Roofing + solar
A strong roof.
A smarter start.
Plan your roof and solar as one project. Start with an honest assessment of what your roof needs, then build the right system above it.

Before panels go up
Start with the roof you have.
A new solar system should not hide an unresolved roofing problem. We look at the condition below the panels first.
Assess
Review roof condition, signs of leaks, the supporting structure, and the planned solar area. A suitable roof may be ready without replacement.
Coordinate
If repairs or replacement are needed, agree on the scope before solar installation. Plan mounting locations, flashing, access, and the sequence of work together.
Protect + document
Complete the roofing and solar work around the agreed design. Review the inspection steps and the equipment, roofing, and installation coverage that applies.
More than shingles
Every layer has a job.
A roof works as a system. Solar mounting needs to respect the layers that manage water, weather, and airflow.
- Seal
- Underlayment and barriers help manage water beneath the outer roof covering. Flashing protects transitions and mounting penetrations.
- Defend
- The roof covering, edges, and ridge details form the exposed protective surface around the solar array.
- Breathe
- Appropriate intake and exhaust ventilation help manage heat and moisture in the attic.
Material matters
The approach follows your roof.
Your material and roof design guide how we plan attachments and weather protection.
- Composite shingle
- Plan attachments and flashing around the shingle layers and the condition of the roof deck.
- Metal
- Match the attachment approach to the roof profile, seams, material, and manufacturer requirements.
- Tile
- Account for tile handling, underlayment, and flashing details before installing mounts.
- Flat or low-slope
- Review drainage, membrane condition, structural loads, and the appropriate mounting method.
