Sachse Solar Panel Removal and Reinstallation for Roof Work

Sachse has a strong hail record. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 122 hail reports within 10 miles of the city from 2015 through 2024, 42 of them 1.75 inches or larger, with a record stone of 5.25 inches on April 11, 2016. A storm that damages the roof does not stop at the edge of the array, and shingles under and around the panels can be hit too.

Age plays a role as well. Half of the homes in Sachse were built before 2005 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). If panels went onto an original roof, that roof is now about 21 years old and may need replacing well before the panels are retired.

There is also the plain fact that the roof under an array is out of sight. Few owners look at it for years, and small problems like a cracked pipe boot or a loose flashing piece next to the panels can go unnoticed until water reaches the ceiling.

GemSco removes and reinstalls solar panels and does the roof work underneath, so the job is planned as one. We are family owned, licensed and insured, with 20+ years of experience, and estimates are free.

If a leak is active, call first and plan later. A temporary cover through emergency roof repair can protect the house while the removal and roof work are scheduled. After the job, keep the photos and notes with your solar records so you know when the mounts were last sealed and what was replaced under the panels.
