FAQ
Frequently asked
What is a cool roof?
A cool roof uses materials or coatings that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof, which can help reduce heat gain.
Do I have to replace the whole roof?
Not always. Some homes are candidates for a cool-roof coating over an existing sound roof; others benefit from a full re-roof. An inspection guides the recommendation.
Will a cool roof lower my utility bills?
Homeowners sometimes see reduced cooling demand, but savings depend on climate, insulation, HVAC, and existing roof condition.
How long does a re-roof take?
Timelines depend on roof size, complexity, and material. Your written project plan will outline the expected duration.
