Going Green with Roofing

In today’s increasingly environmentally conscious society, “going green” is extremely important to people. At Paradigm Roofing, it is important to us too. Our Frisco TX roofing contractors can offer assistance to all those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
One of the main benefits of “going green” with your roofing is qualifying for a tax credit. By purchasing an energy efficient, environmentally friendly roof, you can be eligible for a tax credit rebate, an intriguing incentive to remember when it comes to choosing your roof. Combined with the savings from your monthly energy bill, the profits begin to add up quickly. Whether for a commercial or residential property, a new roof can have noticeable financial benefits.
With a “green” roof, the shingles can reflect heat, allowing your home to remain cool during the hotTexassummer. By keeping the heat out, your home’s cooling system won’t have to work overtime to keep your home comfortable. Metal roofing also proves to be environmentally friendly, as these roofs reflect the sun’s rays as well. Lowering your energy costs is crucial for many homeowners, and now you can save money, and save the environment, all with the remodeling of one roof.
For all your roofing needs, count on one of our Frisco TX roofing contractors to get the job done right. Give us a call at 972-542-7774 or contact us online today.

Solar Reflective Roofs a Conservative Option
Because of its primary objective of protecting from all outside elements, some consider the roof the most important part of any building structure, commercial or residential. As we prepare for what appears to be an early spring, it is imperative for homeowners and business owners to take all precautions necessary to not only fight off the heat but also be energy conscious in doing so.
Using solar reflective coatings can be an excellent way to control energy consumption. These coatings – typically a light-colored, polymeric-blend material for heat-absorption purposes – lower a roof’s surface temperature significantly, and they keep the inside of a building cooler to where air conditioning units are not working as hard to cool areas. Lesser use of an AC unit will result in a lower cooling bill during the spring and summer months.
Solar reflective coatings, in addition, offer protection that will give your roof a longer life cycle. They can be applied either to a roofing membrane or as a scotch-guard of sorts after the roof is applied. A roof with a dark membrane can reach scorching temperatures during the hottest part of summer days, but the temperature of a roof with a solar reflective coating can drop as much as 40 percent, perhaps more.
Our McKinney TX roofers specialize in solar reflective coatings and all other coatings that can be beneficial for your home or office. Feel free to give our McKinney roofing company a call, or visit us online for more information.

Do You Qualify for a Tax Credit?
Paradigm Roofing, in addition to focusing on quality roofing, is adamant about energy conservation and efficiency. “Going green” is more than just another phrase.
Our McKinney TX roofers want to inform all customers of the tax credits offered by the federal government that will help homeowners offset roofing repair and maintenance costs. As a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, all property owners who choose an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly roofing system may be eligible for a tax credit of up to $500.
To qualify, all properties must be pre-existing. They also must be principal residences. Newly constructed buildings and rentals do not qualify. The tax credit, in addition, does not include new installation costs.
The tax credit can help you upgrade your roof to where it can become a major investment for you and your family down the road. A metal roof system, for example, can reduce your summer utility costs by as much as 25 percent. For more information about the tax credit, call our McKinney TX roofing company, or contact us online.
