Milwaukee Residential Energy Efficient Roofing

The initial cost of energy-efficient roofing can be higher than traditional roofing systems, but it’s essential to consider the long-term savings and benefits that offset this initial investment. The reduced energy costs, long-term durability of materials, increased property value, and potential tax incentives make it a wise and worthwhile investment.

As with any home improvement project, it’s recommended to consult with trusted professionals, like our team at Standard Roofing & Restoration, to help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and circumstances.

At Standard Roofing & Restoration, we offer a diverse range of energy-efficient roofing options to cater to the unique needs of every homeowner. This includes roof coatings, which are fully adhered, fluid-applied roofing membranes installed on top of your existing roof system. Available in a variety of types, including silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane, these coatings have reflective properties that minimize heat absorption, save on energy costs, and extend the lifespan of your roof. Metal roofing also offers premium energy efficiency.

Because metal roofs are highly reflective, they can bounce back a large portion of the sun’s rays, rather than absorbing them like traditional asphalt shingles. This reflective quality helps to keep homes cooler during hot summer months, reducing the demand for air conditioning and thus lowering energy consumption.

The most immediate benefit homeowners notice is a reduction in energy costs. These roofing systems are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, which lowers the need for air conditioning and, consequently, your energy bills.

By minimizing the heat that enters your home, energy-efficient roofs maintain a more stable and comfortable indoor temperature, reducing hot and cold spots in your house, especially during the peak summer months.

As we strive to reduce our carbon footprint, energy-efficient roofs stand out as a responsible choice. By lowering energy consumption, they contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

These roofs are typically made with durable materials that withstand harsh weather conditions and UV radiation better than traditional roofing, leading to a longer lifespan and lower maintenance and replacement costs.

As energy efficiency becomes increasingly desirable in real estate, homes with energy-efficient roofs can command higher market prices. It’s an investment that can pay off should you decide to sell your property in the future.

In some cases, choosing an energy-efficient roof can make you eligible for federal, state, or local tax credits or rebates, which can offset the initial installation cost.
