Now that the hot summer is cooling down, you might be thinking about making a few updates to your home - like replacing your roof. As a homeowner, nothing is more important than durability and practicality, so if you’re looking for an ideal type of roof to install, you might want to consider a metal roof. Here’s why:

They have a long lifespan. For homeowners, there’s almost no greater feeling than knowing that you’ve made an investment that’s worthwhile. And when you choose a metal roof for your next home improvement project, a good investment is exactly what you’ll be getting. Most metal roofs can last for more than 50 years!

They are ideal for all types of climates. When you live in a state that has four seasons, like Connecticut, you want to be sure your roof can withstand extreme heat, heavy rainfalls, and blistering winds. Rest assured that metal roofs are durable, waterproof, and will protect you and your family from any unexpected weather that heads your way!

They are environmentally friendly. Selecting an eco-friendly option for your roof is one way to save you money in the long run. Luckily, metal roofs are also environmentally friendly in the sense that they have the ability to reflect light and heat. And what this means is that you can give your air conditioner a little break during those warmer months of the year thanks to your new metal roof!

There you have it - a roof that lasts through all four seasons and will stand strong for many years to come! If you’re past the decision-making process and feel that a metal roof is right for you, contact Phil’s Main Roofing.

Green Roofs: An Overview

We're sure you've heard about ways that you can go green around the home (we even discussed a few earlier this week!) but did you ever think that you could be eco-friendly just by having a certain kind of roof? Well, you can! But we don't mean by choosing one material over another - we mean by actually having a "green" roof, plant life and all!

As described by the EPA, green roofs are those that have a layer of vegetation directly on top. And since they are a place where life can thrive, they offer several environmental benefits to the area around them - not to mention the benefits they can bring to the property owner who has one! Between providing shade to the property, reducing air pollution and aiding in efforts to minimize the effect of global warming alone, green roofs can be one of the greatest influences on your approach to making your home or commercial building more eco-friendly.

So what's in it for you? By having a green roof (so long as your property's structure supports it), you can prolong the lifespan of your roof, reduce the amount of runoff that occurs from stormwater and even improve the health of those inside! Although the costs of having a green roof installed may deter you from the project, it is certainly something to consider if you're looking for new, out of the box ways to work on your green efforts and improve your home or building all around.

Now we want to know - what are your thoughts? Be sure to visit us on our Facebook, Twitter or Google+ page to let us know what you think about going green with a green roof!
