Built By Someone Who's Seen Every Way It Goes Wrong.
DFW Solar Roofer was founded by Ryan Lock, a solar and roofing COO, but it runs on a team. We spent years inside solar and roofing operations across the country — watching homeowners get passed between contractors, lose money on bad claims, and have their solar systems damaged by roofers who had no business touching them. DFW Solar Roofer exists because someone finally had to fix it.

Our team works at the intersection of two industries that are rarely done well together. Founder Ryan Lock spent his career as a Chief Operating Officer in both solar and roofing, overseeing more than 1,000 solar installations and 150+ roofing projects across multiple states — and that operational DNA is what the rest of our crew is built on. We've seen the complete picture of what happens when the two trades collide, and what goes wrong when they don't coordinate.
The gap we kept seeing was simple. Solar companies were great at selling and installing systems, but when a hailstorm hit, they had nobody to send their customers to. Roofing companies were picking up storm jobs with solar homes and either subcontracting the panels to unknown crews or leaving them disconnected for weeks. Homeowners were caught in the middle — getting partial repairs, voided warranties, and insurance claims that left money on the table. Nobody was solving all of it under one roof.
DFW is one of the fastest-growing solar markets in the country and sits in one of the most active hail corridors on earth. It was the obvious place to plant a flag. DFW Solar Roofer is built specifically for this market — solar homeowners who need a roofer that understands their system, and insurance claims that require someone who knows every line item in a solar supplement.
When our team shows up to your home, you're not getting a salesperson. You're getting operators who have run hundreds of jobs, negotiated with dozens of insurance adjusters, and coordinated solar reinstallation on roofs across the country. We built DFW Solar Roofer because the homeowner deserved better.

Why Experience at This Level Matters
Most contractors specialize in one trade. Our team operates across both — and DFW Solar Roofer is built to bring that combined expertise directly to DFW homeowners.
Solar Operations
With 1,000+ installations behind us, our team understands solar systems at a level most roofers never will — panel specs, inverter brands, racking systems, manufacturer warranty requirements, and recommissioning protocols. Your system is in expert hands from removal to final output test.
Roofing & Storm Claims
150+ roofing projects and years of insurance claim work means our team knows how adjusters think, what they look for, and what gets left off claims when the contractor doesn't push back. DFW Solar Roofer fights for the full scope — roof, panels, inverters, mounts, and labor — because we've done this enough times to know exactly what's claimable.
Operations & Accountability
Our operations are built on COO-grade systems — scheduling, quality control, crew coordination, and client communication. That operational rigor is what makes DFW Solar Roofer different. Jobs are documented, timelines are communicated, and nothing falls through the cracks between the roofing crew and the solar system.
Why Solar & Roofing Companies Trust Our Team
EPCs and roofing companies don't partner with contractors they have to babysit. When you send a customer to DFW Solar Roofer, you're sending them to a team that has sat in your seat — run the operations, managed the crews, handled the claims, and delivered the results. We speak your language because we've lived your job. That's why DFW Solar Roofer is the partner of choice for solar companies and roofing contractors across DFW who need someone they can trust to protect their customer relationships.
For Solar EPCs —
"Your post-install customers deserve a roofer who understands their system. Our team has overseen 1,000+ installations. We know your product better than most roofers know their own."
For Roofing Companies —
"Solar supplements require expertise. Our team has negotiated the full solar scope on dozens of claims. Bring us in and stop leaving money on the table."
