Energy Efficient Roofing from your Rowlett Roofing Company

Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings (1/6) of all electricity generated in this country). Energy Star® qualified roof products reflect more of the sun’s rays.  This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees, significantly decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.

Energy Star® qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15 percent.  During building design and when your existing roof needs replacement are both excellent times to consider a more energy efficient roofing system.  Do your research, and find a reputable Rowlett roofing company of your choice who is knowledgeable about more efficient roofing systems to assist you in the process of choosing the roofing system right for you.

Metal Roofs – Consider metal roofing, metal roofs are more energy efficient than shingles.  Metal does not have the kind of heat-absorption qualities that shingles have, so it will radiate less heat in your home and attic spaces, making your air conditioning have to run less.

TPO Roofs – The white TPO roofing membrane used on flat roofing systems typically has a reflectivity rating in the high 80% range when installed, and after three years still maintains a rating in the low 80% range.  A TPO roof is a great option for a commercial roofing system.

“Cool Shingles” – Utilizing a highly reflective granule technology that reflects or essentially bounces back the sun’s rays, Cool Shingles help keep roof temperatures cooler, resulting in a much more comfortable living space below.

These are just a few of the many energy efficient roofing options for your home or business.  If you are interested in learning more about “green” roofing, click here to watch our video, or give us a call at 214-528-9897 and we can meet with you to discuss your options, we give free estimates!  We are a trusted Rowlett roofing company who has been around for over a decade.

Radiant Barrier Installation from your Mckinney TX Roofing Company

Summer will be here before you know it!  As you know, Texas summers can be more than brutal, and make your energy bills go through the roof.  Radiant barriers are installed in homes, usually in attics, primarily to reduce summer heat gain, which help significantly lower cooling costs.

At Alpine Roofing Construction, we use a highly reflective foil that is applied to the underside of your roof rafters.  This foil is designed to reduce the amount of heat that is able to penetrate into your attic during the summer, and can even keep heat in during the winter.  This will consequently lower your heating and cooling costs up to 50%, making it an investment that will pay for itself.  (Radiant barrier pays for itself within 4 ½ years of installation)  Not only will it lower your energy costs, there are also tax credits available for installing this foil in your attic.

When the sun heats your roof, it is primarily the sun’s radiant energy that makes the roof hot, and a large portion of this heat travels through the roofing materials into your attic.  Radiant barrier foil is a durable, three ply aluminum foil product that blocks 97% of the sun’s radiant heat.  This will maintain uniform temperature throughout your home, and cause your air conditioning to run around 1/3 of the normal operating time.

Proper installation of a radiant barrier in coordination with the insulation and attic ventilation is critical.  When all of these systems are properly installed by an Alpine Roofing Construction radiant barrier expert, you will see all the results stated above.

We will work with you individually to make your home more energy efficient, and help you get the energy savings results you are looking for.  If you are interested in McKinney TX radiant barrier services, please contact us at 214-528-9897 for a free estimate!

Make Sure these Items are Addressed During your Roof Replacement | Farmers Branch Roofing

If it is time for your roof to be replaced, make sure that your job is done right! Make sure that the Farmers Branch roofing company you choose is going to use the following steps in your roof replacement.  The existing roof covering, whether it is shingles, slate, tile, etc. should be removed down to the plywood decking.  Most manufactures will void their warranty if your replacement shingles are installed over any existing roofing materials.

Remove Old Flashing

Existing flashings should be removed.  Damage and rotten wood could be hiding under your old flashing.  If left in place, damaged wood could cause future structural problems.

Remove Felt / Replace Damaged Plywood

The old felt under your shingles needs to be completely removed, so your plywood decking can be properly inspected.  Damaged or rotten wood will need to be replaced.  If rotten plywood is not replaced, your roof could leak soon after installation.

Install New Felt Underlayment

A new 15 or 30 lb felt underlayment should be installed prior to installing new shingles or roof materials.

Replace Pipe Boots

The pipe boots and pipe stacks and other various protrusions throughout the roofing area should be replaced.  These kinds of pipe stacks age over time, and installing new ones will complete the look of your new roof.

Quality Roof Replacement Materials

Choosing a quality shingle to extend the lifespan of your roofing system is important.  We are certified applicators of most major shingle brands, so choose one of your liking, or we can recommend the best quality materials!

When you choose the Farmers Branch TX roofing company of your choice, just make sure they are thorough in their processes.  A company, who just proposes to replace the shingles, and not the other roofing components, is not the roofing company you want to choose!  Call Alpine Roofing Construction at 972-957-7011 for a free estimate, we are extremely thorough and reliable!

The Top 5 Mistakes in Purchasing a New Roof | Carrollton Roofing

1.  Price is your only concern.

The price of a roof repair or replacement can vary greatly.  If you shop around, and find a company whose price is way below the other bids that you got, there may be a reason why.  Remember, you get what you pay for! Check to make sure that this company is offering to do the same scope of work that the other companies were.  Are there any hidden costs in their bid?  Make sure there will not be any surprise costs that sneak up on you when the project is completed.  Check to make sure that this company has insurance.  If a roofing company does not carry insurance, they will probably be able to offer you a lower price than their competition, but you do not want them on your roof without having the proper insurance protection!  Make sure to find a company with a competitive price, who is qualified to do the work.

2. Basing your choice on the company who responded the quickest or can start immediately.

If a company is at your house within an hour of your call, it is a sign that they do not have very much business.  Check the local BBB or reviews on Google to see if other customers have had a satisfactory experience with the company.

3. Companies who use high-pressure sales tactics.

If a sales person is trying to make you sign their contract immediately, or make a rushed/quick decision, this is a red flag!  You should be given time to look over their proposal without them standing in your living room.  Don’t fall for any high-pressure sales tactics, like a “lower price if you sign today.”  Take your time, you are making a large purchase that can greatly affect the integrity of your home!

4. A deal that seems too good to be true, probably is!

Check on the quality of materials the company you choose is using, make sure they are using top of the line products, and that you aren’t just getting a lower price because they are using second tier products.  What is their warranty?  Alpine Roofing Construction offers a standard 5 year warranty on any roof that we replace, and we wouldn’t suggest accepting much less.  Again, make sure you read the fine print, and that there won’t be any hidden costs that will sneak up on you after the work is complete.  Most importantly, make sure this company has references, ask for 3-5, so you can chat with recent customers about their level of performance.

5. Using a contractor who works out of their truck.

In Texas, roofing contractors are not required to have a license.  This means there is no shortage of roofing companies who are working out of their truck.  We suggest finding a company with an office staff. (Even if it is a small staff.)  A reputable company will have a staff who answers the phones, or can answer any billing questions you might have.  If you call a contractor, and you can tell he is answering the phone on a job site, be aware of what you might be getting yourself into!

Remember, purchasing a roof is a big decision, so treat it like one!  Do your research, and find a reputable Carrollton Roofing Company that you can trust will do the job right.  Call us at 972-957-7011 for a free estimate!

Good Ways to Tell if is Time to Replace your Roof | Lewisville Roofing

A lot of homeowners do not know when they should replace the asphalt shingle roof on their house.  If you’re asking yourself this question, you may already be dealing with roof issues, or your roof may be really old and you suspect it may be time.  Other than a leak, most people do not know what kind of issues to look for.

If your shingles are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to call a Lewisville Roofing Company to evaluate your roofing system for replacement!

  • Curling
  • Hail/Wind Damage
  • Delamination
  • Granule Loss

Curling Shingles

Shingles that have deteriorated will sometimes curl upwards, and no longer lay flat against the roof deck.  Curling can happen over the years as your shingles lose granules.  If you notice that your shingles are curled upwards, your roof is in need of replacement.  Your shingles have lost their ability to guard your house from water.  If water begins to leak into your attic, it can cause extensive interior damage to your attic, insulation, and drywall.  You may even develop mold from water saturating an area for an extended period of time, possibly without your knowledge.

Hail/Wind Damage

Hail damage is another big reason to get your roof replaced.  Hail impacts can create rivets into the shingles and vent coverings, which can greatly affect the integrity of your roofing system.  Hail damage is covered by most insurance policies, so if you have experienced hail at your home, you should contact your insurance company.  If you’ve experienced wind damage, you may be able to see on your roof where areas of shingles have blown up, or are missing.  If you see shingles that have been uplifted, this will eventually turn into a leak.  So, we recommend getting this evaluated as soon as possible.

Delamination

Shingles that are delaminating can look as if they are crumbling.  You may find large chunks of shingles and granules in your yard or gutters.  Delamination is normally a result of aging shingles.  Sun and heat can dry the roof shingle out, and make it more brittle.

Granule Loss

Although granule loss is normal over the lifespan of your roofing system, if your roof gets to a point where it has lost more granules than it has left.  It is probably time to consider replacement!

Take a quick look at your roof, walk around the perimeter of your house.  If you think it may be experiencing any of the above items, call a reputable Lewisville TX roofing company to come check it out for you!  Call Alpine Roofing Construction at 972-957-7011 for a free estimate!

Euless TX Residential Roofing Contractor

Choosing a residential roofing company to work on your home is a very important task.  When selecting a company, choose one like Alpine Roofing Construction, who can handle all of your roofing and construction needs!  We work on every type of roofing system around, and can make sure your roofing project is completed right the first time!

Asphalt shingles are the most common Euless residential roofing system.  Asphalt shingles are relatively low cost in comparison to

other types of roofing systems, and will normally last around 10-15 years on average in this region.  Asphalt shingles provide proper protection for your home, and there are several styles/colors to choose from.

Metal roofing is a great option for residential customers.  Although the initial cost is higher for a metal roof, you’ll save a lot of money in the long run.  Your energy costs will be cheaper, and a metal roofing system can last a lifetime, as opposed to the 10-15 year average asphalt shingle lifespan.  A metal roofing system can also increase the resale value of your home, lower your insurance premiums, and greatly improve the aesthetic appearance of your home.  There are numerous benefits of a metal roofing system, but the most important factor is choosing a qualified roofing contractor to install the roof.  Choosing an unqualified roofing company to install a metal roof on your home can turn into a nightmare, and you could be plagued with a roof that has constant problems.

Simulated Slate roofs have the look of a slate roofing system, and can truly enhance the beauty of your home, as well as offering a high level protection.  Synthetic Slate has an all-natural appearance, are extremely durable, and relatively easy to install.  They carry a Class A Fire resistance rating, UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance rating, and wind resistance to 110 mph.  All of these resistance ratings will save you on your home insurance premiums.  The simulated slate will also carry a 50-year limited warranty.

Tips for Finding a Dependable Mesquite TX Roofing Company

Choosing a Mesquite roofing company is a very important task when it is time to replace your roof, or have repairs made.  Your home is your biggest investment, and choosing a contractor who is inexperienced can really come back to hurt you!  The roof on your home is there to provide protection to every internal component of your house, and also greatly effects the way your home looks from the outside.

If you are in need of a new roofing system or need some roof repairs, here are a few tips to find a company that is reliable:

  • Ask people you know – Other people’s past experience with a roofing company is a good way to judge a company’s level of performance, and how they are likely to perform in the future.  Ask friends,neighbors, and family if they know of a reliable company that they have had a good experience with.
  • Do your research – Google is a very helpful tool! Look around the web, check out this company’s website, their past customer reviews, and check them out on the BBB.  If you find questionable results to your search, move on to another company.
  • INSURANCE – This is probably the most important item for you to verify.  If a representative from a roofing company that is uninsured was on your roof, and was injured, you as the homeowner are going to be held responsible.
  • Ask the company for references – Reputable roofing companies should have customers who were satisfied with their services.  Ask them for 3+ references so you can speak to people who have dealt with them in the past, and see how they feel about the company.

Use common sense when selecting a roofing contractor.  If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.  If you get a bad or suspicious feeling about their level of skill, find another company! Unfortunately, the state of Texas does not require roofing companies to have a license.  So your research is very important. The Mesquite TX roofing company you choose will be a decision that affects you for years to come.
