Weddle and Sons Roofing

Weddle and Sons got its start in 1998 when three brothers—Eric, Allyn, and Tim Weddle—agreed to help friends replace an old farmhouse roof. The boys, ages 17, 15, and 13 respectively, tackled a steep two-story house with four layers of old shingles, and what began as a summer job became a calling. In June 2001, the company incorporated in Kansas, and twenty-five years later, the company has grown to a multi-location, multi-employee operation. Headquartered in Manhattan, KS, this solar installer serves homeowners across Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming with a combination of traditional roofing expertise and cutting-edge solar technology. In 2013 the company opened a new location serving the Lincoln Nebraska area, followed by expansion into Colorado’s Front Range. The family-owned company serves communities in Northeast Kansas, Northwest Missouri, Eastern Nebraska, the Front Range of Colorado, and the Northern Rockies, and has been in business since 1999. What sets Weddle and Sons apart in the solar installation market is their unique dual expertise. Weddle and Sons Roofing is the first Certified Tesla Solar Roof Installer in the country and the nation’s first Certified Tesla Solar Roof Installer. The company even traveled to Tesla’s facility in California for hands-on experience with its Solar Roof and is the only certified installer in the Midwest. This specialization means Manhattan homeowners and property owners throughout their service area can access Tesla’s integrated solar roofing technology—a system that replaces traditional roofing materials with energy-generating tiles. The company uses expertise in Solar Roof to also offer Tesla Solar Panels and many competing brands that give clients the options they need. Their clients own their panels—no leasing. Owning panels creates the perfect scenario to see real and lasting energy savings as panels gradually pay for themselves until homeowners are generating free electricity for years to come. For Kansas homeowners considering solar installation, this ownership model maximizes federal tax incentives and long-term savings. They leverage their 25 years of roofing experience to make sure that solar panels are not only installed to produce as much energy as possible, but also to prevent the compromise of the structural integrity of the roof. This roofing-first approach addresses a common concern with solar energy systems: proper waterproofing and structural integration. The company can safely remove existing solar panels, expertly replace roofs, and reinstall panels to ensure proper electrical connections and structural integrity is kept intact. BBB Accredited since April 2010, the company assists clients with insurance claim support and offers Tesla Solar Roof installations alongside traditional roofing services. Their motto is “Building Better Lives,”reflecting a commitment that extends beyond installation to long-term customer relationships. Employees live in the communities they serve, and the company looks forward to seeing clients in their neighborhoods, proud of the work they’ve done. For homeowners in Manhattan and surrounding Kansas communities considering home solar, Weddle and Sons brings a level of roofing expertise that pure-play solar companies cannot match, combined with certified training on one of the industry’s most innovative products.
