When you hire an experienced solar installation company, the last thing you have to worry about is damage to your roof. In fact, an experienced and licensed solar provider will typically assess the condition of your roof and ensure that everything is up to standard before the installation of your solar panel investment begins.
Build A Roof That Lasts
Longevity and durability in a roof are what matters the most. Your roof should stand up to the elements of your environment. There are a number of weekend roofing companies out there, that promise low prices, but don’t hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to quality. A quality roof installation includes:
Leak Barriers
Starter Strip Shingles
Roof Deck Protection
Lifetime Shingles
Attic Ventilation
Ridge Cap Shingles
These items are the most current standards and comply with manufacturer specifications to ensure warranty coverage, and believe us, you want that warranty coverage!
Why A Good Roofing Method Matters
A roof can be your biggest nightmare, or that thing above your head that you never think about. Most of us prefer the latter. Modern installation techniques have ensured that you’ll have a properly ventilated roof that will offer you total leak prevention and protection. Leaks? What leaks?! If you are considering solar energy, and want to make sure your roof is built to last, look for a solar provider that offers licensed roofing services as well.
What To Look For In A Roofing Company
When vetting your solar provider or roofing company, you want to check the licenses and certifications that company obtains. For warranties that last you 30 to 50 years, you need to be sure that your manufacturer is going to be around. Simply Solar’s roofing division, Rockin’ Roofers, works with GAF. Why GAF? They have been around since 1886 and offer industry leading products built to last for decades to come. GAF roofing products are meticulously tested to ensure toughness, granule adhesion, wind uplift resistance, flexibility, and fire resistant. If their roofing products can handle all that, it is no wonder they also make the best foundation for solar panels.
What Causes A Roofing Warranty To Not Stand
When you are looking for the right roofer it is important to choose one that has an air-tight warranty. It is essential to a top quality roofing job. In today’s industry, things that can quickly cause your warranty not to hold are: using staples instead of nails, no ridge vent, no roofing license, and incomplete warranty paperwork.
Solar And Roofing Installation Combination
When a solar consultant comes to your home to do a site inspection, it should be a no brainer that they check your roof quality before recommending a solar array. A good question to ask your potential solar installer is: Is my roof quality right for solar in its current state? From here you started the conversation, and the right provider will have the answers.
