United Better Homes pairs a new roof with solar, and its customers split sharply on how that goes. The family-owned exterior contractor says it has served New England since 2003 from a Central Falls, RI headquarters with offices in Attleboro and Worcester, doing roofing, solar, windows, doors and siding; its site lists Massachusetts HIC #161035 and Rhode Island #26256, and cites GAF Master Elite and Mass Save participation. Google shows 4.6 stars from 13 ratings. In an April 2026 Google review, a customer said the roofers went from tear-off to shingles in one day, and the solar crew put up the rails, panels and electrical system ready for inspection. A November 2025 customer on their second solar and battery installation with UBH said they were very satisfied, and another November 2025 reviewer said the conduit was routed so it wasn't visible from outside. A July 2025 Reddit commenter said UBH handled all of a permitting problem with their town. Other Reddit posts are warnings. In July 2026, a customer who had a roof and solar installed a few months earlier said the solar system had failed and no contact method on the company's site produced a response. In July 2025, one commenter said UBH botched everything with their solar, and another said the company responded only after a threat to sue. An October 2025 Google reviewer said that before any work began, one appointment was moved and the next was cancelled the same day, costing them two workdays, and the promised call to reschedule never came. In a 2015 Houzz review, a customer said the work took forever and the quality was poor.
“So I had UBH out for a new roof and Solar work a few month ago. Recently the solar system failed. Unfortunately I am unable to get ahold of anyone at UBH. Not contact method on their site or that worked in the past has produced a response. I have waited on hold with no answer, left voicemails, and sent e-mails. I am drafting a certified letter at this point and preparing to reach out for legal assistance on the matter.”
“United Better Homes screwed up everything that could be screwed up with our solar. Run, don't walk, away.”
“We had major issues with United Better Homes. They were absolutely terrible to deal with and only after a threat to sue did they respond.”
“I have solar through UBH. I was actually really happy with the process and performance. The only issue we ran into was Warwick being dumb with permits but they handled 100% of it.”
“Anyone worked with United Better Homes for solar installation and roof replacement?”
“I needed to get my roof done and happened to meet these guys while they were talking to my neighbor. I worked with AJ and Derek to sort out a new roof and a solar installation to take advantage of the rebates we still have going. Everything was done very quickly, the town holding up permits was the biggest wait. The roof took one day”
“We went with one company – United Better Homes– that did all three projects, which was great.”
Every step of the process of installation was messaged and professionally handled.
In regards to the roof and the roofers, I am very happy with the efficiency and effectiveness of the team. They were able to put up my roof from tear down to paper to shingles In 1 day as well as cleanup, I was impressed. I would highly recommend them to anyone The Solar Panel crew was just as effective from the time they arrived. They were able to put up the rails, The panels, the electrical system and have everything ready for the inspectors, I am pleased united better homes, professionalism and timeliness.
Great job and professional people.
Very professional, fast, and efficient installing our solar panels.
Amazing solar installer, whole process was seamless. They even routed the conduit in a way so its not even visible from outside. Best value compared to all the other businesses that gave us quotes and the timetable was also shorter too.
