One crew. One contract. No finger-pointing between your roofer and your solar company.
Quick Answer
If you're replacing your roof and have solar panels, Best Crew handles both in one contract — panel removal, roof replacement, panel reinstallation, and system testing. No need to coordinate two contractors. Most systems are back online the same day the roof is complete.
You need a new roof. You get a few quotes, pick a roofer you trust, and then — reality hits. Your solar company can't touch your roof. Your roofer can't touch your panels. Suddenly, a straightforward roofing job becomes a multi-party coordination problem nobody warned you about.
Now you have to hire two separate companies, sync two completely different schedules, and hope they don't point fingers at each other if anything goes wrong. Because when something does go wrong — and in that scenario, something usually does — no one takes ownership.
Solar companies often refuse to work alongside outside roofers. Roofing contractors often won't go near panels they didn't install. Meanwhile, your roof is waiting, your warranty clock is ticking, and no one is taking ownership of the full scope.
We've seen homeowners wait months trying to coordinate this. We've seen panels reinstalled incorrectly after roof work. We've seen finger-pointing turn a simple project into a damage claim. We've seen warranties voided because an uncertified crew rushed the removal.
When your roofer and solar company don't talk, nothing is anyone's fault. Every problem gets passed back and forth. You're stuck in the middle paying for delays and disputes.
Waiting for two company schedules to align can stretch a 2-day project to 2 months. Each company has their own backlog, weather windows, and crew availability — and they don't coordinate.
Improper panel handling by a non-certified crew can void your solar warranty. Most roofing contractors aren't trained in panel disconnect procedures — and they won't tell you that upfront.
Best Crew handles the entire scope: we remove your panels carefully and correctly, replace or repair your roof, and reinstall every panel exactly where it was — tested and operational.
You sign one contract. You talk to one person. Angel coordinates everything. No handoffs. No gaps. No excuses.
Our team is trained in proper panel disconnect, removal, storage, and reinstallation procedures. Your panels are treated as the expensive equipment they are.
Whether you need a full replacement or targeted repair, your roof gets properly addressed with your panels safely off and your home fully protected during the process.
After reinstall, we test every panel to confirm full output and no damage. We don't sign off until your system is back to exactly where it was before — or better.
One contractor on the hook for the entire project. Roof work and panel R&R under one agreement. That's how it should be, and that's how we do it.
Five steps. One crew. Start to finish.
We inspect both your roof and your existing solar system — panels, racking, wiring, and all penetration points. You get a clear scope before anything starts.
Panels are carefully disconnected, photographed, labeled, and stored safely. Every connection is documented before removal so reinstall is precise.
Full replacement or targeted repair performed with your roof fully exposed. No rushing, no shortcuts — your panels are safely stored while the roof gets done right.
Panels reinstalled to their original layout. Every connection tested. Racking secured to the new roof surface with proper flashing and sealing.
Full output test confirms your system is performing correctly. We don't leave until everything checks out — your roof is sealed and your solar is producing.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
Homeowners with solar panels who need a roof replacement or repair — and don't want to manage two separate contractors to get it done.
Homeowners whose original solar installer is no longer in business and can't perform a removal — leaving them stuck with a roof they can't touch.
Property managers with solar-equipped commercial properties who need roof work handled efficiently, without coordinating multiple vendors and schedules.
Anyone who's been told by their roofer: "We can't touch those panels." We can — and we handle everything else too.
I spent three months trying to get my roofer and solar company to coordinate. Finally called Best Crew. They handled everything start to finish — pulled the panels, replaced the roof, put them back. Tested everything. No issues.
Answers to what homeowners ask us most about solar panel removal and reinstallation.
We follow certified removal procedures designed to protect your manufacturer and installer warranty. We also document the condition of every panel before and after removal with photographs. If a panel is already showing a pre-existing issue, we'll flag it before we touch it — so there's no ambiguity about what happened when.
We work with all major panel brands and racking systems — including SolarEdge, Enphase, SunPower, LG, Canadian Solar, and standard flush-mount setups. If you have an unusual or older system, we'll let you know upfront what we're dealing with during the free assessment, so there are no surprises during the project.
Removal typically takes a half day. Roof work varies depending on size and scope — a standard residential replacement runs 1–2 days. Reinstallation is typically a full day. Most solar R&R projects are completed within 2–4 days total, start to finish. We'll give you a firm timeline during your free assessment.
We carry full liability insurance and document the condition of every panel before removal. If a panel is damaged while in our care, that's our responsibility — period. That's one of the core benefits of having a single contractor handle the full scope: there's no finger-pointing, no insurance disputes between two companies. We own the outcome.
One call to Best Crew is all it takes. We handle the panels, the roof, and everything in between — so you don't have to manage a single thing.
