Garland Residential Roofing Guide

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.
