Build time
One day
This Tampa homeowner needed a new roof, but several roofing companies gave estimates and would not touch the solar system on top of it. Protek handled both. A two-person solar crew removed the system first, the dumpster and materials were staged the day before the build, and crew lead Tito Cuero and his team tore off and replaced the roof in one day. The solar system was then reinstalled on the new roof, and the job was permitted and inspected through the City of Tampa. The homeowner posted a 5-star review the next day.
Solar removed first, roof replaced in a single day, solar reinstalled once the new roof was complete.
“My old roof had to be replaced and several roofing companies provided estimates but would not touch my solar system. Thank goodness for ProTek! They not only gave me a good estimate for the roof but also agreed to remove and reinstall the solar system. Service has been great starting with William who listened patiently to my concerns, answered all of my questions, and helped with the contract. Work began quickly with great 2 man crew removing the solar. Yesterday my beautiful new roof was installed by Tito and his exceptional crew! They did a wonderful job! I highly recommend ProTek*****”
