Participate in our Energy Savings Program and we'll finance the project at 0% interest with low monthly payments and no credit qualification. Simply have us apply our energy saving and environmentally friendly roof coating system and we'll make it convenient and affordable to Go Green.
The Green Roofing Specialists is committed to environmentally sensitive and energy efficient roofing materials. As members of the U.S. Green Building Council, we are strong proponents of "green" building and supplies.
A green building is a building that has been constructed or renovated to incorporate design techniques, technologies and materials that have less dependency on fossil fuels and minimize the building's overall negative environmental impact. Green buildings can include homes, offices, schools, churches, hospitals, museums and other buildings.
One of the greatest benefits of a green building is its reduced use of electricity and energy which can reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Approximately one-third of all energy consumed in the U.S. is for heating, cooling, lighting and for the appliances in a building. With the increased use of green building practices and green materials, a significant reduction in the use of energy consumption will be realized.
Our Energy Star rated roof coatings produce "cool roofs" and can also earn building owners LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points delivering economic and environmental value for many years.
Dark colored roof materials absorb heat which makes them deteriorate more quickly. Reflective roof materials are designed to reflect 90% of the heat from the sun keeping your building cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Studies have shown a major reduction in heating and cooling costs after the application of a reflective roof coating.
Furthermore, coatings offer additional savings with tax write-offs. Roof coatings are counted as a maintenance item and can be written off 100% in the same year. Conventional re-roofs are written off over a period 39 years under current IRS guidelines.
