Roofing and solar-ready work
One inspection looks at the roof and the solar side together. One permit. One dated sheet with every warranty start. Reno, Sparks and the Truckee Meadows.

One job, one calendar
Roof and panels run as one project with one point of contact.
We walk the ground, the roof, the attic and the array in one visit: shingle age, deck, ventilation, mount points and wiring runs. You keep one set of photos.
We file the roof permit with the city or county, with the mount layout attached. If the array has to be disconnected, your solar company's electrician files that part, and both dates go on one calendar.
Tear-off, deck check, underlayment, edge metal and shingles. Most homes this size take one to three days. Bad deck is priced by the sheet, in writing, before we start.
New mounts go in flashed and laid out with your solar company. If panels are already up, they come off and go back on the new roof, and every mount is flashed again.
The inspector looks at the roof. We walk the finished roof with you and photograph every flashing.
When our workmanship warranty starts, when the manufacturer's warranty is registered, and the dates your solar company's own terms begin, all on one page.
Three common jobs
For a one-story home with about 24 squares of asphalt roof and one layer to remove.
Tear-off to ridge cap, with crew labor and the permit.
The roof plus flashed mounting blocks, laid out with your solar company.
The roof plus 14 panels detached and reset on it.
Example only. Your estimate lists every line and the home size it is based on. Decking is billed per sheet at the price written in it, and only for sheets replaced. The electrician's disconnect and reconnect of panels is billed by your solar company.
Why the roof comes first
Taking panels off a worn roof later means paying for a detach and reset twice. If your roof has under about ten years left, replace it before the array goes up.
The roof's age and remaining life, in writing
Mounting points marked before the shingles go down
Attic ventilation checked, since heat shortens a roof's life

Sample photos.
The crew
The same four people handle your inspection, permit, roof days and paperwork.
Owner and estimator
Walks every roof before writing the estimate, from the ground to the attic.
Crew foreman
Runs the tear-off and the roof days. Speaks Spanish with the crew and with homeowners.

Files the roof permit and sets the dates with your solar company.
Inspector
Does the attic and roof inspection and writes the photo report.
Homeowners
“The estimate had the deck price per sheet written down, and the crew stuck to it. They moved our panels and put them back the same week.”
“One person handled the permit and called our solar company about the dates. We did not have to carry messages between them.”
“They checked the attic before saying anything about the shingles. The photos made the repair-or-replace choice easy.”
“Paolo explained the work to my mother in Spanish and she understood every step of it.”

Questions
Architectural asphalt shingles are commonly rated for 25 to 30 years. Strong sun, big temperature swings and winter freeze and thaw can shorten that. Your estimate states the expected life of the product on your roof.
If the roof has under about ten years left, many roofers advise replacing it first, so the panels do not have to come off again. We write the roof's remaining life in the inspection report so you can decide.
No. The panels and racking come off, the roof is replaced, and the mounts are flashed again before the panels go back. Your solar company's electrician disconnects and reconnects the array.
Two parts. The manufacturer's material warranty covers the product, and our workmanship warranty covers our installation. The terms of each, and who registers it, are written on your warranty sheet.
Homes near brush or open land can ask for fire-rated roofing and ember-resistant vents. Fire rules differ by county and neighborhood, so your estimate lists the fire rating of each product on it.
No. You decide whether to file, you deal with your insurer, and your deductible stays yours. We inspect, photograph and write an itemized estimate you can share with your insurer. If you ask, we can meet your adjuster at the house.
