as it relates to attic ventilation and better use of daylight. By doing this, our clients reduce their carbon footprint while getting the financial benefits of higher energy efficiency.
Choose the right roofing material
We help our clients choose the right roofing material from a sustainability standpoint:
Top-quality and durable
Choosing highly durable and performance-driven shingles that do well with different weather conditions and have a long service life will help you save energy and resources.
Reflective Granules
Roofing shingles with reflective granules can reflect solar UV rays enabling the colors of the shingles to be seen by the eye while still allowing the roof to stay cool.
Recycable
At the end of their useful life, asphalt shingles can avoid landfills and be recycled in most major metro areas.
The shingles are ground up and used widely in paving applications.
Improve roofing system
We offer improvements to the entire roofing system in order to reduce energy consumption:
Improved ventilation
Proper attic ventilation can lower the cost of cooling your home by 60 percent, it will also prolong the life of roofing materials and prevent premature deterioration of attic insulation materials. To learn more, see our Attic & Roof Ventilation page.
Better use of daylight
Using natural sunlight to illuminate interior areas of your house will minimize electrical lighting during the daytime hours. This can be accomplished by adding skylights or light tubes. See our Skylight Installation page.
