Clean installs, clear communication, tidy job sites

Solar Roofing in Rockford and Nearby Communities

Adding solar? Start with a roof that’s built to carry it and stay dry. We evaluate the deck, design clear drainage, and install watertight mounts and flashings that meet manufacturer specs and local code. Whether you need a solar-ready reroof, array remove-and-reset (R&R) for a replacement, or leak repairs around penetrations, we coordinate with your solar provider and keep the site organized from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace my roof before going solar?

If the roof has 10 years or less of expected life, replacing it first usually saves money and avoids a second array removal later. We’ll assess and give you clear options.

Who pulls permits—roofing or solar?

We handle the roof permit; your solar company handles electrical/structural permits. We coordinate schedules so the project runs smoothly.

How do you keep penetrations watertight?

We use flashed standoffs matched to the roof system, sealed with compatible membranes/underlayments and fasteners set into structure—not just sheathing.

Can you work with my existing array for a reroof?

Yes. We provide remove-and-reset services in coordination with your solar contractor, then reinstall mounts and flashings to spec.

Will solar void my roof warranty?

When mounts and flashings are installed per the roofing and solar manufacturers’ instructions, warranties remain in force. We document details in writing.

What about snow and ice around panels?

We plan drain paths, crickets, and edge metal so meltwater doesn’t back up. Heat cables are an option for problem eaves; we’ll advise if needed.
