While green roofs can be more expensive than traditional roofing systems, choosing a green roof has multiple benefits ranging from lower cooling costs, reducing heat loads, capturing storm water run-off and in cities helping to reduce the heat island effect. Green roofing systems come in many designs to meet your specific roofing needs.

Other items to consider when selecting a roofing contractor for complete re-roofs or for commercial roof repairs in Boise, ID or the surrounding Treasure Valley area are a company’s ability to do the work, their experience and work history, and their financial soundness. Not just anyone who has a truck and ladder and a few tools is qualified to perform commercial roofing repairs, install new roofs or even find and fix roof leaks.

Metal roofs are one of the most durable and long-lasting roofing systems for pitched roofs. Standing seam metal roofs are vertical panels with two raised seams per panel, which are sealed via a crimping tool. Standing seam metal roofing systems are installed to the underlayment by clips allowing the metal to expand and contract as the outside temperature fluctuates. Installation is relatively easy, making labor cost lower than other more time intensive installation processes.

When it comes time to hire out for work, whether for interior or exterior jobs, you want to know the job is going to be done correctly. More than likely the reason why you are hiring someone is because you lack the necessary knowledge to do the job yourself and you want someone with the knowledge and skill set to be able to do what you cannot do.

Summer is still here, but fall is going to be on summer’s heels before we know it. It’s hard to think about cooler, wetter weather when it is still so hot outside and the sun stays out for the better part of the day. And most of us would like to not think about the end of summer and the beginning of yet another cold season and what that means to our buildings and roofs.

The dog days of summer are here with high temperature days, short nights and school gearing up for the next term. While everyone prepares for back-to-school with shopping for supplies and appropriate clothing for the coming year it’s a good time to prepare other areas of life for the seasonal change and the year ahead.
