Money Saving Tips Through Your Roof

MONEY SAVING TIPS: ROOFING SHINGLES MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Our first money saving tips for homeowners are about your roof shingles. Have you considered Class IV shingles? The Class IV rating is given by Underwriters Laboratories, to a product that meets certain standards. A Class IV rating tells you that a sample of the product did not crack when hit twice in the same area by a 2-inch steel ball.

We have several types available, and with all of these you will get a discount from your homeowners insurance. The exact amount depends on your insurance agent and the company, but it can be between 18% and 30%.

If you remove those old dried out shake shingles, and go back to traditional decking and Class IV shingles, you can save as much as 50% off of your homeowners insurance.

MONEY SAVING TIPS: ROOF REPLACEMENT

Then take care of your roof. Roof Replacement can be expensive. Getting the best roof for your money will extend your roof’s life for a very long time. Using only the highest-quality shingles is one of your considerations. We use Composite shingles. These shingles are cost effective, are stronger than asphalt shingles, come in a wide variety of colors to match your home and are relatively easy to install which keeps your cost down.

MONEY SAVING TIPS: CHECK YOUR ROOF FOR LEAKS

An undetected roof leak can lead to major issues inside a home and cost the homeowner if it goes undetected for very long. One way to prevent this from happening is to perform routine roof maintenance.

  • Cleaning gutters.
  • Checking shingles for damage.
  • Inspecting around chimneys, pipes and skylights.
  • Examine interior walls and ceilings for water damage.

Routine roof maintenance can save homeowners a lot of money in the long run. If you have questions about your home insurance please contact us.

MONEY SAVING TIPS: SAVE MONEY ON YOUR ENERGY BILL

While installing the decking, if we install radiant barrier decking, this will save you 10% to 15% on your energy bill. Combine this with upgraded ventilation, and you can see realistic savings of up to 20% or more.

POLARALUM IS AN EXCELLENT THERMAL BARRIER

Installing a Polaralum thermal barrier as part of your new roof is a smart move for homeowners. An effective Polaralum thermal barrier will reflect heat away from your home which will lower energy costs while increasing comfort to your home. It is also slip resistant and won’t tear. Polaralum is an underlayment that goes on top of the deck, underneath the shingles. Polaralum is impact-resistant to hail and does not need to be removed if a storm destroys your new roof. Your investment can be covered with 15# or 30# traditional felt and you lose nothing. Polaralum will last your home a life time.
