We had a recent fire at my parents house where the roof was damaged. Ian and Imani took their time to explain that a flat roof is hard to tarp, and there are no guarantees, but they would do the best they physically could to get the job done. The men they sent over took their time to go over the job with me and did…
Used build brothers for a new roof (bought a new house and roof was 20+ years old). Also redid 4 large windows as a second job following the completion of the roof as I was very satisfied with their service. Quote and inspection for the roof was done by Evan, very thorough vs other roofers in order to make sure you…
Excellent response time and very thorough and informative. They are also incredibly knowledgeable with solar both new and when it needs to be removed and out back on after a roof replacement.
Kenny was awesome! He’s responsive reliable and timely. Plus he has very good prices, would hire again.
I have used and referred Kenny from build brothers multiple times. Highly recommend! They are honest, reliable and have great customer service!
I had Builder Bro install our Solar System (27 panels + Telsa batteries) last fall and it has been doing great every since. So glad not to be getting overcharged by SDGE anymore. Team is great and professional. Highly recommended.

We had a recent fire at my parents house where the roof was damaged. Ian and Imani took their time to explain that a flat roof is hard to tarp, and there are no guarantees, but they would do the best they physically could to get the job done. The men they sent over took their time to go over the job with me and did an excellent overall tarp of the roof. I would highly recommend Build Brothers.

Great experience working with Colton at Build Brothers Inc. He was professional, responsive, and kept everything organized throughout the project. Definitely recommend Colton and the team!
I was left high & dry by another company. After two years of misery, I found Ian & George at Build Brothers. Finally, I am getting help and couldn't be happier or more impressed with their knowledge and attention to the details. I cant thank them enough.
My partner and I purchased a home recently and during our inspections we were told that our roof and solar needed some attention. We selected Build Brothers because of their solid reputation. Kenny Draper came out and inspected both our roofing and solar. He found them to be in good enough condition so as not to require any work for several years. He also provided tips on how we could maximize our financial return on our solar system. I was thoroughly impressed. Rather than selling us work we did not need, he was 100% HONEST and gave us useful guidance for future steps. Build Brothers deserve their stellar reputation and we will be sure to use them when it does indeed come time to enhance our roof.

We recently had our roof replaced by Build Brothers Inc., and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Our sales representative, Evan Greenhalgh, was great to work with from the start. He was personable, communicated well, listened to what we wanted, and offered some really good suggestions. Evan spoke highly of Build Brothers and assured us we'd be happy with their work, and he was absolutely right! Fabian, the lead installer, did an outstanding job managing the crew and making sure everything went smoothly. He took a personal interest in our project, paid attention to the details, and clearly cared about doing the job right. The crew, Mario, Adrian, Pedro, and Alexis, were fantastic guys who showed up every morning at 7:30 and were hard at work by 7:35! They worked incredibly hard all day, were always friendly and polite, and regularly checked with us to make sure we were happy with how everything was looking. You could tell these guys took pride in their work, and it really showed in the finished product. We highly recommend Build Brothers and want to thank Evan, Fabian, Mario, Adrian, Pedro, and Alexis for a job well done!

Beyond Exceptional: Build Brothers & Tesla Powerwall 3 Are the Ultimate SDG&E Solution In San Diego, beating SDG&E’s outrageous $0.80/kWh peak rates (4 PM–9 PM) is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for housing affordability. After helping our son purchase his home, we knew we had to address the property’s failing 15-year-old Aurora inverter and aging 21-panel solar system. We were introduced to Build Brothers through our Realtor, Jeanne Liebel. As part of our new home purchase and due diligence, Colton Frisch conducted an exceptionally detailed roof inspection that flagged the failing equipment early, allowing us to secure a sizable credit from the seller during closing to fund an upgrade. When we officially hired Build Brothers to design a replacement, they didn't just sell us panels—they engineered a complete solution based on our household usage (EV charging, A/C, and pool equipment). They installed 13 Hyundai 440W solar panels paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) with an integrated inverter. Why the Tesla Powerwall 3 is a Game-Changer: Simply having rooftop solar isn't enough under current rate structures; avoiding grid usage when the sun goes down is the real key. Think of the Powerwall 3 like a DVR for your home's power: Load Shifting: It captures surplus solar energy generated during midday and powers the house throughout the evening peak window. Zero Grid Draw: We routinely run our AC set to 75°F from 4 PM to 9 PM and beyond, pulling 0 kWh from SDG&E. Execution & Results: The Build Brothers crew was incredible. In just 3 days, they removed the old array and inverter, repaired the roof, installed the new solar system and Powerwall 3, and even installed a dedicated NEMA 14-50 garage outlet for fast, sun-powered EV charging. Special thanks to Colton, Jesse, John Ross, Cristian, and John Perez for their professionalism and top-tier craftsmanship. If you are looking to take control of your energy bills in San Diego, I recommend contacting the Team at Build Brothers! https://buildbrothersinc.com/

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! It was a pleasure helping your family, from Colton’s initial roof inspection during the home purchase to designing and installing a solar and battery system tailored to your son’s home. Hearing how well the Powerwall 3 is working for your household makes this especially rewarding. We’ll gladly share your kind words with Colton, Jesse, John Ross, Cristian, and John Perez. We appreciate your trust in our team and Jeanne’s introduction. Thank you for choosing Build Brothers and recommending us so enthusiastically, we’re here whenever you need us!
Our home inspection company partners with Build Brothers often to help our clients get a deeper dive into the roof. Jen and Kenny are great to work with. Highly recommend!

Thank you for trusting our team to take a closer look at your clients’ roofs! We value our partnership and appreciate the recommendation. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Jen and Kenny!
Build Brothers replaced my roof, my HVAC and installed 26 solar panels and two Tesla batteries. Colton Firsch our project mgr, guided us through the process of selecting the correct products for our home, getting all the paperwork completed and the rather extensive installation process of these purchases. He made it really easy for us. Follow up on a few system issues has been great. Thank you Colton and Build Brothers for a job well done!
Enjoy your home upgrades! Coordinating a new roof, HVAC, solar, and batteries takes a lot of moving parts, so we’re happy Colton helped make it all feel manageable. Our work doesn’t end at installation, and we’re glad you’ve felt supported as we’ve addressed those system issues. We appreciate the wonderful review!
