If you’re looking to reduce your energy bills, as well as your carbon footprint, solar panels are a fantastic way to go. The team at Tory’s Roofing & Waterproofing in Pearl City, HI, strongly recommends installing a new roof before you purchase solar panels in addition to utilizing their services after panel installation. The premier roofing contractor proudly serves Oahu and routinely works with solar panel installers. Working with your local roofing contractor before and after the solar panel installation is best. 

Re-Roofing After Solar Panel Installation Is an Expensive, Time-Consuming Hassle

Getting your roof replaced after solar panels are installed is extremely expensive. You will not only have to pay for roofing services, but you’ll have to cover the costs of removing and reinstalling the panels. Instead of facing an exorbitantly high final bill, schedule an inspection and replacement (if necessary) with your Pearl City contractor; you will save a considerable amount of money and time. Roofing is often a noisy business, so anything you can do to cut service time helps your schedule and makes neighbor complaints far less likely.

It Fixes Panel-Related Penetrations

Solar companies often melt down metal brackets on roof systems and drill into said systems to make panel installation easier. This creates penetrations that leave your home vulnerable to drips and leaks. The friendly team at Tory’s Roofing & Waterproofing suggests letting them know you’re getting panels installed, so they can coordinate with the solar installers and fix the penetrations once the installation is complete. Leaks not only damage your roof and walls, but they also create environments for mold and mildew to flourish.

Ensure your roof is in top condition before investing in solar power, and get it checked once you’re enjoying this free energy source.
