My husband and I had roofing and solar done by Bison. From start to finish, exceptional service. We were unsure of the process, especially solar, but they were careful to explain everything in detail. Our roof has been solid with no issues, and the solar has saved us more money than we expected! So pleased with the service from Adam and his team, couldn't recommend them more!

Adam was able to give us a quote the day we called him. He is knowledgeable, personable and dependable. Adam took his time explaining everything to us, as we were new homeowners with zero experience in roof replacement. Adam and his team did such an amazing job, my parents had their roof replaced by Bison too. Their (custom) roof is so beautiful, that passers by often stop and tell my parents just that. I recommend Bison to anyone who asks. Heck, I recommend Bison even if they don't ask. Thank you Adam and the entire Bison Team!

Bison Roofing has just completed a new roof for us, we are waiting on the solar panels and also have signed up with them for another roof on another house. Jonathan A. has done a great job in explaining and following through with the process. To date we are very happy with the services we have received from Jonathan, Adam and the roofing team.

Our second experience with Bison was excellent. Andrew Ferrin, our knowledgeable sales rep, was very helpful in getting an additional 8 kw system installed. Natalie Guzman, our administrator, was very helpful with our permitting, planning, and available when we had questions. Adam Coughlin gave great advice concerning future needs, personal consumption and electric cars. Installation was very professional and looks fantastic. I highly recommend Bison for your Solar needs!

As an electrical contractor for 37 years, I began researching a solar powered solution for my home. My experience with Bison Roofing and Solar was very impressive. From the initial contact & contract discussions, to the engineering/permitting/equipment acquisition, and lastly to the installation, inspections, and programing/commissioning I was thoroughly pleased.
The staff was constantly communicating and keeping me updated on the progress of the project. A very important factor in my selection of Bison Roofing and Solar. My company has managed and installed multiple large contracts at the 3 large South Florida airports and have a true understanding and measure of competence. I highly recommend Bison Roofing and Solar as a first choice contractor for any solar project. NOTE: This was a 32KW PV Array System and was reasonably priced within the standard industry costs.

Adam and the whole team were great. They're prices were great and Adam helped us through the decision process of getting the right thing for us. The install team was quick efficient communicative and very polite. When there was a storm before the new roof was in place they sent out a 2 person crew to stop the leaks very late at night. The home had some very tricky aspects to the install that they handled without a problem. When we get solar we will be using them again. Great people. Great company.

I would recommend this company 100% for Solar Roofing. There were a few issues along the way with the installation of the new Solar System, but mostly due to communications. I had a chance to talk with Adam and he was extremely customer oriented and personable. The Solar system that I purchased in tandem with FPL Net Metering is performing exactly as expected now that it is summer.
I am able to see my solar generation every 15 minutes and through FPL see that they are receiving it where they show me actual use and credits when it generates more than use. I have had the system online and running for 3 months now and wanted to wait until summer to see what my bill would be. This month is was less than $10. How many other times do you get what they promised on a Marketing brochure without reading all the fine print?

My wife and I recently had Bison Roofing and Solar replace a large flat roof (apprx 4000 sqft + a small pyramidical hip roof + tapered insulation to reduce ponding on the flat roof). Bison was thrown several big curve-balls during the project that were really outside of their control, and Aaron and Andrew (and the whole Bison crew) handled the challenging circumstances with extreme professionalism and integrity!
They did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it (for that which was in their control). We are very happy with our new roof and to have found such a trustworthy company. We highly recommend them!

Today, I got my solar panels installed by Bison Roofing Solar. I was so excited of doing my part for clean energy. The installation went well and the installers did a professional job. My sales rep Adrian sent me pics on the progress of the job. Also, Natalie was always professional and courteous when answering all my questions. Bison Roofing Solar did my roof and solar panels and did a excellent job on both projects. Great Job!

A company that does not stand by their word and services. We had solar panels installed by this company some time ago. We have had SEVERAL leaks throughout the house since then and a MAJOR leak coming right through my ceiling fan, over my BED! I have called 3-5x, emailed them and received no response via email and out of the 3-5 calls, I reached someone and they stated that they would have the issue rectified. Lets just say it has been well over a month since those calls were made and no one came out, no one followed up.
Save your money and take your business elsewhere unless you'd also like to be rained on in the middle of the night. I now have a fan that is ruining and splotches throughout ceiling due all the leaks.

While my metal roof looks amazing the workers they used were sub par and did damage to my finished porch and didn't care and didn't repair. The solar installers were top notch. No complaints. Communication with the company itself could be better. Our rep was very helpful and we used him a lot to communicate. All in all satisfied with completion dissatisfied with communication due to slow response. Still recommend for solar.

Had a new roof installed on my home a little over 2 years ago in Orlando. New roof developed a leak in the garage which caused plywood and drywall damage. I called Bison and they said they only offer a 2 year workmanship warranty (sub par for the industry I found out). I asked if they could come out and look but they told me the warranty had just expired and they do not do work in Orlando any more.
I asked if they could recommend a local contractor and no one ever replied to my message/text. I found another contractor to fix my problem and they said no flashing was ever installed where the roof met the wall and that caused a "pooling" effect and started leaking. As you can see in the picture there were shingles on top of bare plywood! $2,200 repair bill on a 2 1/2 year old roof! Sadly disappointed because the experience was great when they installed the roof.

I cannot speak to the quality of Bison's work (for reasons that will become obvious) but their communications skills are failing-grade. We sought a quote for roofing and solar in late June 2019. The first step was reporting monthly usage stats for the three FP&L meters on our property (including two apartment units), though the project proposed was only for one meter (main house).
A bit more than a month later we were ready to sign, when suddenly our sales guy sent us an email (!) saying Bison could not work with us because there were three meters on our property and his engineers said this would require permitting as a "commercial" project. Which is weird, right? They knew from day one that there were three meters, they had full details of monthly electrical usage from all three FP&L accounts back in June.
So I asked for details, and he ghosted me. No reply to emails, no reply to voicemails left on his cellphone, for more than two weeks. I finally tried reaching him at the office. I was transferred to someone else who was familiar with my project. I tried to get details on where this "commercial" designation came from -- city? county? He said it's an electrical work thing (weird, we had an electrician work on those meters three years ago without fuss) and he called out the Broward Country Property Appraiser's office as having reported to Bison that our property was zoned commercial. Which, when I contacted that office, was flatly denied.
When I reached out to Bison for further clarification, more ghosting. Which is when I gave up. I think it's likely that Bison ran into some real-world roadblock but more than anything else, their habit of ghosting me rather than explaining their decisions makes me think it would be very very bad to be in any kind of dispute with them over details of a project, permits, payment, or anything important. I'm inclined to think that we dodged a bullet on this one. [Also, and I don't know if this is standard practice in this industry, but two of their sales reps explicitly bad-mouthed another company that they knew was providing a competing quote. I personally would have preferred them to take the high road and argue for their own proposal based solely on Bison's merits, but maybe I am old-fashioned.]

Paid for product/services never delivered and company refusing to return monies. I asked for a refund for $4,738 for a work, on their recommendation, to add a pitch to a new flat roof that they were installing. Additional money was paid in full, but no pitch ever added. The owner, repeatedly insisted there was a pitch. I had both town and state inspectors inspect the roof, confirming that there is no such pitch, along with several other issues with the new roof itself. Bison was informed of the proof that they had not provided a pitch, but at that time changed to saying that 'because they had to use extra materials and labor to fix leaks, (on the flat roof they that installed at almost $40,000), they would not refund the monies for the separately contracted, billed and paid for project, ($4,738)'.
Some background info is warranted I first contacted Bison roofing to obtain a quote for the replacement of a flat roof on my 3 bedroom house. Once I had accepted a price I feel I was pressurised and misled into installing Solar Panels amongst other things. They then used aggressive sales techniques to get me to sign up to the work, now nearly $40,000, right there and then, and call to arrange this finance whilst still in my living room.
I know it was foolish now, but the project went ahead without any real chance to reconsider the financing or work, and I am now led to understand that they should have told me there was a 'cooling off' period, where I could reconsider. In fact once I had signed the contract it was taken away and I was not left with a copy. I did not receive a copy of the contract until after work had not only commenced but was supposedly completed, at which time my ceilings and home were in a mess.
No conversation took place informing me I had a chance to reconsider, in fact quite the opposite, I feel I was strongly pressurized into an immediate decision. No physical inspection of the existing roof was conducted as I was told that was no requirement to do so as they use satellite imaging to view the roof before providing me with the original quote, and the as such they were aware that I had AC unit and ducting on the roof.
I was given the clear impression this was all part and parcel of replacing the roof. I of course did not expect the AC ducting to be replaced, but the roof to be refitted to accommodate that. After a couple of days their representatives, Andy, arrived at my house telling me that I needed to completely remove the ducting and that I would be better off to have multi-unit AC system fitted.
I did not agree to that on his first attempt/visit but he persisted in calling and 'persuading me' to consider this. They estimated this would be around $4,500 - $5,000 and of course knew somebody who could do this. It ended up costing nearly $10,000 and was in itself another complete mess. When workmen turned up to commence the work on the roof they would not start until the ducting was removed, despite the lack of time for me to get an accurate quote for the multi-unit AC, or fully understand the implications. Again, I had been led to believe that the additional pitch I had paid for was to allow the AC piping to be run through the roof space.
I now have thick cables running along the top of the walls in two bedrooms due to no pitch space to run those. In addition to this they said they needed to add a further $4,738 to the original price for the roof in order to add such a pitch to it, facilitating space for the AC contractor having additional room to run vents, saying 3 additional cooling vents would be added to allow the removal of hot air, these were not added.
Their written 'suggestion' said that if I did not pay an additional amount for the pitch any warranty would be void, I would almost certainly have damage once water collected, and it would facilitate a new AC ducting system through the roofing space. Again, this was a written additional quote and contract 'suggested' and provided by them.

Bison Roofing and Solar installed a new main flat roof with three working roof drains, and also replaced the patio flat roof. The previous roof was water logged with ponding of water and bubbling up of the roof in places. With the new roof, there is no ponding and the roof is nice and dry. Additionally, nice modern looking solar panels were installed on the main roof to power the whole house and heat the pool.
My FPL bill that used to be $350 before the solar panels, now ranges between $20-40 monthly! And no need for expensive propane gas to heat the pools. The swimming pool and spa are very nice and hot! Thank you very much Adam and Bison Roofing and Solar for a job very well done! Joseph S.

A friend of mine suggested that I call Bison Roofing after I talked to a few shady roofing companies regarding the damage to my roof. From the get go they where wonderful! They even explained my insurance claim to me. Very knowledgable, curtious and helpful. They finished my roof in one day! I went to work and when I got home. it was done! They even did a few extra things.

Thank you Bison Roofing and Solar, our solar panels survived Hurricane Irma without a scratch! So very impressed with the quality of the panels and workmanship of your installers. They know what they are doing for sure! We highly recommend Bison Roofing & Solar. Their team, Adam, Fernanda & Dan are very professional, knowledgeable, experienced and clearly communicated what to expect during the entire solar installation process.
We felt they had our best interests in mind through engineering, permitting and installation of our 11.6 kw system. They worked with our metal roofing manufacturer to engineer leak proof attachment points for our metal roof. Bison Roofing & Solar went the extra mile to protect our expensive roof. We are very impressed so far with the performance of the solar panels and are looking forward to saving money with our electric bill.

Thank you Bison Roofing for our awesome new roof! The crew was very efficient and quick. The job took less then a week and they did a remarkable job. Adam and Kim were very helpful in working with us in picking out the right tile and color for our new roof. Thanks again and hopefully we'll see you back in a couple of years for some solar!

Our new roof is beautiful! Thanks to Adam and Kim for helping us select the perfect new roof for our home. The color and style have completely changed the way our house looks.from a boring old white to gorgeous, modern "burnt chestnut." Old roof was off in a day and new roof was up within a couple more. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Bison and their team of experts!

Terrible! Stay away from this company. They sent Mark McGrath to my house for an estimate on a solar system on a Wednesday, we agreed on a price that night but did not sign until the following Friday. When Mark McGrath came to the house on Friday he said he had to change the price and add 2000 dollars. He stated that because we have a combo panel it changed the price but we had done a walk around of the property on Wednesday and he was aware of the combo panel before he quoted us a price so I disagreed with him and he agreed to the original price after phone approval from one of the owners.
We signed a contract. Today, Monday, Mark McGrath called and said that he won't honor the price and is cancelling the project. The company is very shady and they were trying to dupe us out of another 2000 dollars. Buyer Beware! POST EDIT/UPDATE I spoke with Adam a couple of times and he is very apologetic about the behavior of his salesman. He has offered to rectify the situation in anyway necessary.
I appreciate his efforts to right the wrong of his employee and feel that it is prudent to provide that update here. However, I have decided not to use Bison and look elsewhere. Thank you Adam for trying to turn this experience around. I have updated my rating to 3 stars because of Adam's efforts.

Bison did my roof, Gutters and Siding. The service that was provide to me was top of the LINE. If you need any of these services done to your home I would recommend Bison. The professionalism of the Project Manager was great. The office Staff was great. I am very pleased with the overall work. If I had to Grade Bison I would give them AAA. A company that cares about its customers!
