Why is roof prep important before going solar?
Panels last 25+ years — your roof must match that lifespan. Any issues will require full removal and reinstall if left unresolved.
Aging or damaged roofs create risk for future leaks. Solar panels make access harder, so roof replacement before installation is often recommended.
Proper slope and orientation help panels work better. Our team reviews structure and layout for shading or pitch issues.
In Hiawassee and Watkinsville, roofs face high heat and storms. We verify systems can handle panel loads in all weather.
Professional prep avoids voiding warranties and reduces panel installer liability.

What roofs are ready for solar?
Newer roofs with proper ventilation and slope are ideal. We recommend prep for homes using asphalt shingles or metal panels.
Flat commercial roofs may need TPO installation or strengthening to hold ballast mounts.
Older roofs in Hiawassee with slope or deck damage need work before panels. We perform inspections and provide full reports with repair options.
Proper drainage and sealed flashing are key to system life. Gutter blockages can affect roof maintenance plans and lead to long-term issues.
We help homeowners determine if prep or replacement makes more sense before committing to solar.
