BSW installed solar on my house 5-6yrs ago. The system is now paid off!!! I had a solar cleaning company clean the panels last month, the owner told me it was one of the best solar systems he has seen in town. That confirmed my thought of BSW! They are reliable and honest, and I appreciate local companies that stand by their work! read more

after someone came out to give me a quote, I never got a call back or got the quote after 3 phone calls. Explanation was the person was too busy, we will get back to you, never did. Got someone else. I even had them put on my patio roof composition several years. read more

I did my homework 2 years ago in helping my mother find a roofer by getting 3 estimates. We chose BSW. They did a great job! So when I needed a new roof this year, I didn't bother with estimates, I just called BSW. The men had to remove existing solar panels and then re-install after completing the roof. Before the project began, Victor, the project manager, introduced me to the team that would be working on my roof. I really liked that! One of the owners even came out to check on the project! Victor and Edgar, the solar superintendent, discovered some pre-existing problems and took care of them. It seemed like they were treating my home as if it were their own, and me, like a friend. I highly recommend this company read more

BSW Roofing repaired our leaky tile roof. Project Manager Luis is amazing he made everything easy. Luis and the roofing crew were professional, friendly and answered all my questions. The work they performed looks great and was a great value. The job site was always left safe, clean and rain proof for overnight. I will definitely recommend BSW Roofing to my friends and family. read more

Ron has been extremely helpful to us while purchasing some materials and our shingles through him. We are doing all demo work ourselves for our roof but we bought stuff through Ron. We will definitely be recommending this company to everyone. read more

I ran into some issues with a solar system that was not installed by BSW. It was an Enphase based system and they are a "Gold Installer" as recommended by Enphase. I was at my wit's end's end and desperate for support and guidance. I reached out to BSW's in-house solar engineer, Curtis and he was absolutely amazing. Most companies wouldn't give you the time of day if it wasn't something they installed. This was not the case with Curtis and BSW. He was a HUGE help, spent a good chunk of time reviewing our system and then pointing me in the right direction. This level of customer service is a very good indication of how they conduct business. I would recommend them highly!!!! read more

I was interested in getting a new roof and solar and heard this was a reputable local business. They came to give me an estimate. I took time from work to meet them, after looking my house over never heard another word and failed to return my calls. Would not recommend. read more

We needed our roof looked at for some possible repairs, and BSW made the time to get out the same week I called! Highly recommend this company, especially Luis Cervantes, Project Manager, who took care of us!!! Very efficient and quick response! Thank you so much Luis Cervantes for your excellent customer service!!! read more

We purchased our home a year ago which had existing Enphase solar panels. We starting have problems with many of the panels not working properly. We found out the original installer was no longer in business. Enphase gave us a list of installers who we could contact for help. BSW had a good rating so we called them. I spoke to Curtis and he was able to check our panels output and told me our system was "scary" that many panels were not working and it would almost be easier to replace everything, but he gave me other options as well. He told me unless we were serious about moving forward he would not give us a quote because it was too much work. He also told me that the company wasn't really interested in working with "orphans" which I guess that's what we were considered since we no longer had our original installer. I later called him back and said we were serious and wanted quotes. He assured me I would receive a quote within a couple of weeks. That was at least two months ago and I have received nothing. I have called and he will not return my call. I now have to start this whole process with another company. I definitely would not recommend BSW for solar! read more

I have worked with Luis from BSW to repair and/or replace three different sections of my roof now as issues arose. He is easy to work with and sends detailed plans of the repair jobs that are to take place. If there is an issue, he is quick to respond and assist. My parents worked with BSW over 30 years ago on their home and now I choose to work with them on my home. I appreciate that they are local and quick to answer a phone call. read more

They came out to look at my roof for a repair. They said they would email me or call with an estimate on repair never heard another word.

After having a leaking patio repaired 4 yrs ago by handyman and leaking again this January, I decided to get roofing experts this time. After getting three companies check out my roof, a gentleman from BSW said he could fix it permanent. While he was measuring I asked him about doing the entire roof, noting that it was 30 yrs old and loosing some shingles, Travis took time to explain the reroofing process from stripping down bare wood to replacing facia board to putting shingles of my style and color choices. The other two roofing companies never took the amount of time to answer all my questions or give me options. BSW got the job mainly because of the customer attention, service and response. The whole job from beginning to cleaning up was great and the men were polite and efficient getting it done. The house is beautiful with the new shingles color now and I couldn't be happier. If you want customer satisfaction with many options and ideas, call Travis at BSW. His team is absolutely the best. George Dettra read more

They came to my house and was told that they would send me an estimate... well I'm still waiting... almost 3 weeks later... and I never received anything... so, I called and I w was told that the person wasn't in. So, I left a message... and I'm still waiting... I guess I'm not the right color after all this is bakersfield ca... not surprising... read more

October 15, 2020 Dennis Turkish, MA., MS., MFT 1161 Hickory Ave. Tehachapi CA. 93561 Jerry Ennis BSW Roofing & Solar Inc. Bakersfield CA. Dear Jerry- As a retired California Plumbing Contractor (411869), and plumber of over 22 years, I am afforded the knowledge and understanding of craftsmanship and what it takes to be in business for as many years as BSW Roofing & Solar in Kern County. As I watched each day of my roofing project, I witnessed the technicians take great care of my home and property, and was very impressed with their level of skill and expertise needed to start and complete my re-roofing project with total satisfaction. I cannot thank Jerry Ennis, Project Sale Manager, and Overseer for his professionalism in presenting me with all the needed information in selecting BSW Roofing & Solar for my project. I look forward to referring many others in my circle of friends and neighbors in Tehachapi to considering BSW Roofing and Solar for their next projects. Sincerely, Dennis Turkish, MA., MS., MFT. read more

I had a large steep roof in need of replacement. BSW sent out an army with equipment to strip the roof and lay down the OSB quickly. The installation team was very capable and did outstanding work. Great attention to detail. And everyone from the office to the roof was extremely customer service oriented. Also I needed a few things done that were clearly out of scope. The additional charges were better than reasonable. All my previous experiences with roofers were one star. BSW is a solid 5 stars. read more

Great experience with BSW. They were professional from the initial quote to the final inspection. I had a total of 6 quotes and the disparity in quotes was amazing. Ironically BSW, the one that was certified by GAF and license and bonded was the lowest. I also had people comment in the construction industry that they are one of the best. Whoever you select:here is a small check list of items - licensed and bonded - certified by the shingles company you are going to use...why? Because if the company goes away you are registered with the shingle company who trained the roofer who installed the shingles. Makes sense when you think about it...you need people to install correctly to uphold the warrantee - professional (i.e. responsive, shows past work, has a binder of samples etc. ) read more

I worked along side you guys on a job, cool guys, good work, but a couple of you guys were rude. Trying to tell me how to do my job and having an attitude. How about not being so disrespectful read more

I contacted BSW on 11/11/20, 13 days ago, requesting a visit to estimate possible repairs on a roof. I was told that the charge would be $450.00 for someone to come out to take a look. I did not balk at the price, as I just wanted someone with roofing experience to steer me in the right direction. I was told that someone would contact me "within two business days" to arrange for an appointment. It is now 13 days and I have received no call. If I could give 0 stars I would. I will never use this company, nor will I ever recommend them to anyone if this is how they treat prospective customers. read more

Bought a couple used tiles. Two ridge pieces and an end bullnose....they charged me $39 for a single used ridge end bullnose tile and $11 each for the ridge tile (even though I heard the yard guy tell the sales man they were $10 each in Spanish). Ended up not needing the bullnose tile so I went back the next day and asked if I could exchange it for a couple rake tiles I needed. They would not exchange it or give me a refund. To be fair they do have a little sign at the desk that says no refunds or exchanges but who reads every sign....especially since many of them in their office are sales promotions.....would have been nice if the sales guy would have mentioned it during the sale or if the receipt/contract would have stated this...Really guys how would it hurt to just exchange it?? I have done business with you before and sent clients to you in the past, now over $40 you have lost my business and I will never recommend you to anyone. read more

Wanted to get a "free estimate" on my roof repair which they advertise for on tv all the time. Also wanted to get an estimate on buying solar for the house. They did both come on time which is great. However, I had to demand a written estimate from them for the repairs before they left. And I mean "DEMAND". They had no intention of giving me any documentation at all. Then I look at the repair estimate and it basically says nothing. A few sentences but no specifics on what needed repairing. There were many issues with my roof and I wanted details. So I called and called and called. 6 times they promised to get me a detailed estimate and NEVER did. Add to that the fact that I never heard from them at all on solar costs after they left. I WOULD NEVER EVER HIRE THESE GUYS. I Hired bland and they did exactly as they said they would. read more

Terrible first impression. Save your time and don't call this place!!! They came out over a week ago and looked at my roof. I called and emailed them back multiple times, no one ever called or responded. I never got an estimate. All I got is inconvenienced. If they can't even pick up the phone and call back or communicate, I would hate to see how long it takes them to actually complete the work. I would never use this company or recommend them to my friends, family or co-workers. My roof still has a leak and this unprofessional company lead me on for the past 8 days. I guess they don't care or want any new business. Stay away from this place. read more

Thanks to Yelp, I'm no longer remaining silent with less than satisfactory service! The repairmen at BSW were excellent, the project manager may try to rob you, so beware!!! My mother's Bakersfield house had a leak in the flashing around a large skylight. BSW was referred to me by a neighbor. A Project Manager went up on the roof & gave me an excellent quote with a reasonable timeframe. I made it VERY clear that I was prepping the house for sale. He said the skylight needed replacement, but was a special order & could take a week, maybe 2 to arrive. While awaiting Home Depot to provide the skylight, I made arrangements to sell the house. 2 weeks turned into 3, so I called Rony who claimed he never committed to weeks. I then called the office & tracked down the buyer (another Ron) who ordered a 2nd skylight (different vendor) so they could install whichever unit arrived 1st. After 3 weeks, I began to stress, because I repaired the inside ceiling, replaced the carpet & a huge storm was expected the following week. Plus, the house sold after 1 day on the market with a 2-week escrow, contingent on the roof repair. Once again, I called Ron & voiced my concerns. He then claimed they could make the necessary repairs the following day WITHOUT the skylight, & replace it after it arrived. Never ONCE was this mentioned during the entire month I was waiting. After removal of the old skylight, I realized it didn't even need replacement!! After confronting them about the issue, they claimed they couldn't provide a warranty without a new skylight. I was selling the house & didn't care about a warranty!! Argh. After a bit of an argument, my bill was reduced by more than $350 to deduct for the skylight. The repair work was excellent, but after far too many phone calls, time spent & the stress involved, I simply can't leave the review I hoped to. Several weeks later, they're texting & emailing me to call them if I'm less than thrilled with the service. I finally had to tell them to stop all communication --where was it when I needed it?? read more

It was an amazing experience working with Francisco from BSW. He came out to inspect our home roof. He was quick and thorough with his work, and he was also professional and knowledgeable with his work. I highly recommend BSW for any roofing services. read more

We called for a Solar bid. They were professional and kind giving us options. We chose mid range units and they work great. It's been 7 months since solar system has been in process. Our electric bill is $4 monthly. We are very happy with the service BSW gave us. Thank you Victor, Jerry, and Michelle. read more

My husband and I were looking for a roofing company and met BSW at the Home & Garden Show in October. Not only did they show up on time, but some rescheduling was necessary and they stayed in contact with us so we were all on the same page. Clear communication with the client is definitely a plus! I also felt they did a thorough job inspecting our roof and sharing with us what they found. read more

I contacted BSW Roofing for a roof repair since they are the company who installed the roof when the home was built. After looking at the problem, the BSW employee told me they would build it better than it was first built. Did I mention BSW was the company that built the roof? I asked the employee if there was a cheaper alternative to repair the roof. He said there was not and it needed to be rebuilt. After receiving the very high quote, I was disappointed by the lack of a cheaper alternative and that the only fix would cost so much. I contacted BSW to express my concerns and seek an explanation. It seemed as though they were passing the blame to someone else. I did not get a sense that they were willing to satisfy the customer. Overall, I was very disappointed with BSW's unwillingness to offer a cheaper solution to a problem they contributed to and the high price of the only solution they had to offer. read more

We just signed a contract with BSW for Solar. I'm giving a 4 star rating because the project is not complete...yet. I have a feeling it will change to 5 star in a few weeks! They were well informed, pleasant, honest, and upfront. I feel at ease with them and would recommend them to anyone thinking about getting solar. That's way more than I can say for Solar City. Thank you BSW for treating your customers well. AND BSW is local to BOOT! read more

2 words ! HIRE THEM! Team BSW is the real deal! I'm a Fireplace contractor from Los Angeles working in Bakersfield. Throughout the years we have ran into many contractors and even for myself find it difficult to find a contractor we can trust and work with in our clients homes and perform to the expectations we guarantee to our customers . BSW is that team ! From the first phone call to meeting Luis on site for a walk through and now the team is nearly done with their scope assigned ! At this point I was anxious to write a well deserving 5 star review ! On time ! Quality work ! Super professional ! Looking forward to our next project together!

Replaced roofing on patio roof. It had been several years but I noticed that the wood underneath was damaged due to rain (what little we have in Bakersfield). It took a couple of months between communications and people being off work, but they finally came out and had to replace several of the boards and did a patch work job on the roof itself; which I appreciated. Upon inspecting the patch work, I mentioned to the manager that I anticipate it being a problem again because of the terrible patch work job. It has rained once and I noticed the same leakage in several areas which is ruining my patio wood. read more

Called on a Friday to see if I could get a quote to have my roof repaired. The lady in the Bakersfield office said the person who handles Tehachapi area would call me back within 2 business days...3 days later and no call back I started looking for another roofer. Maybe they do good work...maybe they don't. All I know is if they want business and a good reputation they should call you back for starters. I ended up using Zubia roofing. Professional and timely. I would recommend. read more

I needed about two dozen broken tiles replaced on a house i just bought. This would cost me about $400 for a reasonable roofing company. Instead they wanted to replace the felt lining under a small section of my roof at the cost of $15,000 (my roof didn't leak at all btw). This section only makes up about 1/10th of my total roof surface area. So applying some math that would be $150,000 to just re-felt the whole roof. How much would a total re-roofing job be... 300k? Get real people. Months later... Despite my lengthy rants to my wife about this company, she unwittingly ended up going to BSW roofing to order 50 new tiles, They sold her used dirty old tiles they had pulled off some roofing job at $5/tile. To make matters worse they were cracked and also the wrong type, even though she brought them an example tile to make a perfect match. I went with her to return them and the secretary tells me straight out "we don't accept returns on tiles". I watched the manager cringing at the very thought of accepting our return but he ultimately arrived at the right decision. After the yard hand who originally supplied my wife the tiles was done blaming her we finally got an order placed for 50 new tiles. read more

I met with a member of the BSW team back in July for an estimate for a new roof. It's been over two months now and I have heard nothing. Despite calling them twice and also sending them an e-mail requesting the estimate, no one ever responded. I ended up having another company complete the job. read more

First - they offered a discount if I would give them a good review here. So ANY good reviews are suspect. Too many issues not resolved. Broke too many tiles and they tell me that's the normal for working on roofs. Really? read more

The guys over at BSW are really amazing. We worked with Luis. He is down to earth and honest. They installed our roof in Spring 2017 after our home started leaking during Christmas. They found out the original builders cut corners and never put the felt underneath the tiles to prevent leaks. We had a huge problem but they did a wonderful job at working with us and helped us find the right solution for our home. I am so grateful for their support and making this huge purchase as smooth as possible. They even came back and fixed a spot that had the tiniest hole and had another leak. They are incredibly thorough and nice. I would highly recommend them. read more

Horrible experience! Had Victor come out to look at my solar panels that I own to get a quote to have them installed on my home. He said it wouldn't be a problem that he would return the following day with a quote. Over a week went by and and we left him several messages on his cell phone with no return call. I finally called the office to find out what was going on. I was told I would get a call back within an hour and a half. Victor finally called me back and acted like he knew nothing about my panels, as if he didn't come look at them. He said engineering said no and that he was going to give me a quote for a new system. I told him I was not interested in a new system so he just hung up on me. Horrible customer service! He knew I owned my solar panels and he knew from the beginning I was not interested in a new system. He completely wasted our time. And he needs a lesson in customer service. read more

STAY AWAY!!...DO NOT LET THEM NEAR YOUR HOUSE!!!! If only there was a negative star rating. For my parents' house in Bakersfield, I called BSW, with their receptionist promising a return call within 3 days, which did not happen. So, I called again and was told to email information, which I did. Again, no response by phone or by email. Yet again naively, I called and was finally transferred to Guillermo M. He became interested upon realizing that I was asking for individual quotes for roof repair and solar installation. He said that he does not give written estimates but was making an exception for us. (Very fishy since EVERY other company provided written estimates as the norm). Once I received the estimates, I asked him if there would be additional discounts if we hired them for both projects. He said that the estimates were separated for the individual projects and that the discount would be the 30% federal tax incentive, but no other discount if we chose both. He asked to meet with us. When he came to our house, he became very, very agitated upon learning that we had just chosen another solar company (Pav Solar) who gladly provided a solar installation WRITTEN estimate that was ~30% LESS than BSW's $32,799 estimate. To pressure us, Guillermo then claimed that BSW would not repair our roof for their "low" price of $4925 unless we also agreed to have them install the solar and that work by another solar company would void their roof repair warranty. Guillermo did not realize that multiple roofers provided estimates (again) 25-35% LESS than BSW's $4925 estimate for roof repair. The other roofers would still honor their warranty after solar installation by another company. Aside from the company's lack of professionalism, Guillermo also went through our PRIVATE documents when he was at our house, trying to determine what the competitors were bidding. We should have called the police. The red flags are all over the place for this company: 1) Failure to return calls/emails 2) Written estimates are exceptions 3) Lying/pressuring/manipulation 4) Invasion of privacy. Even if they provided the lowest bid, they cannot be trusted as they readily lie/manipulate when in the earliest stages. I would NEVER trust them to stand by their words/estimates or their warranty. If they ever come near our house, we are calling the police. UPDATE: Since I posted this review, it seems that BSW has been digging up customers from months, if not years, ago to try to counter the cumulative low stars, to get it back to 4 stars. Moreover, these customers seem to have been asked to specifically address issues with BSW that other customers and I share in common. If BSW is truly good, they would not need to resort to this tactic. Glowing reviews come readily and freely for other companies. read more

BSW recently installed our new roof and solar panels. Victor with the Roof and Edgar with the Solar were very professional and quick to answer any questions and addressed any concerns very quick. I appreciate the fact that they worked around my work schedule. The roofers did an awesome job on my roof and the clean up was immaculate for example completely covering my whole pool. The solar guys and the electricians who installed the solar panels and swapped out my electrical panel did such a good job and the work they did was perfect and I'm a very picky person. Also my neighbor had his solar put on at the same time and it worked out great. Great communication! Thanks guys! read more

We have a Laundry Room that is so dark that even when the light was turned on I still couldn't see to spot check the clothes. I wanted a "Solar Tube" or "Sun Tunnel" but was having a hard time finding a company who would put it in. We have a tile roof, which can prove difficult with the wrong company. I am very please to say BSW Roofing was the RIGHT COMPANY. They came out, gave us an estimate, scheduled the install and 3 hours later I have a wonderfully bright Laundry Room. It is bright my husband said he keeps trying to turn off the light. :-) We are very pleased with the work done and customer service provided by BSW Roofing and I would highly recommend them. read more

BSW did a great job for me in Wasco replacing our shake roof and adding solar. Every employee I met was diligent, friendly, and helpful. They care about their work and it shows. I would easily hire them again and I highly recommend giving them a look. read more

I recently had a small roofing repair job that BSW helped me with. It was a pleasure to work with Luis, who not only helped me with my original problem of needing to reinstall a bullnose tile that had fallen off, he helped me with a systemic problem. We have many doves building large nests under most of our bullnose tiles. Over time, these nests would grow to the point where they would push the nails from the tiles until the tiles fall off. His ingenious idea of filling the inside of the bullnose tiles with polyurethane foam completely eliminated the problem and prevented it from ever happening again. The price was reasonable and the workmanship was excellent. I am very content with the results. Furthermore, the worker bees who actually did the work under the blazingly hot Bakersfield sun were very polite and pleasant to work with. read more
