5 star on Google ReviewsOne of the most common questions from people having their roofs replaced is whether they will need to replace their attic insulation, too. While it is entirely possible to replace a roof without making any changes to the insulation, there are a lot of benefits to getting both of these things done at the same time.
So, as a homeowner, how do you know when your insulation is getting old or damaged? Most of the time, you will be able to tell by several factors.
If some rooms in your house never seem to get fully comfortable—they always stay a bit too hot or cold, never reaching the temperature you have set for the rest of the house—it could be a sign that your insulation isn’t at its best.
If your energy bills are unusually high, it means your heating or air conditioning could be having to work harder than usual to compensate for a flaw in the insulation. Older insulation can wither a bit and cause patchy spots where heat or cool air can escape through the attic.
If you go into your attic and notice that your insulation is damp, it could point toward a leak somewhere or a problem with ventilation. Both of these can cause serious problems with mold or decay in your home, and wet insulation no longer does its job of insulating the house.
More than 80% of homes in the NOVA region do not have the required amount of insulation, per local building code. VA Building Code recommends level R38 for attic insulation, which is approximately 14-15″ in depth. Having sufficient insulation is imperative for the overall energy efficiency of the home because ~35% of all heat loss (from the home) is lost through the roof or through the attic.
It isn’t an absolute necessity to replace your insulation with your roof. If your insulation is reasonably new or a professional has confirmed that it is in good condition, you probably don’t need to worry about it. However, if you’ve noticed signs that your insulation is getting old or deteriorating, it can be a great idea to get it done while you get your roof replaced.
It’s pretty common knowledge that scheduling two home improvement projects will save you a lot of time and trouble in the long run. Most homeowners don’t love the sound of workers with power tools around the house, so scheduling two projects at once lets you shorten the time by having the projects overlap.
If you get your insulation swapped out while your roof is being replaced, work will be easier on the roofing crew because they don’t have to worry about coming back anytime soon. Since they’re already at your home with their tools and supplies, it simplifies their job and lets them use their time more effectively.
In addition, roofers can notice problems with your insulation while they’re working on your roof. This means they can point out places where your insulation might be damaged and help you to decide if you should move forward with replacing it.
If you decide that you do want to replace your insulation along with your roof, you should contact your roofing company as soon as possible and come up with a plan. Since there are different types of attic insulation to choose from, you will want to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each one to most accurately decide which is best for your home.
There are several kinds of insulation that you can consider, but the most commonly used in residential projects are batts and blown insulation.
Batts are thick, flat sheets of insulation that are usually used between studs in a wall. It can be made of cotton or fiberglass and form a barrier around the edges in your roof or attic, but it tends to leave gaps that allow your indoor air to get out. In addition, batt insulation requires a lot more work and a specialized team to install.
Blown insulation is a loose material that gets blown into your attic using a machine with a hose attachment. Since it is in a small-particle form, it is much easier to install and thoroughly insulate even the most difficult-to-reach areas in your attic.
The short answer is technically no. But if you know your insulation needs to be replaced, it can be a great plan to get it done at the same time as you get your roof replaced. It can save money and time for both you and your roofing company.

Having your roof in its best condition is vital throughout the whole year. But in the colder months, an old or damaged roof can cause a different set of problems than in other seasons.
It’s a common misconception that roofs can’t be installed during winter. In reality, a new roof can be installed at any time of the year as long as the temperature outside is above 40 degrees and the weather is clear, with no snow or ice on the roof. There are many benefits to having your roof replaced as the weather gets colder, including saving money.
Most shingles used for roofing should only be installed when the outside temperature is above 40 degrees. This is because a lot of asphalt shingles are made with components that seal to the roof using the sun’s heat, making it impossible for them to seal when the weather is too cold.
In addition, shingles can become brittle and break more easily in the cold, meaning a roofing contractor will end up wasting a lot of materials that get damaged. Although some companies claim their shingles can be installed at any temperature, a lot of roofers still adhere to the 40-degrees rule to make sure they’re doing great work.
A good roofing contractor’s main concerns are the quality of their work and the safety of their employees. Snow or ice on a roof makes it dangerous for roofers to work because they can easily lose their footing and fall from a height that could cause them serious harm.
Not only that, but roofers will have to wear cold weather-appropriate gear in the snow or ice, such as heavy boots, gloves, and coats, which will add to the weight they have to carry while working on your roof.
Adding in the possibility that tools won’t function as they’re supposed to in freezing conditions or shingles won’t adhere properly to the roof, it’s overall a better idea to schedule a roof replacement for a time when the weather is a little bit warmer.
Having a bad roof in any season is pretty much guaranteed to cost you time, effort, and money. In the winter, though, it can leave you with higher heating bills and water damage or flooding inside your home. Therefore, you should look into a roof replacement as soon as you need it rather than putting it off.
Considering the issues you might face if you have a faulty roof, you should be jumping to get your roof replaced before the weather gets too cold! These are just a few of the benefits of scheduling your roof replacement before or during the winter months.
It’s no surprise that your heating bills will go up in the winter, but did you know they’ll go up even more if you have an old roof? Damaged places in roofs allow the heat from your house to escape through your attic, so your heating system has to work even harder to keep you and your family comfortable. This problem is eliminated when your roof is in great condition, which is just one of the many reasons you should aim to get your old roof replaced before the weather gets too cold.
Having clean gutters is a must in the snowy, icy winter months. When snow builds up on your roof, it melts down and your gutters keep it from seeping into your house and causing water damage or flooding. If your roof’s shingles are in bad condition and start breaking off, pieces can get caught in your gutters and create a buildup of debris that doesn’t allow melted snow and ice through, and it can overflow and cause serious problems. If your roof is new and the shingles are securely attached, however, there will be no risk of them falling off and catching in the gutters.
Partly thanks to the belief that roof replacement in cold weather is impossible, many people don’t schedule roof inspections during autumn and winter. That means that roof contractors are available more readily and will have an easier time working with you to find a time that works best for your roof replacement.

Technology is broadening minute by minute. No matter what new technology comes out today, sooner or later it is going to be replaced by something more advanced and more cost-effective. The roofing industry is definitely not an exception to the rule.
Let’s take a look at new technologies that have hit the market and are revolutionizing the roofing industry.
What are cool roofs? These new roofing materials are used to reflect as much of the sun’s heat away from the building, rather than absorbing it. This will help keep your home or property cooler, increasing your energy efficiency by requiring less energy to be spent on cooling. It can also prolong the life of your roof by lessening the damage caused by the sunlight.
Cool roofs are generally made of light colors, as bright colors reflect more electromagnetic energy than dark roofs. These roofs can expand when they have absorbed more heat. They can also contract when the temperature is average, naturally, without breaking. Cool roofs also reduce pollution and the emission of excess heat to the environment.
Newly built industrial, commercial, and residential buildings have been utilizing green roofs*, which are designed to be covered with plants. Containing a waterproof layer, drainage system, roof barrier, and a space to grow, these green roofs can contain entire gardens, some complete with water features.
Green roofs create a sustainable alternative to traditional roofing and can be very gentle on the environment. Many green roofs use recycled content and synthetic materials to reduce the amount of waste. The environmentally conscious aesthetic can be found combining attractiveness with practicality, benefitting the entire surrounding ecosystem. Green roofs are long-lasting and require less maintenance than traditional roofing.
Since the beginning of time, people have been covering their roofs with shingles and some sort of metal. The use of metal isn’t recent, but the development of innovative technologies using metal roofing are. Steel, aluminum, copper, and a variety of other alloys are the primary components used in metal roofing. The long-lasting durability, and the ability to be highly customizable have contributed to this widespread popularity.
With an exceptionally long lifespan of up to 70 years, the only maintenance needed to keep metal roofing in good working condition is making sure the aesthetics and functionalities are well-maintained.
Solar energy has long been the future of roofing. Thus far, this has mostly been completed by using solar panels installed on top of existing roofs and shingles. Solar shingles* take that technology a step further by combining photovoltaics with other roofing materials.
These shingles will enable homeowners to basically make their entire roofs into huge solar panels. While maximizing energy gains, this also allows many possibilities for building modern-looking roofs.
One popular trend over the last couple years has been an increase in the demand of synthetic roofing materials. A good fit for homeowners, they are products that are more durable and can replicate wood texture and the natural color of traditional shingles or cedar shakes.
Synthetic roofing is polymer-based and made from plastic and rubber. It is easier to maintain and has a lifespan of up to 50 years. These synthetic materials are also very resistant to weather and can also come with Class 4 impact resistance, which is the toughest level of impact resistance that a roofing product can have.
Robotics are revolutionizing the ways that roofing materials are made. Rovers are being used increasingly to examine damaged roofs and estimate costs, removing potential dangers to humans carrying out these tasks. These robots are also capable of installing certain aspects of roofing replacements.
The use of drones is also a growing trend in the roofing industry. Drones offer protection against falls and fatalities and allow inspectors to examine from a distance, while also capturing video and imaging for extended looks. These images can capture images of damages and give inspectors specific dimensions needed in the problem area.
While making life easier for roofers, it also ensures that the whole process is going to continue to be streamlined in the future.

Do you have a low-slope roof on your home? When it comes time for replacement, you’ll have several options to consider when selecting a roofing material. Before you get started, it helps if you understand the basics of roof pitches and what type of roofing is appropriate for your home. In this blog, we’ll tell you all about low-slope roofs and some of the roofing options available when you need a replacement.
While no roof should be completely flat to allow for proper drainage, a low-slope roof is often referred to as a flat roof. They are nearly flat with a slight pitch, but they are not steep enough to put shingles on. When you need to replace a low-slope roof, you will need a low-slope roofing system with slopes between 2:12 and 4:12 of the run.
Your roof’s pitch is a ratio between the number of inches or feet it rises upward for every 12 inches or feet it extends across. So a roof with a 4/12 pitch will be 4 inches or feet up for every 12 inches or feet out.
A typical steep-slope roof uses gravity so the water over pour the breaks and fasteners in the shingles until it flows off the roof. Gravity can’t help a low-sloped roof or flat roof to drain properly, so the roof needs a watertight membrane that extends to the drains or edge of the roof.
Traditional low-slope or flat roofs were constructed with built-up tar and gravel.
This type of roofing raises many cost, performance, and environmental problems. Today, low-slope roofs are covered with a continuous membrane that is applied to the roof in sheets and bonded with adhesives or heat welding. This helps protect your roof from standing water. Another option for low-slope or flat roofs is metal roofs of copper or tin, though these materials are pricier than using a water-tight membrane.
Since low-slope roofs are harder to drain than steep-slopes where gravity is doing the work, the roofing materials for both types of roofs are not the same. While asphalt or slate shingles look great, they won’t work for your low-slope roof because they do not drain well which can cause a host of problems. However, there are many suitable alternatives for low slope roofing.
There are five commonly utilized roofing systems for low-slope roofs. Here’s a rundown on their features and where they perform best.
Built-up roofing membranes are made with bitumen and felts. The membranes are laid out on a base sheet fashioned to the roof. BUR roofing is used less today as we have so many more efficient and environmentally sound options.
Modified bitumen is strengthened by adding polymers like Styrene-butadiene (SBS) or atactic polypropylene (APP). These substances give bitumen rubber-like properties. The asphalt is modified for flexibility and built over a heavy fiberglass or polyester base for sturdiness.
Then, the modified bitumen sheets are attached with adhesive and heat.
PVC low-slope roofs are a common feature in restaurants. PVC is also bendable and will cool your house during summer because it conducts heat poorly.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is usually a white, one-ply membrane. It is lightweight, chemical-resistant, and has robust impact resistance. TPO low-slope roofing systems are used often in commercial industries. Homeowners love TPO membranes because they reflect heat and keep the home’s interior cool.
EPDM rubber roof systems are fastened to an insulation board. The rubber covering can also be attached using boulders or ballast. EPDM rubber roof systems are usually black, although white is also available. This type of roof can be used in climates with both hot and cold weather.
EPDM, PVC, and TPO can all be used for residential roofing. Consider the appearance that you want and what rooms are below the roof. If you can see the roof out the windows, you’re probably better off avoiding the white membranes because you will be able to see when it starts to weather or become dirty.

Once your new roof is installed, there are some steps you can take to prolong its lifespan. Most importantly, regularly check your roof for anything that might cause problems. Keeping the shingles clean and free of debris can help prevent algae and moss from forming on the surface and compromising the roof’s integrity. Regularly cleaning your gutters and trimming any overhanging
branches can help prevent future damage.
If you’ve used metal roofing, keep an eye out for signs of rust. If left untreated, rust spots can spread and lead to larger areas of damage. If caught early, rust damage can usually be removed, and the metal can be restored
Before your contractor leaves, be sure to get any additional instructions on recommended maintenance for your roofing materials, such as sealants. Also, be sure to understand what maintenance you’ll need to do for the specifications of your roof warranty. Ask for warranty in writing, and make sure you have all necessary contact information.

Harvesting the energy of the sun to power your home or business is a great idea that is good for both the environment and your wallet. Installing solar panels on your rooftop not only has the power to drastically reduce your monthly electricity bill but it also conserves energy and reduces your carbon footprint.
Installing solar panels on your property has never been more affordable than it is now. Solar costs continue to decrease and the rising number of installations completed daily continues to climb by companies in the solar technology industry which is continuing to boom. If you have been considering going solar, now is the perfect time to do it.
As you begin your installation process, here are some things to consider and include in your to-do list.
Whip out your calculator and start calculating how much energy you will need to power your property. You can do this by taking a look at your older monthly electricity bills, as they contain how much energy you typically consume every month.
You can also use online solar calculators to help you determine how much power you’ll need on a monthly or yearly basis.
Before you go ahead with installing solar panels on your roof, you have to consider and examine the state of your roof. How old is your roof? Is your roof worn out or damaged? Does it need repairs? How much weight can your roof handle?
You need to answer these questions before installing solar panels as the panels can be heavy and putting too much weight on an old or weak roof can cause a cave in, and that is an incredibly dangerous and incredibly costly situation.
Besides cost and danger, it just doesn’t make sense to install solar panels that may last for more than twenty years on a roof that won’t last another five.
When it comes to installing solar power, you have the choice between leasing the solar system or purchasing your own system upfront. It all depends on your budget.
However, it is more cost-efficient to own your own solar system because you will save more money in the long run once you have fully paid off the initial cost of purchasing the system. Whereas with leasing, the company you lease from will own the solar system while you pay them a rate for the electricity.
You are still saving money and the environment whether you lease or rent your solar panels, you just need to decide which one best suits your financial needs.
So now you know what you take into consideration in regards to going solar. The next step is to have your roof assessed by a roofing professional to make sure it is strong enough and has enough life left to hold up solar panels for years to come.
