Most roofs have a finite life span. When they near the end of it, they’ll usually begin showing signs of wear and tear and require more intensive upkeep. Still, many factors affect the longevity of your roof and knowing them may give you insight on how to extend it. At Ethos General Contractors, your trusted local roofing company, we wanted to discuss the main factors that affect your roof’s longevity and it's service life.
Your roof can be vague in telling you what’s going on with it. The warning signs are often indirect and yet the danger of ignoring them is real. Addressing these issues, however, when they’re still small and inconsequential can save you money and time. You just need to know what they are and what they mean. Ethos General Contractors lists four way your roof might be trying to tell you something.
It’s tempting to do a roofing project on your own. While it may seem like you’re saving money, several problems immediately become apparent, like sourcing equipment, materials and the learning curve associated with repairs and replacements. It’s also easy to commit potentially costly mistakes.
You can avoid several of these when you work with a professional roofing company. Ethos General Contractors discusses these head-scratchers below.
The Solar Reflective Index (SRI) is a measurement system that shows how well a roofing technology blocks solar radiation. At the same time, it takes into account the emissivity of a product, or its ability to re-emit the heat it absorbs to cool itself. In many ways, the SRI is a useful metric, especially when you are buying a highly energy-efficient residential or commercial roofing system. Ethos General Contractors, one of the top roofers in our area, explains how this number can benefit you.
