Kearns Brothers | Roofing Services in Plymouth, MI 48170

While a solar system itself isn't a leak prevention method, a professional installation by Kearns Brothers is a crucial step. Our team conducts a detailed pre-installation roof inspection to ensure your structure is sound and leak-free. We then install mounting systems designed to seal penetrations completely. In many cases, addressing underlying wear during this process can actually help mitigate future leaks. It's a proactive approach that secures your roof's integrity before adding panels.

Moss growth is a common issue in Plymouth's climate and can be a significant concern for solar. Moss retains moisture against your shingles, accelerating decay and creating an uneven surface. For a safe and effective solar installation, the roof deck must be structurally sound and flat. We always recommend resolving moss issues and making any necessary repairs before proceeding with solar. Our team can professionally clean your roof and assess for damage, ensuring a solid foundation for your new energy system.

Repair the roof first, without question. Solar panels are a long-term investment, and they must be installed on a roof in excellent condition. Adding panels over a compromised roof would require their costly removal for future repairs. At Kearns Brothers, we start with a comprehensive leak diagnosis and repair to address the immediate issue. Once your roof is restored to its optimal condition, we can then discuss integrating a solar system to enhance your home's efficiency and value for years to come.
