Roof Replacement With Solar Panels in Austin

Roof Replacement With Solar Panels - Austin, Round Rock & San Antonio

A New Roof Under Your Solar Panels, Done Right

If your home has solar panels and the roof underneath needs replacing, the job takes more planning than a standard re-roof. The panels and racking have to come off, the roof has to be replaced from the deck up, and the system has to go back on new, properly flashed mounts.

We coordinate the whole job with an experienced solar team. They safely disconnect, remove, and reinstall your panels. We replace the roof, keep everyone on one schedule, and make sure the roof under your array is built to outlast the panels on top of it.

When a Solar Home Needs a New Roof

Solar panels are built to last 25 years or more, but the roof under them may not. If that roof fails while the panels are up, they have to come off anyway, often on short notice. Planning the roof and the panels together means you only pay for removal and reinstall once.

Replace the roof now when:

Hail or wind damaged the roof, including under or around the panels
The roof is more than halfway through its expected life
You see leaks or ceiling stains near panel mounts or wiring
You are planning to add solar to an older roof

Shortcuts that cause problems later:

Replacing the roof around the array and leaving old shingles underneath
Reusing old mounts or flashing on a brand-new roof
Sealing mounts with caulk instead of proper flashing
Moving panels without a qualified solar team

Not sure where your roof stands? We will inspect it for free, including the areas under and around your panels. Schedule a free roof inspection.

Choosing a Roof to Go Under Solar

Solar mounts work on most roof types, but some pair especially well with panels. We will help you weigh the options for your home, your budget, and your system.

Metal

Long-lasting and a strong match for solar. Some systems can attach to standing seam with clamps instead of drilling through the roof. Your solar team will confirm what works with your system.

Shingle

The most common roof under solar in Central Texas. Architectural and impact-resistant shingles work well with properly flashed mounts.

Tile and Slate

Solar on tile or slate is possible, but the mounts need specialized hardware and careful planning to avoid broken pieces and leaks.

Hail Damage, Insurance, and Solar Panels

Central Texas hail can damage the roof and the panels in the same storm. When it does, the claim usually involves more than shingles, and good documentation matters.

What we document

We inspect the roof slope by slope, including around the array, and photograph every hit. If panels are cracked or shattered, we photograph those too, so your insurer and your solar company have a clear record.

Removal and reinstall

When a roof is replaced for a covered loss, many policies include the cost to remove and reinstall the panels. It depends on your policy, and your adjuster makes the final decision. See how roof insurance claims work.

Damaged panels

Repairing or replacing damaged panels is solar work. We coordinate with the solar team so panel repairs and your new roof happen on one schedule, with no gaps where your home is exposed.

What Affects the Cost

Number of Panels

More panels and racking means more removal and reinstall work.

Roof Size and Pitch

Larger and steeper roofs take more material and more time.

Roofing Material

Shingle, metal, and tile each have different costs and mounting needs.

Deck Condition

Damaged decking found under the old roof is replaced before the new roof goes on.

Mounts and Flashing

New mounts and flashing are set into the new roof for your system.

Insurance Coverage

A covered loss may pay for some or all of the work, depending on your policy.

How a Roof Replacement With Solar Works

One plan and one schedule, from the first inspection to your system turning back on.

Inspect the Roof

We inspect the roof, including around the panels, and document any damage with photos.

Plan With the Solar Team

We line up the solar team, materials, and a schedule that keeps your system offline as briefly as practical.

Remove the Panels

The solar team safely shuts down, disconnects, and removes the panels and racking.

Replace the Roof

We tear off to the deck, replace damaged decking, and install the new roof, with Catch-All netting protecting your yard.

Reinstall and Reconnect

The solar team sets new flashed mounts, reinstalls the panels, and reconnects the system.

Eddy and his team at Texas Specialty Roofing were professional, responsive, and did an excellent job from start to finish. The quality of their work and attention to detail really stood out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable roofing company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, the field manager, Daisy, from TX Specialty Roofing kept us informed of our needs and our options. She provided clear photos using drones (both before and after). We had a major leak from the highest point of our roof and we have a VERY steep, high, and unusual tin roof and they were able to address the issues! Pricing was fair and the job was completed within the timelines given. Very professional approach!! Highly recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our field manager, Daisy Laguna, was exceptional! Excellent communication and updates provided throughout the entire project. Her team was able to identify other issues within my attic (HVAC leak). They took pictures and video for me to quickly have another professional repair the issue in a timely manner. Zero upselling...a rarity in today's market. Would HIGHLY recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a long overdue review for Texas Specialty Roofing. My name is Bernardo. I own a single-story home in a small development near the Leander CapMetro Rail station and the HEB Plus! SHOPPING plaza. My roof was damaged from the crazy May 2025 thunderstorms and hailstorms we had. I worked with Daisy Laguna.

From the very beginning, she was very professional and helpful. She walked me through the whole process. When my insurance initially refused to pay for the needed repairs, she helped me go through the public adjuster process. It took a few months, but when all was said and done, my insurance funded half of the costs. Daisy and Texas Specialty Roofing also helped me secure financing at a favorable rate of 0%.

The team came to my house early morning and worked efficiently, replacing my entire roof by the end of the afternoon. They also worked on repairing the inside ceiling that had been damaged by the water leaks on the same day, with a follow-up a few days later to get the job done.

I cannot say enough how much of a pleasure Daisy and Texas Specialty Roofing were to work with. I highly recommend her and the company. Although I wasn't too thrilled with the cost out of my own pocket, as it is often said, you get what you pay for. The 0% financing certainly was a lifesaver, for sure! This repair happened in November 2025.

I am looking forward to not having any issues or problems with the coming rainy season this Spring 2026, knowing that Texas Specialty Roofing installed a solid roof on my house.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The job your company did on our roof was flawless and totally satisfactory. Your installers left our property cleaner than it was on their arrival. The face of your company, Keith and Ridge, came across to us as competent and knowledgeable. Their presentations of your services were genuine and sincere as we later realized . Keith and Ridge are indeed significant assets to your company. It was a pleasure to have met them and thankful we selected your company to do our job. One additional item of interest  that occurred on January 17, 2026 was my home owner policy premium was reduced 40% for this year. Kieth and Ridge had informed me.that upgrading to a class 3 composition high impact roofing would reduce my premium. Indeed it did

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful for Eddy and everyone at this company. I live here in San Antonio, and I met Eddy while outside my home one day, and he was kind and helped me take my trash out. We began a conversation and I explained my roof was leaking. Eddy had a few young gentlemen come do an inspection, and found the leaking was due to the hail and wind damage. They were so helpful and professional. My roof was approved thank you so much. They upgraded me at no extra charge to a Class 3 impact roof and now I am paying less on my insurance premium payments. I am very thankful and I will only call this company to do my roof work and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional job.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing experience. After the big hail storm, they happened to be at my neighbors and came by (at his request), thank goodness! They laid out what they did, the materials, and how they had an insurance person who coordinated with our insurance company to make sure everything went seamlessly, which is usually a big headache. Daisy was our contact person, and she went above and beyond to make sure we knew about the whole process, fees, materials, and recommdations on how to apply insurance coverage on areas we didn't realize were damaged initially. If we had any questions or changes, they were all patient and kind to help make things happen. The work was done beautifully, and if we had any concerns they sent someone within 24 hours to go over or fix. They were very considerate of keeping materials and the area safe for my children and pets. I would definitely recommend them...highly.

Roof Replacement With Solar Panels: Common Questions

Do solar panels have to be removed to replace a roof?

Yes. To replace the roofing under an array, the panels and racking have to come off and go back on afterward. Roofing around the panels and leaving old shingles underneath is a common shortcut that leads to leaks later.

Who removes and reinstalls the solar panels?

We coordinate with an experienced solar team that safely disconnects, removes, and reinstalls the system. We handle the roof and the schedule, so you are not managing two contractors on your own.

How long will my solar system be off?

It depends on the size of the roof and the system, the weather, and the schedule. We plan the job so the system is offline as briefly as practical, and we will give you the timeline before work starts.

Should I replace my roof before installing solar panels?

If your roof is more than halfway through its expected life or has storm damage, it is usually smart to replace it first. Removing and reinstalling panels later adds cost, so starting with a new roof avoids paying for that twice.

Does insurance cover removing and reinstalling solar panels?

It often can when the roof is being replaced for a covered loss like hail, but it depends on your policy. We work with all insurance companies and document the damage with photos. Your policy and adjuster make the final decision. Learn how roof insurance claims work.

Will a new roof affect my solar warranty?

Your panel and installer warranties are separate from your roof warranty. Ask your solar company how removal and reinstall affect their coverage, and we will coordinate with them before work starts. Our workmanship warranty covers the roof we install: 10 years on shingle roofs and 25 years on metal. See our warranty.

Can you put a metal roof under solar panels?

Yes. Standing seam metal pairs well with solar because it lasts so long, and some systems can attach to the seams with clamps. Your solar team will confirm what works with your equipment. Learn about metal roofing.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing through our lending partner, Momnt. See financing options.
