Reviewers report mixed experiences with BSW. Several customers praise the company's roofing work, with reviewers describing project managers Luis and Victor as professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. Multiple reviewers commend the quality of completed roof installations and solar panel work, with one noting a five-year-old solar system remains in excellent condition. Some customers highlight exceptional customer service, including Curtis, the in-house solar engineer, who reportedly assisted with non-BSW solar systems. However, several reviewers report significant communication issues, stating they did not receive callbacks or quotes after initial estimates despite multiple follow-up attempts. One reviewer expressed frustration after waiting two months without receiving a promised solar quote and being unable to reach the company afterward. Reviewers also note the company declined to work on certain solar projects deemed too labor-intensive.
