Green roofing services can simultaneously reduce your energy bills and help the environment.
Most industries are changing to meet customer demands for Greener products and services, and the roofing industry is no exception. “It’s challenging to be Green in this industry, specifically because ‘Green’ isn’t clearly defined for roofers, but many companies are doing their best to offer eco-friendly services,” says Cameron Radonich, general manager of Los Gatos Roofing in San Jose.
Before you decide to hire an environmentally-friendly contractor, consider the following information to determine if Green roofing is right for you.
Repair.
Repair is almost always a Greener option than replacement, and it’s usually more cost-efficient as well. Make sure your roofing contractor is able to honestly present your options instead of defaulting to replacement.
Products.
For a roofing material to be considered Green, several factors must be taken into account, including its composition and manufacturing process. Clay tile, for example, is one of the most popular Green roofing options because of the way it’s naturally produced. “Clay tiles are made from the earth, and when it’s time to tear them off, they can be returned to the earth,” explains Mr. Radonich.
Energy efficiency.
Energy-efficient roofing products include cool roofs, roof coatings and even living roofs that prevent energy absorption. “Radiant barrier products can also make your home more energy efficient,” adds Mr. Radonich. “They keep radiant heat from entering your home and reduce attic temperatures so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as often.”<
strong>Insulation.
New and existing roofs can benefit from additional roof insulation, regardless of the climate in which you live. Well-insulated roofs keep home temperatures more stable and lower heating and cooling costs.
State codes and manufacturer recommendations.
“One of the best ways to be Green is to follow the new California energy and building codes,” shares Mr. Radonich. In fact, when roofers don’t install roofs to code or to manufacturers’ specifications, they can void energy efficiency ratings that are promised by the manufacturers. Correct installation preserves design features that preserve energy.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it's even more important for roofing companies that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Los Gatos Roofing, the key to achieving and maintaining customer satisfaction is providing a single point of contact for every project–a journeyman roofer who is responsible for the completion of each phase, from beginning to end. "This approach allows the homeowner to follow up with the same person throughout the entire job," says General Manager Cameron Radonich. "We want to make sure our clients are satisfied with every aspect of their roofing projects."
Unlike roofing companies that limit their services to installations and force clients to hire separate contractors for repairs and maintenance, Los Gatos Roofing offers a full range of services that are designed to optimize customer satisfaction. "We obtain permits from local municipalities, work with suppliers to get the best materials and much more," says Mr. Radonich. "After every job, we want the client to feel like we took care of all the details and did the best possible work for them."
To further differentiate itself from its competition, Los Gatos Roofing provides each crew with its own dump truck, which allows them to clean up jobsites at the end of each work day and haul away waste instead of leaving it for the end of the project. "We always clean up the premises and use a magnet sweep to pick up nails and metal," adds Mr. Radonich. "We also don't leave dumpsters or piles of debris in driveways or yards. We're very respectful of our clients' properties."
