time than quoted. I have another roofing job that needs to be done in the next year or so, and I won't hesitate to call Aaron back."

"CJ came and spent some time with me during the initial estimate. Very pleasant salesman that's easy to relate to and very detailed on how the whole project would be done. The crew that came out to replace my roof were quick, polite and cleaned up well after each work day. (2 days for the roof) Three Tree Roofing provided a huge dumpster for them to throw the debris in which was parked in my driveway, and a honey bucket for their use. There was one issue I had with the skylights and installation, but it's not enough to sway my opinion of this company. The company that Three Tree hired to replace my gutters were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly as well. I've hired many contractors over the years and have never been so pleased. I HIGHLY recommend them. Last thing I should mention......... I received a nice little gift in the mail after the project was completed. Nice touch!!"

"Agron and his team were very professional, and managed to work us into their busy schedule within a week of providing us with an estimate. They repaired some rotted beams that several other roofing companies would not touch, and saved us money in the long run by replacing our roof at the same time. Agron kept us informed at each step of the way, and answered all our questions. It is obvious that he takes pride in doing the job correctly (not just quickly). He has years of experience in the Northwest, and is well-informed about how the weather here can affect a roof. We are very happy with our new roof!"

"I contacted a few solar installers to get estimates. Chose SolTerra for a few reasons. Mainly, I liked their idea to use Tigo Energy modules to deal with some minor shading issues. Most other installers didn't seem very familiar with them. Also, they do a bit more than residential solar, so seem likely to be around in the long term. They're involved in WA-state level solar advocacy, and their CEO has a neat vision about reconnecting cities to nature, e.g. via green roofs (search for "solterra ceo ted talk"). 
(About the Tigo optimizers: those are DC power optimizers, which are simple devices that are on the roof by each panel, and can optimize each panel's output so that a little shade doesn't kill the entire string. They should be reliable and last as long as the panels. Then the panels can connect to a Washington made string inverter to get the full benefits of WA state incentives.)
Was pretty excited to get solar panels, so went with SolTerra after evaluating a few installers, who were all pretty close on price. However it turns out I could've saved several thousand dollars if I had waited for one more bid (from a top rated Angie's list electrical contractor, no less). So definitely do your homework on pricing & don't rush into an agreement before you get all of the bids.
Regarding the job:
It took a few weeks between initial contract and starting the install. Things started off very well. The roofing crew was there for a few days and they were awesome. Super nice folks & I got to go up and see the work-in-progress.
The main electrical install for the solar was done the following week. It seemed like a pretty clean install. They found a nice way to route the DC cables along the outside of the house, in a way that is short and mostly out of view. Also a good spot for the inverter (outside, shaded location to keep it cool, easy to service). They were able to route the solar power to the electrical panel without needing to punch any holes inside the house.
I didn't really have any problems at this point, except the next day I noticed the Tigo online system was misconfigured (not showing one panel, some positioned incorrectly). I figured since SolTerra set things up, perhaps they could fix it, but I wasn't able to get any help after brining this up several times with different people. They made it sound like they'd raise the issue and get back to me, but never did, and also like Tigo support wasn't getting back to them. After waiting a few weeks I contacted Tigo Energy (the module manufacturer) directly and they were able to fix the problem immediately. Everything's good now, but it felt like SolTerra didn't have a system in place for following up with problems.
There was also some confusion on the paperwork. I got a lot of things to sign after the install that were supposed to come before the install. Not a big deal, but it felt a bit disorganized.
There were a few issues on the EV charger install. There wasn't a lot of communication about scheduling it, and it seemed to drag on for a while, which meant more days working from home for me and rescheduled meetings. At first it wasn't totally done and the city inspector had to ask for it to be fixed. Seemed like maybe they don't do EV charger work much.
Another odd thing: they said that the down payment was to pay for the solar panels. But that did not seem to be the case, as I got a notice from the electrical supplier that things had not been paid for, and they had a right to take a lien against my house. This was like a month later. I made sure that the supplier had been paid before I paid off SolTerra.
The good news is the work is overall seems to be very high quality. So I think this might just be growing pains, as they seemed really busy and with a bunch of new staff (many who were excellent and very helpful). In some sense results are what count, and everything's done now and working well. I think they're a good company overall & will get better over time.
The system numbers:
6.44kW, 23x280W Itek panels, made-in-WA 
Solectria 6600 inverter, made-in-WA
Tigo: 23 optimizers, 1 gateway, 1 cloud connect

"Super job! The roof looks great and the deck hasn't looked this good since it was installed. The cleaner went out of his way to thoroughly clean up all around the house including washing the sides of the house. Very professional from bid to job complete."

"Golden Quality Builds did an incredible job with my home remodel. The house wasn't updated since the 80's and definitely was in need of an update. After getting a quote from the owner, Rafael Torres, we adjusted some pricing to make sure it fits within my budget and I gave him a time-line of when we can start the job. They completely updated the interior in four weeks. The communication was great, work was thorough, and still kept in touch after tge remodel was complete to ensure everything was up to my expectations. I will definitely use this company again for my next home remodel."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Dupont, WA

A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.

To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.

Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.

Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.

Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.

To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point. 

Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
