Rood Coating
Want a way to bring the temperature down inside your home?  I know I do!  The white APV eCoolRoof roof coating system does just this.  It includes a Kynar Aquatec topcoat and an elastomeric acrylic base-coat. The makers say the system extends the life of a roof, lowers indoor temperatures, and results in up to a 63% reduction in energy usage. The product also has low VOC content and resists UV ray degradation, staining, algae, and fungal growth. It hasn't been Energy Star approved just yet, but is expected to qualify in the near future.

I'd say this is a product to seriously consider when re-roofing your home, especially here in Arizona!

 
 
Dimensional Shingles
I know that the roof of my house is not a top priority... but it should!  Especially here in Arizona with our extreme high temperatures along with the monsoons that sometimes take us by surprise.  We've spoke previously in other blogs how important it is to protect one of your biggest investments, your home with a good roof.

The shingles shown here are dimensional asphalt shingles that stand out due to their three dimensional look.  They come in a wide variety of colors and are more than just eye-catching; they are insulators for your home.  They hold a higher R value than any other form of asphalt shingle.  Owens Corning, a leading manufacturer in the roofing industry, recently as issued a lifetime limited warranty on these shingles rather than the standard 30 year warranty.

Thinking about investing in a beautiful long lasting roof?  I know I am.  By choosing an upgraded product like these dimensional asphalt shingles I've added value to my home and given an assurance that my home is well protected from weather and sun exposure.
