What Can We Take Off Your Hands in Homewood?
Is a reroof coming? Is there a claim? Is your roofing crew waiting? Or is it the pigeons? Each situation has a service, and most of them begin with a detach and reset.
Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation (Detach & Reset)
The array is isolated and unhooked, taken down with its rails and conduit, tagged and logged, and kept in storage through the reroof. Afterward it goes back up on replacement attachments with fresh flashing, is rewired and has its output verified, with a written record to finish.
Insurance Claim Detach & Reset
Suited to storm-damaged roofs under a claim. A priced, line-by-line solar scope plus photographs, filed with the claim by you or your roofer. The claim and its decisions stay with you; what the insurer pays is set by your policy and by how the adjuster scopes the job.
Detach & Reset for Roofing Contractors
For roofing companies. Book a reset by the panel. We take the array off ahead of your tear-off, keep in touch with your crew and reinstall after your install, so the deck is yours when you need it.
Roof Replacement Under Solar Panels
Reroofing a solar home, sequenced together with the removal and reinstallation. Each step is scheduled to hand off to the next, so the array returns to the new roof without idle weeks between.
Solar Panel Critter Guard
No-drill mesh attached along the array's outer border. Pigeons lose access to the space below and stops leaves and debris from collecting on the roof, with no drilling involved.
How Does a Booking Work?
Share the job
Panel count, address, roof type and the tear-off date. Owned or leased system. Any claim. Roofers can call directly; homeowners can too.
Receive the per-panel price
After an on-site review that captures the arrangement and wire runs on camera and logs an output figure, we confirm a price per panel by phone, usually within 48 hours.
Detach before the roofers arrive
Power is isolated first. Modules, rails and conduit are then removed, each item tagged and recorded, and everything goes into storage.
Reset after the new roof
Replacement attachments, each flashed into the new roofing. Modules returned to their recorded positions. Wiring restored, output verified and records issued.
Why Do Homewood Roofers and Homeowners Book With Us?
Because the details are handled before anyone has to ask about them. Here is what that means in practice.
NABCEP-certified solar work
The detach and reset is carried out by a NABCEP-certified solar crew, with a careful electrical shutdown and reconnection on every job, and your panels are insured while in our hands and in storage. Nothing is left to a roofing crew to improvise.
Claim-ready paperwork
Written estimates and photos that the homeowner or the roofer can include with a roof claim. The homeowner stays in control of the claim throughout.
A record of the system before removal
A photographic record of the modules, their arrangement and the wire runs, with a logged output figure. Reinstallation then matches the original, and results can be compared directly.
Labor and penetrations in writing
The scope of our labor and every roof penetration we make is set out in writing, with clear guidance on handling the equipment by the manufacturer's instructions.
Which Towns Around Homewood Do We Serve?
Homewood sits along I-80 in south Cook County, with the Tri-State and I-57 close by. That location makes it simple to reach the surrounding suburbs: Flossmoor and Olympia Fields to the west, Hazel Crest, Markham, Harvey and Country Club Hills to the north, South Holland to the northeast and Chicago Heights, Park Forest and Matteson to the south. Many homes across this area carry solar on roofs now due for replacement after many seasons of freeze, thaw and spring weather, and roofing companies in the area regularly need the panels off before they can begin.
One rate structure
Per-panel pricing applies the same way in every town we serve.
Built around the roofer
Detach and reset dates follow the roofing crew's schedule, wherever it is based.

What Do Homewood Customers Ask Before Booking?
Brief answers to the questions we hear most.
Should my first call go to the roofer, the insurer or a solar company?
If a storm caused the damage, open the claim with your insurer first, then bring in the roofer and us so the solar portion is documented with the rest. For a planned reroof, bring the roofer and our crew in together, which lets the removal be set ahead of tear-off. In both cases, involving the solar side early keeps the schedule intact.
Why would my system produce less after the panels go back up?
Before we leave, we compare the reinstalled array's output with the baseline logged on inspection day. Afterward, output naturally moves with weather, season and shade, and monitoring that has not reconnected to your network can make production look low. If anything about the reset itself seems off, call us and we will look at our work.
Can you remove the panels permanently and seal the roof?
No. We do detach and reset only, so an array removed by our crew is always reinstalled by our crew. For permanent removal, a company that offers that service is the right call.
Is a leased or power purchase agreement system something you can remove?
Often, yes, once the leasing company is on board. Most lease and PPA agreements say who may remove the equipment and what notice is required. Review your agreement, contact the leasing company, and share their requirements with us so the detach is planned around them.
Do you handle solar on tile roofs?
No. Tile and slate are not roof types we service. If your array is on tile, please mention it on the first call so you can find the right specialist quickly.
What is critter guard, and does my array need it?
It is a wire mesh clipped to the module frames along the outer border, closing off the cavity under the array to birds and debris. If you see droppings, nesting material or birds going under the panels, it is worth adding. Installing it during a reset is most efficient, since the modules are off the roof at that point anyway.
What if a panel turns out to be damaged during removal?
Each panel is inspected as it comes off. If one shows damage or a fault, we stop, photograph it and tell you before going further. That way you can decide how to proceed with the equipment maker or your insurer before the reset.
Does someone need to be home during the detach and reset?
Not for the whole visit. We do need access to the roof and to the electrical equipment where the system shuts off, so an adult should be available at the start of the detach and at the end of the reset. We review the final test with you before we leave.
Could my roofer simply remove the panels instead?
Some roofers do, but the shutdown, disconnection and reconnection are electrical work, and the panels need careful handling and labeling to go back correctly. That is why many roofing companies book us for the solar portion and keep their crews on the roof.
Who Handles the Solar While the Roof Is Replaced?
Solar Panel Removal Homewood does. We focus on one kind of work: taking arrays off for roof projects and putting them back correctly. Roofers book us by the panel, homeowners call us before the reroof, and everyone gets the same documented, tested result.
