Homeowner needs to repair roof leaks caused by solar panel brackets without knowing if the entire roof or just the solar mounting needs replacement, and struggles to find a contractor who can diagnose and fix the issue correctly.

No single service integrates roof leak diagnosis with solar panel removal/reinstallation, leaving homeowners to coordinate separate contractors or make costly guesses.
