Lakewood Homes Were Built for a Different Era
Lakewood was one of California's first large-scale planned communities, built in the early 1950s when tract housing went up by the thousands in what used to be a sugar beet farm. Most of those original roofs have been replaced once or twice since. The ones that haven't are living on borrowed time. Post-war construction in 90712, 90713, and 90715 tends to have low-slope roofs, aging sheathing, and ventilation that doesn't match modern thermal loads. Adding solar to a roof that's already marginal just traps the problem underneath expensive equipment. A Residential Roof and Solar Combo handles both jobs in one project - no second tear-off, no future scheduling headache, no panels coming off and going back on at your expense.
— The benefits
Why a Roof and Solar Combo Makes Sense in Lakewood
Skip the Double Tear-Off
Installing panels on a tired roof means pulling them off in three to five years for a replacement anyway. Do both now and you'll never pay that removal and reinstall fee, which runs $1,500 to $3,000 in Los Angeles County.
SCE Net Metering Adds Up
91712 and 90713 SCE customers on tiered rates can see bills drop 70 to 90 percent after a properly sized solar system. A sealed, well-ventilated new roof keeps attic temps lower, so your AC runs less and the panels stay more productive.
One Permit, One Inspection
Los Angeles County combines roofing and solar permits into a single review when work is done together. Permits here run 3 to 5 business days. One inspector visit instead of two means faster project close and faster system activation.
Manufacturer Warranty Stays Intact
Most shingle and metal roofing manufacturers void warranties when solar is installed by a separate contractor after the fact. Doing both jobs together under one licensed contractor keeps your 25 to 30-year roofing warranty clean and honored.
Santa Ana Wind Resistance
Lakewood gets hit hard by Santa Ana events every fall. New roof decking with proper fastening patterns rated for high-wind zones plus flush-mounted solar racking dramatically reduces the chance of both shingles and panels lifting during a wind event.
Home Value Jumps
90715 comps show homes with newer roofs and owned solar systems selling faster and for more. A Residential Roof and Solar Combo is one of the few home upgrades that pays back on the sale price and monthly savings simultaneously.
01
Free Roof and Solar Inspection
We check your existing sheathing, rafters, and electrical panel before any design work starts. No obligation, no sales pressure. 90712 and 90713 homes often have surprises under the shingles that affect cost.
02
Combined System Design
Solar layout gets drawn around your new roof's final pitch and orientation. No retrofitting around old penetrations or misaligned ridges. The design goes to Los Angeles County as one permit package.
03
Permits and HOA Approvals
Los Angeles County processes combined roofing and solar permits in 3 to 5 business days. If your Lakewood neighborhood has an HOA, we handle that submission too and track approval so you don't have to.
04
Roof First, Solar Second
Roofing crew tears off old material, replaces any damaged decking, and installs new underlayment and shingles or metal. Solar racking goes on the fresh roof the next day, before any caulk or sealant has cured improperly around old penetrations.
05
Inspection, Interconnection, and Activation
One city inspector signs off on both systems. SCE interconnection paperwork is filed immediately after. Most Lakewood homeowners see their system energized and Permission to Operate in hand within two weeks of inspection.
— How it works
How the Combo Project Works From Start to Finish in Lakewood
Green Conception runs every Residential Roof and Solar Combo in Lakewood as a single coordinated project, not two jobs bolted together. First we inspect your existing roof structure and check your electrical panel capacity. Then we design the solar array around your new roof layout, not the old one, so orientation and pitch are optimized from day one. Los Angeles County permit applications go in together - roofing and solar on one package - which typically gets approved in 3 to 5 business days. Roofing crew goes first, solar crew follows on day two or three. City inspection covers both. SCE interconnection paperwork gets filed the day the inspection passes. Most Lakewood projects go from signed contract to Permission to Operate in under 30 days. No deposit required to get your written quote.

More Services for Lakewood Homes
Attic Insulation and Air Sealing
Lakewood's 1950s tract homes lose massive amounts of conditioned air through uninsulated attics. Adding blown-in insulation and air sealing during a roofing project costs far less than a standalone job and directly improves solar ROI by cutting your cooling load before the panels even turn on.
Roof Tune-Up and Maintenance
Not every Lakewood roof needs full replacement. For roofs with five or more years of life left, a targeted tune-up - resealing flashings, replacing cracked shingles, clearing debris from valleys - can buy time without the full tear-off cost while you plan your solar project.
Battery Storage Systems
SCE's time-of-use rates hit hardest between 4 and 9 PM. A battery like the Enphase IQ or Tesla Powerwall stores your midday solar production and releases it during peak hours, slashing what you actually owe SCE each month. 90715 homes with battery storage average under $20 monthly on their SCE bills.
- Why us
Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Green Conception
Roof and Solar Built Together, Not Patched Together
A Residential Roof and Solar Combo done right isn't two separate jobs forced onto the same schedule. It's an integrated design where the roofing system and the solar racking are planned together from day one, so every penetration is clean, every warranty is intact, and the whole thing performs as one system.
"A roof that's put on right and a solar system that's designed around it - not slapped on top of whatever was already there - that's the whole difference between a project that holds up for 30 years and one that causes problems in year five."

— Common questions
Questions Lakewood Homeowners Ask About Roof and Solar Combos
How long does a Residential Roof and Solar Combo installation take in Lakewood?
Most Residential Roof and Solar Combo jobs in Lakewood finish in 3 to 5 days. Roof tear-off and replacement typically runs 1 to 2 days. Solar panel installation follows right after. 90712 and 90715 crews are familiar with the permit timelines at LA County, which average 3 to 5 business days. Scheduling your inspection early keeps the whole project on track.
What does a Residential Roof and Solar Combo cost in Lakewood, CA?
A Residential Roof and Solar Combo in Lakewood typically runs between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and system output. Asphalt shingle re-roofs start around $8,000 for an average Lakewood home. Solar adds $10,000 to $25,000 before federal tax credits. The 30% federal ITC can cut that number fast. Written quotes are no-obligation and free.
Do I need permits for a roof and solar installation in Lakewood?
Yes, both the roof replacement and solar installation require permits in Lakewood under LA County jurisdiction. Roofing permits cover structural work and fire-rated materials. Solar permits address electrical connections and utility interconnection. Pulling permits protects your home value and keeps your warranty valid. We handle the paperwork before any crew shows up.
Will my roof hold solar panels after a replacement in Lakewood?
A properly replaced roof in Lakewood should carry solar panels for 25 years or more. We check decking condition, rafter spacing, and load capacity before any panel goes up. 90713 homes built in the 1950s and 1960s sometimes need minor structural reinforcement. That gets caught during the free inspection, not mid-project. No surprises on the invoice.
What roofing materials work best with solar in Lakewood?
Composition asphalt shingles are the most common and solar-friendly roofing material in Lakewood. Flat concrete tile works well too but needs proper flashing at every penetration point. Metal roofing offers the longest lifespan and pairs cleanly with solar mounting systems. We'll recommend the right material based on your roof pitch, budget, and panel layout. Options run from $4 to $14 per square foot installed.
How much can I save on energy bills with a Residential Roof and Solar Combo in Lakewood?
Most Lakewood homeowners offset 70 to 100 percent of their electricity bill with a properly sized solar system. SCE rates in 90712 average around $0.28 per kWh, so the savings add up fast. A 7 kW system can cut $150 to $220 off your monthly bill. Pair that with a new energy-efficient roof and total savings climb higher. Ask for a production estimate in your free quote.
Is a Residential Roof and Solar Combo worth it for older homes in Lakewood?
Older Lakewood homes in the 90715 and 90713 zip codes often have roofs that are 20 to 30 years old and are past due for replacement anyway. Combining the roof job with solar avoids opening up the roof twice, which saves labor cost and reduces exposure to weather during construction. The best Residential Roof and Solar installer will check your attic insulation and ventilation at the same time. One project. One crew. Done.
