LITTLE EGG HARBOR, NJ - If a homeowner has solar panels on their roof and something goes wrong, they already know the headache. Most roofers show up, take one look at the panels, and tell the homeowner they can’t touch them. Then, the homeowner is stuck calling an electrician, trying to line up schedules, and watching the bills pile up before anyone even picks up a hammer.
G.R.M Roofing, based right here in Little Egg Harbor, decided there had to be a better way. So they brought a licensed electrician onto their team full-time. That’s not something one sees very often with roofing companies - actually, they’re one of the only contractors in all of Ocean County that can say that.
What that means in practice is pretty simple. When a homeowner calls about a roof issue and they’ve got solar, G.R.M handles everything. The disconnection, the panel removal, the roofing work, putting the panels back, reconnecting the wiring, testing the whole system. One crew. One phone call. No back-and-forth between companies.
Why This Saves Homeowners Real Money
Here’s the thing most people don’t realize until they’re already dealing with it. Getting solar panels removed and put back on during a roof job usually costs somewhere between $3,000 and $8,000 when separate contractors are hired. Some homeowners have gotten quotes north of $5,000 just for the solar side - before a single shingle gets replaced.
Because G.R.M does it all under one roof (no pun intended), those costs come down significantly. There’s no markup from a third-party electrician, no wasted days waiting for someone else’s schedule to open up. The whole project typically wraps up in five to seven days from start to finish.
It’s Not Just About Convenience
There’s a safety angle here too. Solar panels run on high-voltage DC power - systems that can hit 600 volts or more on a residential home. That’s not something that should be handled by someone who isn’t trained and licensed for it. An improper disconnection can cause electrical fires, serious shock hazards, or damage to the panels themselves.
And then there’s the warranty issue. Most solar panel manufacturers will void coverage if the electrical work wasn’t done by a licensed professional. That could mean thousands of dollars in lost protection on panels that are supposed to last 25 to 30 years. G.R.M keeps full documentation on every disconnection and reconnection so homeowners don’t have to worry about that.
New Jersey also requires proper electrical permits for any work involving solar panel systems. G.R.M’s electrician pulls all the necessary permits and makes sure everything is up to code - which matters more than people think when it comes to insurance claims down the road.
What the Service Covers
G.R.M isn’t just offering one type of job here. They handle full roof replacements where every panel has to come off and go back on, but they also do smaller stuff - fixing leaks around mounting points, replacing worn-out flashing under panels, repairing racking hardware, and emergency storm damage where time is critical. They work on commercial buildings with solar too, not just houses. More details on what’s included are on their solar panel roof repair page.
One thing that stood out about their approach: they pay close attention to the coastal environment. Out on the shore, salt air and wind-driven rain eat through seals and flashing faster than inland. G.R.M uses materials rated for those conditions and makes sure every roof penetration where mounting hardware connects is sealed properly for the long haul.
