Local FAQs

  • Install time: 1-3 days; utility turn-on follows inspection.
  • Winter: arrays operate on cloudy days; snow typically releases with sun and tilt.
  • Battery-ready: designs include space and wiring for future storage.

Installation Process

  1. On-site evaluation: rafters, decking, shading, azimuth.
  2. Design & equipment: Tier-1 modules with microinverters or string + DC optimizers.
  3. Permitting: city filings and NEC-compliant electrical plans.
  4. Build day: weather-sealed mounts, torque checks, and code-accurate wiring.
  5. Inspection & Permission to Operate: pass inspection and enable export.

Why Go Solar in Plainfield?

Homes around residential blocks, winter shade pockets, local parks and schools, tree-lined avenues benefit when tilt, spacing, and shade are tuned for local conditions. With PSE&G net metering, daytime production earns credits that offset evening use and seasonal peaks.

Furthering Our Expertise

Our team is enrolled in the NABCEP PV Installation Professional training (Everblue). Coursework covers design validation, mechanical best practices, rapid shutdown, and commissioning-so your system is built to a high standard.

Roof Integrity First

As roofing pros, we protect underlayment, repair decking as needed, and choose mounts that preserve waterproofing. Flats can use ballasted or low-penetration rails; steeper slopes get tuned standoffs and spans.

Why Plainfield Homes Need Pro Roofing

  • Storm cycles, snow loads and summer heat accelerate shingle wear and flashing failures.
  • Older housing stock requires code updates at penetrations, chimneys and skylights.
  • Balanced intake/exhaust ventilation prevents moisture problems and attic heat.
  • Ice/water shield, drip edge and underlayment systems extend service life.
  • Photo documentation supports insurance claims and resale disclosures.

What We Do – Scope & Standards

  • Leak diagnostics at valleys, step flashing, pipe boots, skylights and chimneys.
  • Shingle repair and full replacements with code-compliant tear-offs.
  • Manufacturer-spec underlayments, flashing kits and fastener schedules.
  • Ventilation upgrades: soffit intake, ridge exhaust, baffles and attic airflow.
  • Gutters/downspouts, drip edge, and ice/water shield protection.

4-Step Process

  1. Inspect: roof, penetrations and interior symptoms (stains, moisture).
  2. Plan: scope, materials, ventilation and staging with clear schedule.
  3. Build: repairs/replacement to spec with daily cleanup and photo logs.
  4. Protect: warranty registration and homeowner maintenance tips.
