Energy Efficient Roofing
The hottest thing right now in the roofing industry is energy efficient roofing. The summers are getting hotter and people are looking for long term solutions to save money and help the environment. Energy efficient roofing is also a great way to update the look of your business or home.
Upgrading to metal roofing is a great start on improving your homes energy use and value. Metal roofing can be offered in many different ways, painted, unpainted or granular coated metal. You should consider metal roofing, because it is aesthetically pleasing, highly reflective, recyclable, and very durable. Metal roof washing and cleaning is simple as well.
If you want a great metal roof the last a very long time, we suggest a copper roof. Copper roofing is not only becoming popular in residential living, but is very popular in commercial metal roofing. Copper starts out amber, but eventually turns into an elegant green patina. Since the patina is oxidized, it prevents corrosion, so you don’t have to apply a protective coating to it every year. Consult a commercial roofing contractor a cooper roof, roofing estimates and for your commercial roofing needs.
Another energy efficient technique is to install a radiant barrier to your attic system. Radiant Barrier comes in foil or spray and its main purpose is to reflect heat.
Cool roof is great solution for a commercial building. Cool roof is usually a white acrylic, applied to asphalt roofs to keep them expanding from heat. I would consult a roofing specialist instead of installing it yourself.
Cool shingles are on the rise for residents. Cool shingles almost like cool roof, but are light-colored and contain an algaecide to prevent grunge. Cool shingles have a higher Solar Reflective Index (SRI) than traditional shingles as well.
If you do want metal roofing, an energy efficient single-ply made with Hypalon, or a composite roof will do just fine! Hypalon is a type of rubber and is very durable. Composite roofs are great because they can come in wood, metal or ceramic. Composite roofing colors are light, while composite roughs are durable and the best thing about them is that they are all natural!

Residential Roofing Dallas - Composition Shingles
Did you know that composition shingles are the most commonly used type of roofing system across the United States? And that they also are the best value for your dollar? Shingles in this region have an average life span between 12-15 years. If installed properly, composition shingles should be a maintenance free roofing system for years to come. Over the last decade there have been developments in Impact Resistant Composition Shingle Systems. These systems are designed to resist damage from hail and have stronger wind resistance. Your insurance provides premium discounts for installation of impact resistant roofing systems.
In recent years, the latest advance in composition shingle technology is "Cool Shingles." Cool Shingles are designed to keep the surface of your roofing system cooler, which will keep your energy costs down. The UV light reflective shingle surface enables your composition shingle system to be an Energy Star rated roofing system.

Tax Credits Still Available for Energy Efficient Roofing
Now is the time to improve the value of your home while helping the environment and saving money. Energy efficient roofing is eligible for a tax credit up to $1,500 on reflective asphalt shingles and qualified metal roofing. This is a great opportunity to increase the value of your home, lower your monthly energy bills and go green all at the same time.
Reflective asphalt shingles or metal roofing materials are two great options to help battle the heat in southern states. Some reflective asphalt shingles can help reduce the temperature of a home’s roof by up to 20% in the summer. They also reduce the expansion and contraction of building materials, helping to maintain your home’s structural integrity. Metal roofing is another great option for green roofing. Metal roofing is especially green when made from recycled materials. Lowering your energy cost is not the only benefit of having a metal roof; they also are long lasting and more durable than standard shingles.
These tax credits are currently only running through the end of this year. The fall and winter seasons are also the best time to install an energy efficient roofing system to be prepared for the upcoming summer. If you want to take advantage of these tax credits contact a roofing specialist, like Alpine Roofing for an estimate. Quality roofing companies have experience and expertise they can lend to help you get the most savings out of your roof.

Dallas Radiant Barrier
Today most of us are interested in saving energy and in doing what is right for the environment. Radiant barrier empowers you to do both of these and will also save you money. Radiant barrier controls the amount of heat that enters of exits your home. So, when it is hot outside, radiant barrier blocks a large percentage of heat from entering your living space and your air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard, which means lower utility bills for you! In cooler months, radiant barrier helps retain your home's heat by reflecting it back into your home. Our customers have reported 30 to 50% reductions in electrical use after installing radiant barrier. So, it's a great return on investment and will pay for itself in as little as a year and a half. There are several different ways to install radiant barrier. Some are better than others, of course. The most effective way is to attach the radiant barrier to the bottom of the roof's rafters. This allows 6 to 8 inches of dead space between your roof decking and the interior of the attic. This method is designed to block 97% of radiant heat transfer and will significantly lower your cooling costs. Contact Alpine Roofing Construction today. We'd be happy to come out and meet with you (at no cost to you) to explain all the options, answer any and all questions you have, and create a plan for your home. the sooner we install radiant barrier for you, the sooner you can lower your utility bills year-round.
