Solar
Solar installation, planned by roofers
We now offer solar. Because we're roofers first, we check and prepare your roof before a single panel goes on, so the roof and the system work together for decades.
Why go solar with a roofing company
Solar panels are built to last decades. The roof under them has to last just as long.
Most solar problems we hear about aren't with the panels. They're with the roof: panels installed on a roof with a few years left, or mounts that were never sealed properly and leak.
As roofers, we look at the roof first. If it needs work, we can plan the roof and the solar together, so you don't pay to remove and reinstall panels a few years later.
What you get
- Free solar assessment
- Roof inspection before every install
- Roof and solar planned together
- Sealed, flashed roof mounts
- Homes in Maryland and Washington, DC
- One family business from start to finish
How solar installation works
From the first visit to the day your system turns on, here's what to expect.
First we visit and look at your roof's condition, its direction and shading, and your electric bills. Then we design a system sized to how you use power and lay out the panels around your roof.
Solar needs permits, an inspection and approval from your utility before it can turn on. We walk you through each step and tell you what to expect at every stage.
The steps
- Free site and roof assessment
- System design and panel layout
- Permits and utility approval
- Installation
- Inspection and turn-on
Solar on flat roofs and rowhouses
Rowhouses in Washington, DC and Baltimore often have flat roofs with good sun, and they can be strong candidates for solar.
On a flat roof we plan the layout around drains, parapets, hatches and roof access, and we make sure the membrane under the panels is in good shape before anything goes on top of it.
In historic districts, panels visible from the street can need review first. Layouts that sit behind a parapet are often out of view.
What we check
- Membrane condition
- Drains and slope
- Parapets and flashing
- Shading from trees and buildings

“I want to thoroughly recommend Pineda's Roofing. My experience with them was exceptional. I had a few roof shingles blown off in a storm, as did one of my neighbors. I asked my neighbor who she got to do her repair job and she, thankfully, gave me the name and number for Pineda's Roofing…”

Solar Installation questions

Not when the mounts are flashed and sealed correctly. That's roofing work, and it's exactly what we do every day.
