Solar Roofing at a Glance

Solar roofing combines a home’s roofing system with solar technology to generate electricity from sunlight. We help homeowners evaluate roof condition, solar potential, system options, and installation requirements before moving forward.

  • Solar Panels: Traditional photovoltaic panels designed for a range of roof types and system configurations.
  • Solar Shingles: Roof-integrated solar products that combine roofing and energy generation in a lower-profile design.
  • Battery Backup: Optional energy storage that can provide backup power for selected loads during outages, depending on system design.
  • Roof + Solar Assessment: We review roof condition, shading, layout, and project goals before recommending an approach.

Benefits of Solar Roofing

  • Use Available Roof Space: Solar panels can use suitable roof areas to generate electricity without requiring separate ground space.
  • Combine Roofing & Solar Planning: Evaluating the roof and solar system together can help homeowners coordinate roof condition, layout, installation, and project timing.
  • Energy Production: A properly designed photovoltaic system can generate electricity from available sunlight, with production varying based on system size, orientation, shading, weather, and other factors.
  • Optional Battery Storage: Battery storage can help homeowners store electricity for later use and provide backup power for selected circuits when properly configured.
  • Integrated Solar Aesthetic: Solar shingles can provide a lower-profile appearance by integrating energy-generating components into the roof surface.

Common Solar Roofing Challenges We Help Address

Going solar involves more than choosing panels. Roof condition, shading, layout, electrical requirements, permitting, and utility coordination can all affect the project.

  • Aging Roof Before Solar: We evaluate whether the existing roof is suitable for solar or whether roof work should be considered first.
  • Limited Roof Space: We review the available roof area and layout to determine what solar configuration may work best.
  • Shading Concerns: We assess shading conditions to help homeowners understand how they may affect potential solar production.
  • Choosing Between Panels & Solar Shingles: We explain the practical differences between traditional solar panels and integrated solar shingle systems.
  • Battery Backup Questions: We help homeowners understand whether battery storage makes sense for their goals and which loads may be supported.

Our Solar Roofing Services

  • Solar Panel Installation: We plan and install photovoltaic panel systems based on roof condition, available space, shading, energy usage, and project requirements.
  • Solar Shingle Installation: Solar shingles integrate energy-generating technology into a roofing surface for homeowners seeking a lower-profile solar appearance.
  • Solar Roof Assessment: We review the existing roof, available roof area, shading, and project goals before determining the appropriate next step.
  • Roof Replacement Before Solar: When a roof is approaching the end of its service life, we can evaluate whether replacement should be completed before installing solar.
  • Battery Backup: Add compatible energy storage to support selected loads during outages, based on system design and equipment specifications.
  • Solar Project Coordination: We help coordinate design, permitting, utility steps, installation, and system handoff.

Jake Fairbanks from Ideal Roof &Exteriors Pros came out to help evaluate my roof and fix some flashing that had come loose. He was terrific and knowledgeable, straight forward and local! It seemed so old fashioned to get someone who knew what they were doing, were local, focus on what I actually needed, and not just trying to sell me something. I was glad to learn he does exterior repair and painting since I need help there, too, and know it will be straight up just what's needed and exceptionally well done. Highly recommend.

We selected Ideal for some minor repairs to the exterior of our house, siding and fascia, and they did a great job. We had selected Ideal to repair our roof after a major hail storm a few years back, where they also did a great job, so we felt confident to go with them again.

We had such a great experience with Ideal Roofing & Exterior Pros from start to finish! We hired them to paint our house, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and honestly just a pleasure. Miguel and his daughter did an amazing job with all of the prep and painting. They power washed the house, repaired some old beams, caulked, primed, painted, and finished everything with detailed touch-ups. The attention to detail really made a difference, and our house looks like a completely new home! Aaron was a fantastic project manager and kept everything moving smoothly. The owner Jake checked in with us regularly throughout the entire project, which gave us a lot of confidence that everything was being handled properly. Even the initial estimate was easy and completely low-pressure. Christina, their front-of-house contact, was also wonderful. She provided us with a very detailed estimate and stayed in communication with us throughout the process, helping with paint selections, scheduling, and payment. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, responsive, and professional. From the first estimate to the final touch-up, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We absolutely love our new house and would highly recommend Ideal Roofing & Exterior Pros!

I had an excellent experience with Jake and his crew. Everyone was professional, honest, transparent and I was not pressured as I had been in the past. The crew went to great lengths to be respectful of my property and dogs and keeps everything nice and clean. They were easy to get ahold of and collaborate with throughout the process. I’ve had multiple neighbors stop by to ask for their info because of their excellent work on my exterior paint job.

We had Jake and his team out for a complete re-roof, with all of our decking removed and replaced. Turns out, we had insufficient venting that made our old decking begin to delaminate from the inside. We felt confident in the way Jake did things to remedy this and get all of the venting improved and working properly. Jake and his project manager, Aaron, couldn't have been better. Jake was honest, thoughtful and very supportive throughout the process, from the sales conversations all the way to final close out. Jake answered all of our questions and communicated clearly and fairly throughout the process. We were also compeltely replaced our insulation throughout the roof, in parts inaccessible via interior attic, and they supported us in doing our own scope in the middle of theirs. We are so glad we went with them and that we were comfortable throughout the process. We loved working with Aaron and were very glad to have him on site throughout the day and a half project. We had a few small damage items post-repair and we feel that Aaron and Jake went above and beyond to solve those. Since doing the roof and the new insulation, our homeowner's insurance decreased by 34% and we don't have to turn our AC on until the end of the day! We are thrilled and contemplating getting our poor-gutter design revamped by them next. We absolutely recommend Ideal for any of your exterior needs and they will be our first call on our next house.

We had a small repair project on our roof which we worried we wouldn't find someone to do. Jacob was communicative, showed up on time, and did a great job! I would definitely hire him for a bigger job and refer him to friends and family!
