The roof is your building’s primary waterproofing protection from the elements and can be designed to control energy costs.  The roof is often used as a platform for photovoltaic installations, so it is critical that the design and installation is performed by experienced installers within the roofing industry.

If you are installing additional products (i.e. Solar or Daylighting) on your roof, protecting the roofing investment means choosing Firestone quality roofing and solar products, along with a Firestone installation professional to assure the system owner of single-source coverage.

The Importance of a Roofing Professional

Roof problems occur when non-roofing contractors install or repair roof-mounted equipment.  Expertise to protect against roof foot traffic, roof access procedures and rooftop conduct do matter.

Trusting in the Alterations Made to Your Roof

Commercial solar systems can require hundreds of roof penetrations, roof flashing and preparation, therefore it’s important to have the knowledge and expertise of which materials and details will provide for quality flashing and sealing of various types of roof systems.  Most well-intentioned solar installers don’t have the expertise and experience, which can lead to premature roof failure.

Receiving a Warranty or Protecting an Existing Warranty

Roof warranties can be voided if solar systems are installed without a certified and authorized roofing company.
