You shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions during your roof replacement project. In fact, you should ask a lot of questions in order to make well-informed decisions. In today’s article, TH Remodeling & Renovations Inc, one of the top roofing companies in our local area, discusses some of the questions you should ask during your roof replacement consultation.
1. Ask About Your Roofing Contractor’s Energy-Efficient Shingle Options
Today’s asphalt shingles can now improve your home’s energy efficiency. They have special granules that reflect the sun’s heat away from your home. This helps keep your attic cool, reducing the workload of your HVAC system. This means that your HVAC system will no longer have to consume as much energy to maintain your home’s desired temperature. Cool roofing shingles are also more resistant to the sun’s heat, so they are more durable and last longer.
2. Ask About Your New Roof’s Ventilation
As one of the top roofing contractors in our local area, we strongly suggest paying attention to your roof’s ventilation. Improving your roof’s ventilation will help regulate the temperature of your attic during summer and will help minimize the moisture in your attic during winter. Ask your contractor if they will include gable and ridge vents in their roof installation.
3. Ask If Your Roofing Contractor Also Installs Gutters
Consider upgrading your gutters at the same time as your roof replacement project. Old, misaligned and unsightly gutters won’t work well and won’t look good together with your new roof. New seamless gutters will protect your home from moisture damage. Seamless gutters are also more durable and require less maintenance than ordinary gutters.
