Century Roof and Solar

Century Roof and Solar installed solar panels on my roof that Century had installed some years ago(that installation went perfectly). They also performed some roof repairs, cleaned the gutters, installed gutter screens and metal caps on exposed beams. No problems whatsoever with any of the work. The communication from this company is outstanding as is the quality of their work. I recommend them for any roofing task and for solar installations without reservation.

Solar System Installation & Electrical Upgrade (Oct-Nov 2021)

I cannot say enough about Tony Diaz and his Century Roof & Solar company and project team - Dan, Luciano, Emilio, and Elena. My wife and I had a wonderful experience with our solar project.

Century installed our SunPower 4.62Kwh with a Sunpower Sunvault battery backup system, did a complete home electrical upgrade, and added new or replaced old light fixtures for LED conversion. The project was major, but from start to finish, everything ran smoothly like clockwork. As with any older homes, we had a few unexpected issues, but Century quickly assessed and resolved them.

Our house needed a complete electrical upgrade to meet safety requirements and maximize solar energy use. Century is an electrical contractor and has certified "in-house electricians", so from our standpoint, they are conveniently a one-stop shopping business. This was a relief because other electricians we contacted were either non-responsive or knew nothing about preparing home electrical for solar. In contrast Century is well versed on both Solar and general Home Electrical.

Our whole project was done in a highly professional manner. The expertise and recommendations that Tony and Dan (electricians) offered were invaluable. We were always updated on the progress and all questions were answered with informative explanations.

We highly recommend Century Roof & Solar to anyone.

We used Century Roof and solar for 3 roof replacements and 2 solar installations. They did a great job. Tony communicates exactly what is going to happen, they are on time, they clean up very well after each day. would use them again in a heartbeat.

Tony, Elena, and their crew are just great. Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly.

We had a small fire which took out a 100 amp branch circuit feeding our back yard. Because there were some sensitive things on that circuit, we needed it back up and running ASAP. Century had done our roof and solar array several years ago. Because they had done such a great job then, they were the first I thought of to help us out this time.

On Monday, Elena responded first and quickly got Tony involved. They inspected on Tuesday. As it was a large job to repull the entire circuit, they needed to order materials and schedule the crew. They arrived on Friday and did all of the demo and setup. Slight hiccup on one item, but they handled that and powered through. Finished up early on Monday and we were back in business.

Century will be first on my list for any future electrical, roofing, or solar work.

I was recently considering a new roof and solar array installation at my home in San Ramon and called Century Roof and Solar for a bid. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, this project had to be shelved for a couple years. However, since Tony Diaz, the owner of Century Roof and Solar in Hayward, CA, is also a fully licensed electrician he offered to do a needed upgrade to my main electrical panel in advance of the new solar system. He did a perfect job of installing a beautiful, modern, new “solar ready” main panel from which he also ran a new arc-fault protected 50amp outlet for EV charging. He accomplished this at price parity with another local electrician’s bid, but went beyond the other offer by including a whole-house surge protector in this new panel and handling the stucco patch around the panel “in house.” My other bidder on the job specified that “stucco patch to be done by others.” Since I don’t have ready access to such a technician this was a big plus in terms of choosing Tony for the project.

Tony managed to get my job done in one day, despite the rainy weather that greeted our agreed-upon installation day. Thus I was not be left without power over night in mid-March. To accomplish this there had to be some very adroit interactions with both the PG&E representative and the city inspector. In this respect Tony’s experience, knowledge and communication talents really did shine.

Communication with Tony, before and after the job was done, was clear, prompt and easy. He entertained all my questions and concerns without hesitation, condescension, or sense that I was over-burdening him. It is also noteworthy how respectfully and smoothly the Century Roofing team works together. As a home-owner who likes to hover a bit and learn what he can when projects are ongoing, I can say they were a pleasure to be around. Also Tony’s plain-spoken and infectious enthusiasm for the project at hand has left me solidly feeling that I received the highest possible value for the money spent. I now have total confidence that when we finally engage in the roof and solar project it too will be a high-value job, superbly done.
