I got quoted from 1800-2800 for a roofing job. August came in and quoted over 8200 for the same job. I would not trust this company.

***CUSTOMER BEWARE*** I purchased a SunPower Solar system with a back-up battery through August Roofing in 2023. August Roofing sold me this 70k solar system promising that it was an extremely reliable as well as robust system that would provide emergency power during prolonged power outages. During the recent wildfire emergency in Los Angeles, the power went out for the first time at my residence since installing the system and it completely failed. The back up emergency battery did not operate as advertised and is now currently completely defective, after only one year. The battery complete drained only after six hours of the outage, when it was designed to last over 24 hours. Since the battery completely drained itself, it can no longer be recharged. Additionally, the solar panels no longer produce energy for the system. Consequently, this 70k system is permanently defective and no longer under warranty because of Sun Power’s recent bankruptcy as well as improper wiring completed by August roofing that caused my battery to drain prematurely. After recently calling August Roofing requesting for the system to be repaired, they advised me that they will no longer honor the warranty they had sold me upon purchasing the system and would no longer service this system moving forward. Ultimately, August Roofing sold me and installed this entire solar system at my residence, but due to Sun Power’s bankruptcy, has chosen to no longer honor the promises and commitments they made to me and countless customers when initially purchasing this system. August Roofing installed defective Sun Power’s solar equipment at my residence and now will no longer service it. I am now stuck with a 70k solar system that is completely inoperable. *Do not use August Roofing for any solar related products as they will not stand behind their customers if there are any issues with the products they install or warranties that come with these products.*

Sent an e-mail inquiry but instead of just politely saying they can't do it, they told us to remove their company from our email list. We don't know what we did wrong. We were in serious need of help but instead did not get a proper answer. Disappointing.

August Roofing did an amazing job on replacing our 26 year old roof. From the beginning with our initial contact with the Project Consultant, Mike Lerch, who walked us thru everything to Luis Flores, the Project Coordinator, who set up the dates for the roof to be done with the fantastic crew it was done so quickly and proficiently!! And the daily updates from the Site Supervisor, Emmanuel Jamison, was incredible!! Everyone was so professional, friendly, and worked very hard to clean up around the yard as we have grandchildren here frequently and a dog so they made sure to pick up the nails and any debris! My husband and I have noticed for years August roofing trucks in our neighborhood. We really were happy to support a local company and one that obviously has a great reputation within the community! Thank you August Roofing for a doing a fantastic job!!! 😊

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for this wonderful review and for trusting August Roofing with the replacement of your roof! We are so grateful you took the time to recognize our team by name. Mike Lerch, Luis Flores, and Emmanuel Jamison will be thrilled to know their work made such a difference, from the initial walkthrough to the daily updates during the project. We also take a lot of pride in leaving a clean site behind, so knowing our crew was mindful of your grandchildren and dog means a great deal to us! It also warms our hearts to hear that you have watched our trucks in the neighborhood over the years and chose to support a local, community-based company. Building that kind of trust and reputation is something we never take for granted. Thank you again for your kind words and for welcoming us into your home!

Work done well and on time. Communication before the work began was great. During the install, communication could have been better. But the quality of work was outstanding.

They were efficient ahead of schedule. And very very good at their job. Like a roof artisan.

August Roofing helped us out with a roof tune up -- tile replacements, vent sealing and adjustments. We also had them install attic fire vents. We're getting prepared before El Nino next winter. Special thanks to Oscar the salesman and Santos the installer.

We just had a complete roof replacement. The job was well planned, permits were handled well, rhe crew was careful, polite, knew their trade, and left the jobsite clean every day. The foreman and supervisors paid close attention to the job, and we always felt informed about progress. All work was competed on time. Most of the employees have been with the company for years, so they were familiar with the work required. We have referred them to multiple friends and family.
