Roof Replacement Under Solar in Chicago Ridge, IL

Replacing a roof that carries solar is a project with dependencies. The array has to come off before tear-off. The roof has to be complete before the mounts go in. The mounts have to be flashed before the modules go back. Get the order wrong, or leave gaps between the steps, and the costs show up later as downtime, leaks or a system that never quite recovers. We plan the whole thing as a single coordinated project. On the first call we map the phases: documentation and shutdown, removal and storage, the roof replacement on an open deck, new mounts and flashing, reinstall and recommissioning. Each phase gets a date, and each date is tied to the one before it. You have one contact for the solar side and a roofing schedule built around it. That matters on Chicago Ridge homes, where low-pitch ranches and split-levels often carry long rows of modules that take real time to remove and reinstall correctly. The result you are after is straightforward: a new roof that stays dry at every attachment point and a solar system that is producing at its old level, delivered without you managing two trades.
