Going Green with Roofing

Frisco TX rooferIn 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.

The Importance of Attic Ventilation

Attic VentilationOne of the most important – and most ignored – topics when focusing on roofing maintenance is proper attic ventilation. As we prepare for the warm temperatures that the spring and summer months, it’s essential to have a well-ventilated attic in order to keep the temperatures in the attic low.

The low attic temperatures will help decrease cooling costs. Your air conditioner will not have to work as hard to cool the attic. Some tend to confuse proper ventilation with proper insulation. While the two work together, if you don’t have proper ventilation, the insulation could even cause temperatures to rise, as it retains solar heat.

Our qualified McKinney TX attic ventilation experts at Paradigm Roofing fully understand the importance of having proper ventilation. It is estimated that roughly nine out of 10 homes nationwide currently have inadequate ventilation, primarily because homeowners are unaware of the potential issues that could be caused. Improper ventilation throughout the home can lead to siding, paint and wallpaper damage, warping and cracking of shingles and, of course, higher energy costs.

Our McKinney TX roofing company can help you maintain proper ventilation in your attic. Give us a call today, and schedule an attic ventilation inspection. Feel free to also contact our McKinney TX roofers via online.
