Share the roof material, approximate age, leak history and any recent work. Photos taken safely from the ground can help the first conversation, but the final scope depends on a property assessment. Ask how hidden damage or decking repairs will be documented and priced if discovered during the work.
Coordinate existing or planned solar
If panels are already installed, agree on the removal and reset sequence before roofing begins. If solar is planned, discuss roof condition before finalizing the array. Looking at these decisions together helps you understand the responsibilities and the order of work for both systems.
Compare complete written scopes
Compare materials, tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, any repair allowances and warranty terms. Clarify what the quoted price includes and who coordinates permits and inspections. A useful proposal should let you compare responsibilities as well as the price at the bottom of the page.
Made for your property
A clear scope. From the start.
Here’s what we review when planning your roofing project.
Roof condition review
Discuss the condition, existing materials, and concerns that brought you here.
Material options
Explore shingle, metal, and tile options suited to your property and project scope.
Solar-aware sequencing
If panels are on the roof, plan removal and reinstallation before roofing begins.
Clear scope and closeout
Know what is included in the roofing scope and which project documents and warranty terms apply.
Before you decide
A few details worth knowing.
Should I replace my roof before adding solar?+
The age and condition of the roof matter. If replacement is approaching, reviewing the two projects together can avoid a second round of panel removal later.
Can you work on a roof with existing panels?+
Yes. We coordinate solar removal and reinstallation with the roofing work. Equipment and warranty requirements are reviewed as part of the scope.
What does a roofing estimate include?+
Ask for the selected materials, tear-off and disposal scope, underlayment, flashing, allowances for damaged decking, and warranty details in writing.
