## Price

$450-$850 roofing square (100 sq ft) installed, plus separately-quoted panel removal/reinstall. Base roofing price matches standard architectural-shingle installed pricing (RESEARCH.md price bands). Panel removal, storage, and reinstall is quoted and billed by your solar installer directly — we do not have a published Boise-specific rate for that portion to cite, so we will not invent one; we coordinate the schedule, they price their own scope.

## What's included

- On-site inspection and a written per-square roofing price, scoped around your existing panel array
- Direct scheduling coordination with your solar installer so panels come off and go back on with our roofing timeline, not against it
- Full tear-off to the deck under the panel array, not just the sections left exposed
- Deck inspection and replacement of any rotten or delaminated sheathing under the array — often hidden until panels come off
- New flashing and re-sealing at every mounting-hardware penetration, not just the open field of the roof
- Ice-and-water shield and underlayment installed continuously under and around the array footprint
- Manufacturer-spec fastening matched to the roof's wind rating, including at panel mounting points
- Full site cleanup with a magnet sweep for dropped nails and haul-away of the old roofing

## Process

01. **Joint assessment with your solar installer** — We inspect the roof and talk directly with your solar installer (or one we can coordinate with) about panel count, mounting hardware, and what needs to come off before tear-off starts.
02. **Coordinated scheduling** — We build a schedule with the solar installer so panel removal, our roofing work, and panel reinstall happen in the right order without dead time between them.
03. **Tear-off and install** — Full tear-off to the deck across the whole roof, including under the removed array, with sheathing repaired and flashing replaced at every mounting point before new roofing goes down.
04. **Panel reinstall and final walkthrough** — Once the roof is finished, your solar installer reinstalls the array. We walk the finished roof with you and confirm every mounting-hardware penetration is properly flashed and sealed.

## FAQ

**Do you remove and reinstall the solar panels yourselves?**

No — panel removal and reinstall is handled by a licensed solar installer, either yours or one we coordinate with. We handle the roofing underneath; they handle the electrical disconnect, panel handling, and remounting. That split protects your solar system's warranty, which can be affected by non-licensed panel work.

**Will replacing my roof void my solar panel warranty?**

That depends on your specific panel manufacturer and installer agreement, so we will not guess at an answer that applies to every system. What we can do is coordinate the timeline and documentation your solar installer needs so the disconnect and reinstall are handled by licensed people, which is generally what warranty terms require.

**How much extra time does coordinating with a solar installer add?**

It depends on your solar installer's availability more than our roofing timeline — the roofing itself takes the same one to three days a standard replacement would. The main variable is scheduling both crews back-to-back, which we start coordinating as soon as you book the inspection.

**Can you just replace the roof sections not covered by panels and leave the rest?**

We do not recommend it. Roofing material ages as a system, and leaving an older section under the panels means you are likely paying to have panels removed again in a few years for a repair that could have been done now. We will walk through the trade-offs at the inspection rather than assume one answer fits your situation.

## Signs you need this

- Roof is aging out (20+ years) but already has a solar array installed
- Planning to add solar soon and want the roof replaced first so panels are not pulled twice
- Visible wear or granule loss on the roof sections around the panel array
- Leak or interior staining showing up near panel mounting points
