Seaberg Construction Overview
Seaberg Construction occupies a unique and somewhat unusual position in our review: they are a roofing company that takes solar very seriously — but only up to a point. Founded in Johnston, Rhode Island in 2006 by Adam Seaberg, the company has grown into one of the most credentialed exterior contractors in southern New England. They hold Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status, an elite designation held by fewer than seven roofing contractors in the entire state of Rhode Island. They carry a near-perfect 4.9-star Google rating, are BBB A+ accredited, and were named one of the top three roofing companies in Rhode Island in the 2022 Providence Journal Readers' Choice Awards.
The catch is this: Seaberg offers "solar-ready roofing" — a roof installation specifically engineered for eventual solar panel mounting — but they do not install solar panels themselves. They will prepare your roof with optimal orientation, structural reinforcement for panel weight loads, and pre-run electrical conduit. The solar installation itself must then be coordinated with a separate solar contractor. For homeowners wanting everything done by one company in one project, this is a fundamental limitation.
For the right homeowner, however, Seaberg's phased approach has real merit. If your roof genuinely needs replacement now but you're not ready to commit to solar financing, getting a solar-ready roof from one of Rhode Island's best roofing contractors — and adding panels later through a dedicated solar installer — is a legitimate strategy. The roofing quality will be outstanding; the coordination challenge comes later. For most homeowners who want both projects done simultaneously with integrated financing, though, Seaberg is simply not able to deliver that experience.

Customer Review Analysis
Seaberg Construction maintains an outstanding reputation across Rhode Island with a 4.9 Google rating from 125+ reviews and zero BBB complaints. Homeowners consistently praise the quality of workmanship, transparent pricing, and responsive communication from the entire team. The company is primarily an exterior renovation specialist — roofing, siding, windows, and decks — with solar-ready roofing as a growing capability rather than a core offering.

What Customers Praise
- Exceptional craftsmanship with roof replacements routinely completed in a single day and described as flawless
- Outstanding communication from office staff, project managers, and ownership throughout every project phase
- No high-pressure sales tactics — homeowners consistently praise honest assessments and competitive pricing
- Meticulous job site cleanup including 10-point process and magnet sweeps for stray nails
- Owner Adam Seaberg personally present on site for quality inspections and homeowner check-ins
What to Watch For
- One reviewer noted stray nails left behind after old siding removal, suggesting occasional cleanup oversights
- Solar capabilities appear secondary to core roofing and siding business with no direct solar installation reviews found
- A small number of sub-5-star Google reviews exist (3 of 113 on Trustindex) but review text was not publicly accessible
- Limited post-installation follow-up commentary in reviews — most feedback focuses on the project itself rather than long-term support
Seaberg Construction has built a strong reputation across Rhode Island since its founding in 2006 by Adam Seaberg and Jonathan Rezendes. With a 4.9-star Google rating from over 125 reviews and an A+ BBB accreditation with zero complaints, the company demonstrates a consistent pattern of customer satisfaction. Homeowners across platforms — from GuildQuality to Nextdoor — describe the team as professional, communicative, and committed to delivering quality results on time and on budget.
A recurring theme in reviews is the company's no-pressure sales approach. Multiple homeowners report that Adam Seaberg provided thorough, honest evaluations without upselling unnecessary work, and several noted that his quotes came in lower than competitors. The office staff, particularly Laura, receive frequent praise for seamless scheduling and proactive communication. On the installation side, reviewers highlight the speed and precision of the crew — full roof replacements completed in a single day are a common refrain — along with meticulous cleanup procedures including magnet sweeps for stray nails.
Worth noting is that Seaberg Construction is primarily an exterior renovation contractor with roofing and siding as its core competencies. While the company markets solar-ready roofing and publishes educational content about preparing roofs for solar panel installation, no reviews specifically reference a completed solar installation. For homeowners seeking a bundled roof-and-solar solution, this distinction is important. The one area where a minor concern surfaced was a single mention of nails left behind after siding removal — an isolated incident in an otherwise remarkably clean review profile. The handful of sub-5-star reviews (3 out of 113 on one aggregator) had no publicly accessible text, making it difficult to identify any systemic patterns of concern.
How We Analyze Reviews
Our editorial team uses AI-assisted analysis to review 30–50+ recent customer reviews from independent platforms including Google Business, BBB, SolarReviews, and EnergySage each quarter. We identify recurring patterns — both positive and negative — across all platforms and synthesize our findings into the analysis above. Every company is evaluated using the same methodology. No company can pay to influence their review analysis.

Roofing
Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor (one of only 6–7 in all of Rhode Island); installs Owens Corning Duration Series and other shingles; full exterior services including siding, windows, gutters, and doors; solar-ready roof preparation includes structural load calculations, optimal panel orientation, and pre-run electrical conduit

Roofing Performed By
In-house — Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, roofing specialist (does not install solar)
Seaberg Construction does not offer a traditional roof+solar bundle. They offer what they call "solar-ready roofing" — a roof replacement that is specifically engineered to make a future solar installation as seamless as possible. This is distinct from a bundle: you will need to hire a separate solar installer to complete the solar side of the project.
What "Solar-Ready Roofing" Includes
- Structural Load Assessment: Seaberg evaluates your home's roof decking and rafters to ensure they can support the additional weight of solar panels (typically 2–4 lbs/sq ft). Any needed reinforcements are made during the roof replacement.
- Optimal Orientation Planning: The roof replacement is designed with solar panel placement in mind — ensuring the pitch, orientation (ideally south-facing), and layout are optimized for maximum solar production.
- Pre-Run Electrical Conduit: Seaberg can run electrical conduit from the roof area to your electrical panel during construction, eliminating significant labor costs when a solar installer later mounts panels and runs wiring.
- Owens Corning Shingles: All roofing uses Owens Corning products, installed under their Platinum Preferred program. The Platinum Protection warranty provides 25 years of workmanship coverage backed by Owens Corning — one of the strongest roofing warranties available.
Roofing Credentials
Seaberg holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status, one of fewer than seven contractors to hold this designation in Rhode Island. This certification requires maintaining an active license, passing background checks, carrying required insurance, and meeting Owens Corning's installation quality standards. It unlocks the Platinum Protection warranty that provides 25-year workmanship coverage backed directly by Owens Corning — not just the contractor. In addition to roofing, Seaberg offers full exterior services: siding, windows, doors, and gutters.
What Solar-Ready Roofing Does NOT Include
To be clear: Seaberg will not install solar panels, inverters, or monitoring systems. You will need to hire a separate NABCEP-certified solar installer after your Seaberg roof is complete. This requires coordinating two separate contractors, two separate financing arrangements, two permit processes, and two project timelines. The financial advantage of bundling — where solar loan financing can cover roofing costs — is not available through this approach.

Pricing & Financing
Roofing Pricing
Seaberg Construction provides custom quotes — pricing is not published online and varies based on roof size, pitch, material selection, and any required structural work. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, Seaberg uses premium materials that may cost more than budget roofing options, but come with industry-leading warranty coverage. Free estimates are available.
Financing Options
Unlike solar companies that can roll roofing costs into solar financing (allowing the roof to be "paid for" by energy savings), Seaberg's financing is traditional home improvement lending:
- Service Finance Company — 10-Year Loan: Fixed 9.99% interest rate over 120 months. No prepayment penalties. Approval in minutes via mobile app. Pricing is the same for all qualifying applicants regardless of credit score.
- Service Finance Company — 5-Year Loan: Fixed 6.99% interest rate over 60 months. Lower overall interest cost; higher monthly payment. Same instant approval process.
- Rhode Island HEAT Loan: State-administered 0% interest financing up to $25,000 for qualifying energy efficiency improvements (including roofing related to energy efficiency). Terms up to 84 months. This is Rhode Island-specific — MA and CT homeowners may not qualify.
- Cash Payment: Full payment at project completion.
No $0-Down Solar Financing
Since Seaberg does not install solar, they cannot offer $0-down solar financing that covers roofing costs — a key financial advantage offered by integrated bundle companies like Evergreen Solar or Sunfinity Power. With Seaberg, you are financing a roof alone. The solar installation will be a separate future expense with its own financing arrangement.
Federal Tax Credit Limitation
The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) applies to solar installations, not standalone roofing. Because Seaberg only installs the roof — not solar — homeowners working with Seaberg cannot apply the federal ITC to their roofing costs unless the roof is later deemed a solar installation cost by their solar installer. This is a meaningful financial disadvantage compared to integrated bundle companies.

Our Take on Seaberg Construction
Seaberg Construction receives our lowest overall score in this review — not because they do poor roofing work (they are genuinely excellent at that), but because they fundamentally cannot provide what most homeowners searching for a roof+solar bundle actually need: the solar installation itself. Our scoring methodology heavily weights the quality of the integrated bundle program, and Seaberg simply doesn't have one. They install exceptional roofs, but the solar half of the equation must be sourced elsewhere.
To be fair to Seaberg: they are transparent about this. They are not trying to be a solar installer. They are Rhode Island's most credentialed roofing contractor — with Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status held by fewer than seven companies statewide, a 4.9-star Google rating, and nearly 20 years of track record — who happens to offer solar-ready roofing preparation as an add-on service. For homeowners who only need a roof, or who specifically want to delay solar by a few years, Seaberg is a top-tier choice. For homeowners who want an integrated project with unified financing, a single project timeline, and the ability to use solar loan proceeds to offset roofing costs, Seaberg cannot deliver that.
Best for: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut homeowners who need a high-quality roof replacement now and plan to add solar later through a separate installer. Also appropriate for homeowners who want the best possible roofing warranty (Owens Corning's Platinum Protection, 25-year workmanship) and are comfortable coordinating two separate contractors for their roof and solar projects. Not the right choice if you want a seamless roof+solar bundle experience — see Evergreen Solar or Sunfinity Power for that.

Frequently Asked Questions About Seaberg Construction
Why is Seaberg Construction in your review if they don't install solar?
We include Seaberg because homeowners researching solar-ready roofing will encounter them, and we want to provide an honest assessment. Their "solar-ready roofing" approach has legitimate merit for homeowners planning a phased approach — roof now, solar later. But the financial and logistical advantages of bundling both projects simultaneously are lost when splitting them, which is why their overall score reflects this limitation.
What is "solar-ready roofing" and does Seaberg offer it?
Solar-ready roofing means installing a new roof that is specifically prepared for future solar panel installation: reinforced structure to handle panel weight loads, optimal pitch and orientation for maximum solar production, and pre-run electrical conduit from the roof area to your electrical panel. Seaberg offers this as part of their roofing replacement service. It reduces the cost and disruption of a future solar installation — but you will still need to hire a separate solar company to actually install the panels.
What warranty does Seaberg Construction offer?
Seaberg offers two layers of warranty protection. First, their own 10-year workmanship guarantee covering installation defects. Second — and more significantly — their Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status unlocks the Platinum Protection Limited Warranty: 25 years of full workmanship coverage backed directly by Owens Corning (not just the contractor), plus lifetime materials coverage prorated after year 25. This is one of the strongest roofing warranties available in the industry.
Is Seaberg Construction BBB accredited?
Yes — Seaberg Construction has been BBB Accredited since 2017 and maintains an A+ BBB rating. The company is also an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor (one of fewer than seven in Rhode Island) and was recognized as one of the top three roofing companies in Rhode Island by the 2022 Providence Journal Readers' Choice Awards.
Does Seaberg Construction offer financing?
Yes — Seaberg offers several financing options through their partnership with Service Finance Company, LLC: a 10-year fixed-rate loan at 9.99%, a 5-year fixed-rate loan at 6.99%, or for Rhode Island homeowners, the state's HEAT Loan program at 0% interest for up to $25,000 over 84 months. Note that these are roofing-only financing options — they do not include solar financing. Integrated bundle companies like Evergreen Solar can offer solar loans that effectively cover roofing costs, which may produce better overall economics.
What areas does Seaberg Construction serve?
Seaberg Construction is headquartered in Johnston, Rhode Island and serves homeowners in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. Rhode Island is their primary market. For solar panel installation, you will need to find a separate contractor in your area — Seaberg only handles the roofing and solar-ready preparation.
