New Roof? Make It Solar-Ready.

Solar installers require 5-10 years of roof life remaining before they'll install panels. Get your roof done right the first time — and save thousands by bundling with solar.

Why You Should Roof First, Then Solar

🚨

Avoid Costly Reinstalls

If your roof needs replacing in a few years, you'll pay $3,000-$5,000 to remove and reinstall your solar panels. Getting the roof done first eliminates this entirely.

✓

Solar Requires 5-10 Years

Every reputable solar installer will inspect your roof before installation. If your roof has less than 5-10 years of life left, they won't install panels.

Roofing FAQ

How do I know if my roof needs replacing before solar?+
If your roof is 15+ years old (asphalt shingles) or has visible damage, it likely needs attention before solar. Our free assessment will give you a definitive answer.
Can I use insurance to pay for my new roof?+
Yes. If your roof has storm damage, your homeowner's insurance may cover replacement. We work with all major carriers and can assist with the claims process.
How much does a solar-ready roof cost?+
A typical roof replacement in Illinois runs $8,000-$15,000 depending on size and materials. Solar-ready preparation adds minimal cost ($200-$500) but saves thousands later.
What if I already have solar panels and need a new roof?+
We handle panel removal, roof replacement, and reinstallation as one coordinated project. This typically costs $3,000-$5,000 for the panel work plus the roof itself.
What roofing materials work best with solar?+
Asphalt shingles (30-50 year) and standing seam metal roofs are ideal for solar mounting. We'll recommend the best option for your budget and solar goals.
