Solar Panel Removal in Markham, IL, With Every Mount Re-Flashed
Hail and spring storms send plenty of Markham roofs into replacement with solar still on top. We lift the modules off, and when they return, each anchor gets fresh flashing so the new shingles stay dry.

Each mount, wherever it pierces the new shingles, is flashed again. All of them.
In step with your roofer
Modules off a little before the old shingles come up. Back soon after the last new one.
Pictures before anything moves
Wiring, layout and an output reading saved first, so nothing is left to memory.
Prices in plain language
A quote you can follow in one read, each part of the job named.
Making power at the finish
Wiring rejoined and output confirmed before the team heads home.
Solar Detach and Reset Help for Markham Homes
Replacing a roof with solar on it can feel tangled. Claim, roofer, modules, dates. Breathe. Below is the short list of what we take care of, so you can see where your situation fits.
Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation (Detach & Reset)
The heart of our work. Your solar is powered down, lifted off and kept safe, then set back on the new roof with new feet and fresh flashing at each anchor.
Insurance Claim Detach & Reset
Hail damage and solar in the middle of it. You get a line-item scope plus pictures to send along to your adjuster, and every choice on the claim remains with you.
Detach & Reset for Roofing Contractors
Roofing companies pass the solar to us so their crews meet open shingles. Off before the strip, back after, priced per module.
Roof Replacement Under Solar Panels
Shingles and solar handled as one plan. Lift off, reroof, reseal every anchor, set back. A single calendar, start to finish.
Solar Panel Critter Guard
A clipped mesh border around your solar that turns away pigeons and wind-blown leaves from settling underneath. No drilling into modules.
Six Unhurried Steps
We listen
Share the roof plan, the claim if one exists, the module count and whether the solar belongs to you or to a leasing company. With a lease, the agreement or the leasing company settles who may work on it, so check that first.
We look closely
Modules, mounts and wiring are photographed and an output reading is saved. That gives everyone a true picture of the setup and what it produced.
You hear the price and dates
A line-by-line figure reaches you by phone, usually within 48 hours. Dates are agreed with your roofer, and any permit or utility notice that applies gets started early.
The solar comes off
Power goes down safely and the wiring is disconnected. Modules, rails and conduit are lifted off, each module tagged and listed, then everything moves to safekeeping.
Fresh roof, fresh feet
Your roofer works on open shingles. Afterward, new feet go in at each anchor point and every one is flashed again, leaving water no way inside.
The solar comes home
Modules return to the very spots they left, wiring is rejoined and output is confirmed. Paperwork covering the whole job is yours to keep.
Why Markham Homeowners Rest Easy With Us
Nearly all the worry on these jobs boils down to two questions. Will the fresh roof leak around the solar? Will the roofer end up waiting? Here is how we answer both.
The roofing calendar leads
Lift-off is timed to the strip. The return is set for the moment new shingles are down. Your solar is dark for as brief a stretch as possible, and no roofing crew stands idle.
A true before-and-after
Pictures of the solar, its layout and its wiring, plus an output check, all saved ahead of lift-off. It goes back exactly the way it came down, and you can compare both for yourself.
Anchors sealed with care
Each anchor receives fresh flashing, sealed following the shingle maker's details. Your new roof is protected right where the solar touches it. That is the point of the whole job.
Markham and the Surrounding South Suburbs
Markham runs along I-57 in south Cook County, with 159th Street and Kedzie Avenue as its main roads and ranches and two-story homes spreading out on either side. It shares borders with Hazel Crest, Harvey, Oak Forest and Midlothian, and many homes across these towns put solar up years ago on roofs now ready for replacement. Alongside Markham, we help homeowners in Country Club Hills, Posen, Homewood, Robbins, Dixmoor and Flossmoor.
Ranch, bi-level or two-story
Every roof shape changes how modules are reached and staged. We plan the lift-off around your home, never a template.
Neighbors share roofing crews
Many roofers work these same towns, which makes lining our dates up with theirs easier.

Common Questions, Gently Answered
Unsure where to begin? These are the questions homeowners usually bring to us first.
My solar is leased or under a power purchase agreement. May I hire someone else to take it down?
That comes down to your paperwork. Look through the lease or agreement, or ring the leasing company, because many of them name who is allowed to handle the equipment. With that answer in hand, we shape the detach and reset around whatever it requires.
Will my homeowners policy pay for taking the solar down and putting it back during a roof claim?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on your policy and on what the adjuster includes, so nobody can promise it in advance. Our part is handing you a line-item solar scope and pictures that you or your roofer can include with the claim.
What decides the price of a detach and reset?
Module count, roof pitch and height, the way rails and conduit are run, and whether your town asks for a permit. Those differ so much from home to home that a single posted price would mislead you. Ring with your details and a firm figure reaches you by phone, usually within 48 hours.
Does my utility need to hear about this, and might I need renewed permission to operate?
Each utility sets its own rules, and the work matters too. Some ask for a notice when solar is disconnected and reconnected, and some may want an inspection or an updated approval. Where a utility notice applies, we raise it early so turning the system back on is not held up.
Is it truly necessary to take the solar off to replace my roof?
In almost every case, yes. Roofers cannot strip and replace shingles, underlayment or decking hidden beneath modules, and the old mounts need fresh flashing on the new roof. Lifting the solar off first is the only way to do the roof properly.
