Need a new roof... But already have solar panels?
If your roof needs work, your solar panels have to come off first — and most roofing companies won’t touch them. But we do.

Solar Removal → Reroof → Reinstallation
You’re not the first homeowner to face this. We’ve completed thousands of roof replacements for solar homes — safely removing panels, installing a brand-new roof with Global Roofing, and putting your solar right back in place — with your warranty fully intact.
Our Process
We've Done This Thousands of Times — Literally.
Since day one, we’ve partnered with Global Roofing to help homeowners replace their roofs when solar. Together, we’ve completed over 3,000 projects, refining a process that makes the whole thing seamless: remove the panels, replace the roof, reinstall the solar.
Solar Panel Removal
Our solar team handles the removal — carefully taking down every panel, wire, and bracket. Everything is stored safely and ready to go back up without a hitch.
Roof Replacement
With the solar out of the way, Global Roofing installs your brand-new roof. They’ve been our trusted partner since the beginning, and their workmanship and materials are built to last — backed by strong warranties.
Solar Panel Reinstallation
Once the roof is complete, we reinstall and reconnect your solar panels. Everything is tested and verified so your system is back online, producing power, and protected by your warranty.

Need the Entire Roof? Or Just a Section?
Not every roof with solar needs a full replacement. Sometimes the rest of the roof is in great shape — and the area under your panels just needs attention. That’s where most roofers walk away. We don’t. Whether it’s replacing the entire roof or just redoing the section beneath your panels, we’ll do the work the right way — so your home is protected and your solar goes right back where it belongs.
We Care About Things Other Roofers Don't Think About
We Match Your Shingle Color
Your new roof shouldn’t look patched together. We match shingles to your existing roof and solar panels so everything blends cleanly.
Partial Replacement vs Patching
Quick patches don’t last. We do full slope or section replacements where needed — solid, long-term solutions, not band-aids.
Protecting Your Warranty
Every step is done with your solar warranties in mind — so replacing your roof doesn’t cost you coverage.
Minimal Downtime
We get your roof replaced and solar panels back up and running in a day or 2. A simple, seamless project. So you can get back to saving money on your energy.

Your Solar Can Too.
If Your Energy Use Has Grown, Your Solar Can Too.
When you first went solar, your system was designed around your needs at the time. But life changes — maybe you bought an EV, installed a heat pump, or your family simply uses more power than before. If your system isn’t keeping up, we can add additional panels during your roof replacement.
