A cool roof is a roofing system that is designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. Cool roofs are typically made of materials that have a high solar reflectance, such as white or light-colored coatings, tiles, or shingles. By reflecting more sunlight, cool roofs help to reduce the amount of heat absorbed by a building, which can lead to lower cooling costs and improved indoor comfort during hot weather. Cool roofs are especially useful in warm and sunny climates, where they can help to reduce the urban heat island effect and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The timeline for a new roof installation can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. On average, a new roof installation can take anywhere from two to five days.

The length of the re-roofing process depends on the size of your roof and the complexity of the job. In general, it can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more to complete a re-roofing project.

Asphalt Composition roofing, also known as asphalt shingle roofing, is a type of roofing material made from asphalt and fiberglass. It is a popular roofing option because it is relatively affordable, durable, and easy to install.

You should consider re-roofing with composition shingles if your current roof is damaged, old, or leaking. The lifespan of a composition roof is typically around 25-35 years, so if your roof is approaching this age or older, it may be time to consider replacement.

People often ask Complete Construction, how many layers of shingles are allowed on my roof? Most building codes allow a structure to have two roof membranes. Generally though, experience proves the rule "one and off" which allows Complete Construction to inspect the roof deck and make any necessary repairs. Also, the roofing system itself lasts longer and the roof warranty may qualify for an extended coverage period.

Installing a new roof over an existing roof is acceptable but not generally recommended. Having a suitable surface to attached the new roof to can only be guaranteed with a complete tear-off and inspection of the homes roof deck.

The challenges of installing a new roof are numerous, including the danger of a workplace accident along with the skill and knowledge associated with installing a roof system. Manufactures generally will not issue a warranty if the product is not installed by a licensed professional.

The installation of a new roof will generally affect you in three ways: vibration inside the home, debris in the attic and outside area, and noise. The first one, vibration, means you should remove all loose items from you walls and shelves. Debris, the second one, can occur in your attic and especially outside. A good roofer will discuss how to protect these areas. Last is noise, and lots of it. If you have pets at home or work from home, plan accordingly.

NO. Pressure washing a roof when done carefully minimally remove granules that are so important to the longevity of your roof. Pressure washings when done poorly removes even more granules, exposing the roof to the harmful UV rays of the sun.

The lifespan of a new roof can vary depending on the type of material used and the quality of the installation. On average, a new roof can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years or more with proper maintenance and care. Certainteed offers lifetime warranty.
