This roof in Monroeville, NJ required more than just a surface upgrade. After removing the existing shingles, we discovered sections of damp, compromised plywood that had begun to rot. To ensure a solid foundation, we replaced the affected decking with new, dry plywood before installing the new roofing system.
A sturdy, moisture-free roof is essential, especially before adding solar panels. Solar systems add weight and are designed to last decades, so they need to be mounted on a structurally sound surface. Any existing moisture or rot can weaken the roof over time, leading to costly repairs, potential panel removal, and even interior damage. By starting with a strong, dry foundation, the homeowner can move forward with solar installation confidently, knowing their roof is built to support it for the long term.
