Before deciding on a roofing material, it’s important to do your research.
There are several options when it comes to choosing roofing materials for a reroofing project, so researching the characteristics and benefits of each type will help you decide which will work best for your particular situation. Here’s some information on the most common types of roofing materials:
Energy-efficient
Not only are energy-efficient roofs an observable display of a building’s commitment to environmental friendliness, but they also help reduce energy bills by lowering operating costs and qualify the building for LEED certification—a nationally recognized, third-party authorization of a building’s ability to meet the highest standards for sustainable procedures and performance. Once a building is LEED Certified, its owner is often eligible for tax rebates, zoning allowances and various other perks.
Fiberglass shingles
Comprising more than 80 percent of the roofing market, fiberglass shingles offer a Class A fire rating and aesthetic durability.
Traditional hot asphalt
In the past, the main drawback of asphalt roofs was their odor, but industry innovation has produced low-fuming asphalt and additives that have virtually eliminated this issue. The principal benefits of asphalt roofs are their cost-effectiveness and durability.
Single-ply membrane
Categorized as environmentally-friendly roof systems, single-ply membrane roofs can cut heating and cooling costs by up to 40 percent when properly designed. They’re also completely recyclable, which adds even more LEED credits to an already certified building.
Cool roofs
Many commercial building owners are taking advantage of the cool roof process, which entails applying a white acrylic coating to a building’s existing roof. This fluid-applied coating saves building owners money not only because it’s less expensive than roof replacement, but also because it has numerous energy saving qualities—the white acrylic is highly reflective, which naturally lowers a building’s temperature during hot weather. Besides these immediate financial benefits, cool roofs also qualify for LEED certification and Title 24 compliance, extend the life of a building’s existing roof, and fall under the category of “maintenance,” which enables them to be fully expensed in a single year.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is vital for any successful business, but it’s even more important for roofing contractors that have earned Diamond Certified. For KITA Construction Group, LLC, the best way to keep clients happy is to work closely with them on every aspect of their projects. “Each customer approaches us with different interests and expectations, so we take the time to learn those details and give them the necessary support,” says President Peter Kim. “Ultimately, providing high-quality service is what drives and motivates us.”
KITA Construction Group has been providing roof repair, maintenance, and replacement services for commercial and residential clients throughout the Bay Area since 1979. The company has the training and equipment to work on all types of roofing systems, and it’s also qualified to take on related home improvement projects like painting, remodeling/renovation, and water/fire damage restoration.
Unlike roofing companies that sacrifice the quality of their work by hiring inexperienced installers and using low-quality materials, KITA Construction Group employs highly skilled roofing professionals and installs superior materials made by industry-leading manufacturers. “There’s a clear difference between just working on roofs and properly knowing the trade per manufacturer specifications and local regulatory codes,” says Mr. Kim. “Our employees undergo roofing system specification training on a regular basis, and they’re certified to install products made by Duro-Last, CertainTeed, and GAF.”
Ultimately, Mr. Kim sees KITA Construction Group dedication to communication as one of its most important attributes. “In this industry, business is transacted person to person, and consistency in communication builds customer relationships to another level with trust and respect,” he says. “Our main focus is communicating with our clients at all times, even after the work is complete. This allows us to complete their projects per their expectations and build long-term relationships with them.”.
