An entire roofing system replacement ensures a longer lasting and more cost-effective outcome in the long run.

A properly installed roof with good attic ventilation can help keep your attic cooler. This means you'll spend less on cooling your home. New shingles also reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat. However, to truly optimize your energy savings, consider installing a solar system on your roof.

​At Panda, our approach begins with a thorough inspection of your current roof. We then remove outdated materials and assess the decking, ensuring it's ready for the new roof. We prioritize protecting your property during this process, safeguarding landscaping and outdoor items. For a seamless experience, homeowners are encouraged to inform our project manager about special items or concerns in the yard ahead of the installation.​
