    New Roof + Solar: How Bundling Can Save You Thousands

    If you're considering solar and your roof is aging, you're standing at a crossroads most homeowners don't see until it's too late.

    The question isn't just: "Should I go solar?"

    It's: "Should I do my roof and solar together… or am I about to pay for the same labor twice?"

    👉 Bundling a new roof and solar can save you thousands, reduce headaches, and future-proof your home for decades.


    The Real Reason Bundling Roof + Solar Saves Money

    The biggest savings is avoiding the most expensive mistake homeowners make:

    ❌ Installing solar… then replacing the roof later

    If your roof needs to be replaced after solar goes on, you're typically paying for:

    • Solar system removal
    • Solar system re-installation
    • Potential repairs to mounts, wiring, or flashing
    • A longer project timeline

    This is commonly called a "remove and reinstall" (R&R), and it can easily run $3,000–$10,000+.


    Bundling Roof + Solar = One Project, One Timeline, One Plan

    • ✅ One inspection
    • ✅ One install schedule
    • ✅ One crew handoff
    • ✅ One final inspection flow
    • ✅ One clean finished product

    That coordination alone can save you weeks of delays and thousands in hidden costs.


    When Bundling Roof + Solar Makes the Most Sense

    Bundling is especially smart if:

    • your roof is 15+ years old (asphalt shingle)
    • you've had leaks or multiple repairs
    • you see curling, cracked, or missing shingles
    • you're planning to stay in the home 5+ years
    • you want a "one and done" upgrade

    Final Thought: Do It Once, Do It Right

    Bundling a new roof and solar isn't just about saving money. It's about designing a home that's ready for the next 25 years without having to think about it again.
