What recent reviews say
Mostly five-star feedback over a year highlights Michael Hoerner, Michael Middleton, Juan, Gabriel, and Jose as crew who listen carefully, show up fast, and clean up thoroughly. One reviewer flagged phone staff rudeness, but 90% of reviews are five stars. The business has done gutter work, solar repairs, metal roof replacement, fascia fixes, and large commercial jobs on time and within budget. A property management company calls them a trusted partner, and multiple homeowners note they return promptly to fix issues or honour warranty work.
Many reviewers praise both the labour quality and pricing. NorCal has been in business since 1994 (their claim), covers Sacramento and the Bay Area, and handles everything from storm damage to mobile home roofing. One reviewer noted a year-long roof check showed zero leaks; another credits them with saving thousands and seamlessly tying work into the patio.

Semper Solaris
4.6(35)✓ Google-verified
Most reviewers praise individual staff for professionalism, clear communication, and clean job sites, with solar installations typically finished on time. However, recent complaints describe months-long delays, faulty battery and electrical installations that caused property damage, and unpaid invoices spanning years, suggesting systemic operational and accountability issues separate from field crew quality.

Prestige Roofing
4.7(41)✓ Google-verified
Bill Ridings runs this company with hands-on oversight across all jobs, often working alongside his brother Zack and their crew. Reviewers consistently highlight punctuality, clear communication before and during work, honest assessments without upselling, competitive pricing that undercuts bigger firms, and finished roofs that exceed expectations. The crew uses premium materials (Owens Corning noted), stays organized on site, cleans daily including flower beds and gutters, and stands ready to handle tough structural problems without overcharging. Repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals show deep local trust; even neighbors and former contractors comment on visible quality. Prestige handles residential replacement and repairs, inspections, gutter work, and occasional complex tile or damaged-framing scenarios. Roseville, Citrus Heights, and surrounding areas appear in recent jobs. No complaints surface in the twenty recent reviews; the business markets itself as small, local, and family-owned, with over 20 years claimed on their website (one reviewer mentions Bill's 40-plus years in the trade). Certification shows CA License 837681 and full bonding and insurance.
