Roof claim under solar
Matteson Insurance Claim Detach and Reset With Real Documentation
A written, itemized scope and a photo record of your array, so the detach and reset part of the claim is described accurately.
Let's Be Clear About What We Do on a Claim
A storm damages your roof. The roof has solar on it. The roofer cannot replace the shingles until the panels are off, so getting them off and back on is part of the cost of the repair. That much is simple. Where homeowners get stuck is the paperwork. An adjuster needs to see what the solar work involves, and a single line that says solar removal does not tell them much. Solar Panel Removal Matteson writes the full scope. We inspect and photograph the array, the racking, the wiring and the roof around it, record the panel count and layout and price each part of the detach and reset on its own line. You or your roofer submit it with the claim. Now the realistic part. We are not public adjusters and we do not negotiate with your insurer. The claim is yours, and so are the decisions. Whether the insurer pays for the solar work comes down to the wording of your policy and to what the adjuster writes into the scope. Nobody honest can promise you an outcome. What we can promise is accurate, complete documentation of the work, and a crew ready to do it when the claim moves forward.

The Claim Path, Step by Step
Get it documented early
Call when you know the roof is going on a claim. We inspect, photograph and write the itemized scope, usually inside 48 hours.
Submit and wait for the adjuster
Our scope goes in with the claim, filed by you or the roofer. Questions from the adjuster about the solar portion get factual answers from us. The decisions stay between you and your insurer.
Do the work
When the roof job goes ahead, the array comes down into storage, the new roof goes on, and then the system is rehung, rewired and checked.
Why This Helps Your Claim
Specific beats vague
A line-by-line scope with pictures gives the adjuster something concrete to review.
No overpromising
We will never tell you the solar work is covered. That call belongs to your insurer.
Same crew, start to finish
The people who document the array are the people who take it down and put it back.
