Get matched with top heating cable for roof installers in Mckenna, WA

"Curtis and his team were very professional and did a great job on our roof and gutters. The roof was done in a timely fashion and our gutters were installed quicker than promised. We are very happy with the work done and the customer service provided and would highly recommend this company to others."

"Absolutely an awesome team to work with. Eugene was the point of contact from start to finish. Complete work was done in four days for roofing and gutters. The team cleaned the site daily and made sure everything was protected prior to work start and delivery. Eugene also came out a week after the work was done (and after a day of heavy rain) to check and see if I was still satisfied with the work. Their five star rating is true to our experience. Highly recommend this team for your roofing needs!"

"Patriot roofing is an outstanding company. They weren’t the cheapest but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. From our salesman Levi, the crew(Alan and his crew) to the final inspection with Eb...they were all professional, courteous and hard working. The roof turned out even better than expected and our property was treated with respect and left as if no one had been there. Thanks again and we will recommend you to anyone we know that needs a roof."

"A Better Roofing Company was great to work with. They were very organized. They completed the work in about a day and a half. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new roof."

"We were very pleased with the tear-off and new roof done by Forever Roofing on our house in North Seattle in mid-June of 2020. The estimator Sam contacted us the next day after I left a message and came by within several days and gave us what I felt was a reasonable estimate that included several other requests including removal of a no-longer used chimney and replacing about 20 feet of facial board that was too high for me to replace safely. The crew was great. They were able to utilize the one corner of the house that didn't have plantings for their work area. They completed the job in two days and the gutters were installed on the third day. They were very careful in their clean-up. I would not hesitate to recommend Forever Roofing for their response time and the quality of the workmanship."

"Marlon was very communicative during the whole roof installation process. The crew worked fast and made sure to leave everything clean and tidy when they were finished. The roof looks wonderful and we would hire them again! Thank you, MCS Roofing!"

"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!"

"After contacting NW Natural Lighting, Dawn came to our house (on a weekend, which was nice) to do a consultation, explaining how solartubes work, helping us understand where and how they could have the most impact, and providing recommendations for where to install them and how many to install. Ours is a bit of an unusual case because we were installing the solartubes in bedrooms, but they explained that we could put dimmers in to close them at night. The installation had to be booked a month or two out because they're booked pretty far out, but the installers showed up on time and did a great job on the installation. I think our building is a little tricky to work with because the roof is pretty steep and the ceiling is lathe and plaster, but they got the solartubes in with only one extra hole in the ceiling (we pretty much end up with an extra hole in the wall or ceiling anytime anyone does work on our place). The additional light is great, and the fixtures blend in pretty well with the ceilings."

"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.
