Century Roof and Solar, Hayward CA

Tony and his team did an exceptional job repairing my roof's dry rot, installing a new roof and gutters, and installing a solar system. The team was very responsive to my specific concerns and needs, always on time, and cleaned up at the end of each day. The quality of all of their work is top notch. Century provided excellent value for the price.

Century Roof and Solar provided excellent services for our home roof. They installed our new roof at a very timely manner and at a very best price. Their responses are great. Tony, Elena, the office staffs, and whole crew are the best people. Century Roof and Solar team are very helpful, friendly, and dedicated to our needs. We recommended their services to our neighbors and they hired Century Roof and Solar as well. We definitely recommend Century Roof and Solar to everyone who needs a new roof or any repairs for their roofs. Tony and Elena are the best and a very responsible team to count on!

We were considering roof solar panel for our house. Tony did the analysis and determined it does not meet our needs. He recommended a back-up generator and sound proofing box. He is very knowledgeable and provided good guidance. He shared his sources for equipments and his pricing was competitive.

They did the permitting and Installation. Job site was clean, showed up as promised and complete the job as planned.

We highly recommend Century Roof and Solar. Tony will provide the best service in our area.

When I shop my solar project, I was suggested to put the solar panels on ground racks instead of roof, or change the roof area under the solar panels from tile to shingles because my roof is light weight tile (some people call it Spanish roof). I contact Tony, who did my roof 20 years ago and found that Century do solar project too, and they can install the Sunpower panels on my roof. Installation and roof repair completed professionally within my expected timeframe. Unluckly, we had unexpected issues with the inspection. It is my old house problem, nothing due to the solar system, but Tony is so nice to solve the issue for me and get my permit. THANK YOU TONY.

Update 7/9/22. We just had Century Roof and Solar install two Generac generators (at two separate houses) and the installation went off without a hitch. They clearly explained the process, were on time, the staff is very courteous, and the workmanship is excellent. Like the roof and solar installations they did for us, I would not hesitate to use them.

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.

I've been working in residential construction for almost 30 years. It is my experience that there is a wide range of quality and skill in construction companies. Century Rood and Solar is in the top tier. Professional, transparent, detail oriented, on time, on budget, and willing to make the extra effort to keep the job site clean and safe for my family during the course of the work. There is a reason they've been in business for as long as they have and that they have so many loyal, repeat customers: Tony and his crew deliver the best work at a fair price. You can rely on them to take good care of your roof - your house will thank you for it!

It took 3 calls with the office with promises of a call back to schedule a roof inspection. When I finally secured one, they were a no call/ no show for the appointment. I had to call them for an explanation! HORRIBLE

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.

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.

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.

We have been absolutely delighted with Century Roof and Solar. They are Diamond Certified and did a great job with our new roof several years ago (my daughter and son-in-law also used them.) We got 3 quotes for a solar panel system (Sunpower) with backup Sunpower battery. Century was actually the lowest bid. We called around for references and word has it that Tony Diaz is one of the best, most knowledgeable electrical contractors in Northern California. He apparently trains others in the how-to-dos of solar system installation. The results are even.better than we hoped for.we have a number of gables on our roof but the conduit lines are clean, well hidden. Tony actually ran one under our house. Installation is complicated with numerous inspections and approvals required. Tony kept the process moving along well and did the requisite forms and diagrams for PGE for us. We have dealt with many contractors over the years and would give our highest recommendation for Century Roof and Solar to anyone considering installation.

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.

Century Solar installed solar panels on my composite roof and I couldn't be happier. Tony Diaz and his team's knowledge, attention to detail and craftsmanship in installing my solar system was simply phenomenal. I didn't realize how complex an installation could be. Tony answered all my questions, incredibly responsive and continually kept me abreast of my installation.

I would recommend Century Roof and Solar to anyone. They are simply the best!

Tony and his team were great partners in getting our new roof and solar system built - always professional and helpful, and the workmanship (and cleanup) were top notch.

The owner of Century goes out of his way to share the details of all your options. We chose to install 2 temperature control 120v Roof fans that remove the all-night high heat in the house. He also made light repairs to a couple of locations on the roof that he could not walk away from in the area he was working. The work team was professional and completed the same date as quoted.

I adore my roof, solar, and gutters. It makes me confident that my house is safe and protected from the top down.

I got 3-4 quotes and Century was a little under the top quote, but that makes sense when you consider I got Ultra HD shingles, steel gutters custom made on premise, new siding, fireplace caps, skylights, and an entire solar system plus paid extra for a longer warranty. Well worth it given how impeccably the work turned out and the attention to detail his crew gave to each element of the job. They were additionally flexible to work with other contractors to enable them to put in insulation and lights while still getting the job done.

The most challenging part of the job was timing to get started. Because of Tony's reputation (I learned about him from a friend who also have a beautiful new roof), he books up months ahead so his quoted start date was the farthest out and then we got impacted by weather and manufacturer shortage of panels.

However Tony was also flexible around our schedule for starting the job and once we were a go the job moved quickly and our massive roof was done in 2 weeks plus inspections. He checked in every couple of days with updates as things changed (and they do change as you should expect all house projects to I've learned) but always had solutions. The only thing his team couldn't do was finish the ceiling/wall edge under my skylights that was exposed as the skylight was a different size than originally planned from the manufacturer. Every time I had a question Tony had great advice - he was right a lot.

The team was super nice, respectful, responsive, and flexible. They take real pride in their work. The gutters especially - we still rave about them all the time, months later.

To top if off I'm getting money back from PG&E each month which is exactly what Tony calculated - I wanted a bit more than I was using before so I feel well prepared as my electrical needs grow in the future.

Century is the first company I call now for any roof, solar, or related work - and the first I recommend.

Outstanding service
professionalism: 5
quality: 5
value: 5

"All I can say is outstanding. The quality of the work, the attention to detail, and the pride of workmanship by Tony (owner) and team was well worth the agreed to price. Should you need solar or roof repair, don't look any further. You can have confidence when you call Tony at Century Roof & Solar! "

Outstanding customer service and quality work!
We were very pleased with a roof repair they did in 2004. So in the Fall of 2019 we got two bids for a new roof and Century’s bid was clear, detailed and came in under the other one. We also had them replace our roof insulation. Their crew was professional and respectful of our property. At the end of the day, the crew always cleaned up.
We highly recommend Century!
