From Roof Giveaway to Solar Upgrade

From Roof Giveaway to Solar Upgrade: How One Ventura County Homeowner Found a Brighter Way to Save

When a Ventura County homeowner got the call that she’d won August Roofing & Solar’s $15,000 Project Home Improvement Giveaway, she was thrilled and a little surprised.

The sweepstakes, presented in partnership with the Ventura County Star and USA Today, was designed to award one lucky homeowner a brand-new roof. But when Lisa shared that she and her husband had just replaced their roof six months earlier, the August Roofing & Solar team saw an opportunity to make an even greater impact.

“When I first heard it was for a new roof, I thought, well… that doesn’t really help us,” Lisa laughed. “But when they said we could use it for solar, I got really excited again.”

Turning Opportunity Into Energy Savings

Rather than award the standard roof replacement, August Roofing & Solar reallocated Lisa’s prize toward a custom solar energy system, complete with new gutters. The new setup was designed to help her home generate clean power and lower utility costs for years to come.

It couldn’t have come at a better time. In Southern California, homeowners continue to see electric bills soar, often exceeding $600 a month during the hottest parts of the year. For Lisa, who works from home, adding solar wasn’t just about going green; it was about taking control.

Professional Service, Every Step of the Way

From start to finish, Lisa says the process was smooth, professional, and transparent. Something she quickly came to appreciate.

“They show up when they say they’re going to show up. They respond when they say they’re going to respond,” she shared. “I always felt like I knew what was happening next.”

Behind the scenes, the August Roofing & Solar team managed the design, permitting, and installation over a six-week period. The delivery met local codes and permitting requirements before turning the system on.

This level of care and communication is what sets August Roofing & Solar apart: a company built on professionalism, craftsmanship, and peace of mind for more than 30 years.

Giving Back, the August Way

For August Roofing & Solar, the giveaway was about more than one project. It was about gratitude for the community that has supported them for decades.

“Our company was built right here in this community,” said Founder and CEO Chris Dyck. “We’re proud to give back in ways that make a lasting difference for local families. Whether it’s a new roof or a solar system, our goal is always the same. To help homeowners protect and improve the place they call home.”
