A roof replacement professionally installed by a roofing contractor offers a return on investment ranging between 61.2 and 65.9 percent, depending on materials used, according to this year’s Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling magazine. It can help you reduce your heating and cooling costs, too, making it a worthwhile investment. A new roof should be considered if the existing one is old, damaged, or you want to improve its efficiency.
The shingles you choose do, however, play a part in helping improve your energy-efficiency. Energy-efficient roofing materials are designed to reflect more of the sun’s rays, thus, lowering the temperature of your roof by as much as 50°F (ENERGY STAR). That reduction may extend to your electricity bills, assuming your attic is adequately insulated and ventilated, and the new roof is professionally installed.
Energy-Efficient Products
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective option. In lighter colors, these shingles provided excellent levels of solar reflection and thermal emittance, which aids in lowering energy bills and improving occupant comfort. There are many colors available, although you’ll want to choose a light, neutral color for optimum efficiency. You can find ones that are made to look like tile, slate, or even wood. Asphalt shingles can withstand strong winds, heavy snowfall, and feature a lifespan of around twenty years.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs outlast asphalt shingles by over twenty-five years. They are an excellent option for Denver residents, as they provide maximum wind and fire resistance, as well as energy efficiency. There are many beautiful styles of metal roofing available to compliment any home in any neighborhood. With the many lasting benefits available, metal roofs are an ideal solution for homeowners looking to replace their aging or storm damaged roof. Contact a roofing contractor today to learn more.
