Full Roof Replacement with Solar Integration in Hollywood

This is a full tear-off and replacement on a single-family home in Hollywood. The old roof was gone, new underlayment went down, and a fresh layer of charcoal grey architectural shingles went on top. Clean lines, tight ridge work, and proper flashing around every penetration.

What makes this one a little more involved is the solar array. When panels are already on the roof, a replacement isn't as simple as stripping and re-shingling. The panels have to come off, the roof gets done right underneath, and then everything goes back up correctly. Skip any of those steps and you're looking at leaks, voided warranties, or both.

Hollywood homes deal with a lot of sun exposure. That's actually one of the reasons getting the roofing system right underneath the panels matters so much. If the shingles and underlayment aren't installed to manufacturer spec, you're setting yourself up for moisture problems down the road, problems that are a lot harder to diagnose once solar is back in place.

The skylights and vents visible across this roof were all properly flashed and re-integrated during the process. That's the kind of detail work that separates a quality installation from one that looks fine until the first heavy rain. Every penetration is a potential entry point for water. We don't skip those.

Work like this is what we do in and around the Los Angeles area every week. Multi-pitch roofs, solar coordination, skylight flashing it's all part of the job. The finished product should look great and hold up for decades, and that's exactly what this one is set up to do.
