How Cool Roofs Can Benefit You

April 16, 2018 by Tonia Hornsby

When undertaking a commercial roofing project, utility and cost efficiency are important concerns. Building costs, labor fees and material expenses all have to be accounted for. To help you make the most of your investment, we discuss a big saving tip in today’s post that can help your budget: cool roofs.

Cool roofs, which are usually painted light in color, reflect sunlight away from your home rather than absorbing it. In doing so, they provide the following benefits:

Saving Energy

A reflective roof keeps your interior cool, which reduces the burden on your HVAC system and thus minimizes your energy consumption. If you have a flat roof, adding vegetation on your roofing system can further increase your ventilation and regulate the heat created by the sun. Built-up roofing (BUR) systems are ideal for vegetation. We install at least three layers of fiberglass membranes coated with asphalt, which are excellent at withstanding prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Better Quality of Life

Having a cool roof makes for a more comfortable living space. Reducing the heat levels under your commercial roof can also promote better productivity if its industrial space is utilized.

An Environmental Responsibility

A cool roof can also bring comfort to its surroundings as it helps lower the temperature in the area and around other buildings. This is especially beneficial to older buildings and electrical grids that require a cooler environment to prevent overheating.

In addition to our commercial roofing services, we also provide residential roofing and gutter services. You can contact us at (601) 326-2755 . We serve Jackson, MS, and the surrounding areas.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Damien was my roofer and is excellent and very professional. My experience with Holden overseeing this whole project has always been thorough. I’ve never had a problem with this company at all. I highly recommend!

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

Great Company and staff. They did a great job with our roof replacement. Damien Pierre kept us aware about everything that was going on. He did a great job managing the process. I was really impressed with that young man.

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
