Evans sits in the same hail corridor as Greeley, and plenty of local roofs are already on their second replacement. When yours comes due, we handle the solar side so your roofer can handle the rest.
If you own a home in Evans, you know how this story goes. A storm rolls off the Front Range, drops hail across Weld County, and suddenly every roofer in northern Colorado is knocking on doors. A lot of houses between 37th Street and the South Platte have been reroofed once in the last decade already. The difference this time is the solar array that went up on your roof since then.
Greeley Solar Reset detaches your panels, stores them safely, and resets them once the new shingles are down. We're based just up the road in Greeley, so we can coordinate directly with your roofer and keep the whole job on schedule. Call (970) 286-3417 or ask for a free written estimate, and we'll get you a real number before your tear-off date.
We remove your panels before the tear-off and reinstall them after the new roof goes on, with fresh flashing and sealed penetrations. Most Evans homes take one visit on each end of the reroof.
Permanent removal for arrays that are hail-damaged, past their useful life, or part of a system you're not keeping. We disconnect, remove, and haul off the hardware safely.
Panel-level checks after a storm, with photos and documentation your adjuster can actually use. Microcracks and cracked backsheets don't always show from the ground.
Storm callouts any hour for panels that are loose, arcing, or leaking at the mounts. Evans is only minutes from our Greeley crew, so response times stay short.
Evans sits directly south of Greeley along US 85, which puts it squarely in the same hail corridor that hammers the rest of Weld County. Most of the housing stock here went up between the 1970s and the 2000s, and a big share of those roofs have already been replaced once after a hail claim in the last ten years. Ask around your street and you'll probably find a neighbor who's had two roofs in fifteen years.
What's changed since the last round of reroofs is solar. Thousands of northern Colorado homes added panels in the last decade, and Evans got its share. So the next time hail totals a roof, there's a new step in the middle of the job: someone has to detach the array, protect it, and reset it after the roofer finishes. That's the part we do.
Roofers in this area generally won't touch the panels themselves, and most solar installers are booked out on new installs. That gap is exactly where a lot of Evans reroofs stall. We exist to close it, and because we're local, we can usually slot in around your roofer's schedule instead of the other way around.
It starts with a free written estimate. Tell us your panel count, your roofer's rough timeline, and whether this is an insurance job, and we'll price it out. Typical Evans homes are single-story ranches or two-story houses with asphalt shingle roofs, which is the most straightforward setup for this work. If you want ballpark figures first, our removal and reinstall cost guide breaks down what drives the price.
On detach day we shut the system down properly, label the wiring, unbolt the panels and racking, and stage everything safely on site or in storage. Your roofer then has a clean deck to work with, no panels in the way and no finger-pointing if a shingle gets scuffed. When the new roof is done, we come back, mount the racking with new flashing at every penetration, reset the panels, and recommission the system.
Before we leave, we verify the array is producing the way it should and walk you through what we found. If any panels took hail damage while they were up there, we document it so it can go into your claim instead of getting buried under new shingles.
Here's the good news most Evans homeowners don't hear up front: solar detach and reset is a standard line item on a hail claim. If the storm damaged your roof and the panels have to come off for the replacement, that labor belongs in the scope. Adjusters handle it all the time, but it does sometimes get left off the first version of the paperwork.
That's usually not a fight, it's a supplement. We give you a written estimate you can hand to your adjuster or your roofer's supplement team, itemized the way carriers expect to see it. If the panels themselves took hits, that's a separate piece of the claim, and our hail damage inspection gives you the photos and documentation to back it up.
You don't need to become an insurance expert to get this done right. You need the detach and reset priced in writing, the damage documented before tear-off, and a crew that shows up when the roofer needs the deck clear. We handle all three, and if a storm leaves your array in bad shape tonight, our 24/7 emergency line picks up.
For most Evans homes it lands in the low thousands, and the biggest factors are panel count, roof height, and how far apart the detach and reset dates are. A one-story ranch with a modest array costs less than a two-story home with a large system. We give you a free written estimate up front so there's a firm number for you and your insurance file, not a guess.
If hail damage is driving the roof replacement, detach and reset labor is normally a covered line item in the scope. Sometimes the first scope misses it, and it gets added through a supplement. We provide the itemized written estimate your adjuster needs to approve it.
Usually just the length of the roofing job itself, which for most Evans houses is a few days. We detach right before tear-off and come back to reset as soon as your roofer wraps up and the roof passes inspection. You lose a little production for that window, but a tight schedule keeps it short.
Not in a bad way, and it's a common situation here since so many local roofs were replaced in the last decade. If your panels went on after that first reroof, this will be their first detach and reset, and we'll inspect the racking and mounts closely since they've now been through storms too. Each hail claim is its own event, so a prior roof replacement doesn't block coverage for this one.
