Full Roof Replacement with Solar Detach and Reset in Central Texas

When a home has solar panels, a roof replacement gets more complicated fast. You can't just tear off the old roof and start nailing down shingles. The panels have to come off first - carefully - and they have to go back on correctly once the new roof is done. That's a job that requires two skill sets working together, and that's exactly what this Central Texas home needed.

We started with a full tear-off. Once the old material was stripped down to the decking, the crew got to work laying the underlayment across the entire roof system before any shingles went down. No shortcuts on the substrate - that's the foundation everything else depends on. Fresh decking where it was needed, solid underlayment across the board, then the new shingle system on top.

The solar side of this job is where a lot of contractors get it wrong. Panels pulled off without proper documentation, mounts not re-sealed correctly, wiring handled carelessly - any of those things can cause real problems down the road. We handle the detach and reset ourselves, which means there's no finger-pointing between a roofer and a separate solar company if something comes up later. One crew, one job, one point of accountability.

Once the new roof was complete and inspected, we reset the full solar array back to its original configuration. The panels are back in place, properly mounted and sealed to the new roofing system. The homeowner ends up with a roof that's built to last and a solar setup that keeps running without interruption. That's the goal on every job like this - long-term protection and energy efficiency working together, not against each other.
