  ROOF REPLACEMENT

  Did you know? The average house size in America is roughly 2,000 square feet, with older homes being a bit smaller than that and newer homes being larger. However, the size of the roof can vary depending on how many levels or stories a home has, the slope and type of the roof and complexity of its architectural design. The average lifespan of a shingle roof is based on a number of factors. Longevity depends on the climate of an area, the way the original installation was handled and its selection, and whether ongoing care and maintenance have been part of a regular routine. More importantly, the lifespan of a shingle roof is greatly affected by the overall materials used, proper ventilation and other factors such as gutters with proper drainage. According to the US Census Bureau, average length of home ownership is currently on a decline but quite likely you will have to deal with your roofing shingles reaching the end of their life expectancy and a new roof. Needless to say, getting a roof replacement is expensive. RK Roofing Company – the best option for everyone We, at RK Roofing use only the highest quality materials paired with quality workmanship and exceptional attention to detail, all while in accordance to local and state codes and regulations.

  ROOF VENTILATION

  Roof Ventilation Construction practices and products have changed dramatically in recent decades. Windows and doors are more airtight, insulation levels have increased and the use of house wraps and vapor retarders is commonplace. Today’s houses are more airtight and that helps save energy. But these changes have created new issues with indoor air quality and attic ventilation. As construction has changed, code requirements have not always kept up. Heat or moisture problems can develop in the attic, even when the contractor has installed an attic ventilation system up to code. At the same time, shingle manufacturers are requiring “proper attic ventilation” to validate shingle warranties. That is why it’s never been more important for contractors to know, understand and apply all the aspects of attic ventilation. RK Roofing as pro-active contractor always inspects and corrects (if necessary) your attic ventilation system as it directly impacts your roof performance over time. Principles of roof/attic ventilation: Ventilation is a system of intake and exhaust Air follows the path of least resistance Air should enter the attic at the lowest point possible As the air heats up and rises it should exit at or near the ridge Balanced ventilation system means at least 50% of the required vent area must be intake and 50% exhaust Make sure intake & exhaust vents are clear of any debris Use insulation baffles as required to the air path Difference between ventilating Hip and Gable roofs Use of air channels for ventilating cathedral ceilings Preventing ice dams Proper ventilating of knee wall area Knowing which products to use for the best performance; Ridge vent, static (mushroom) vent, power fan, gable louvers, wind turbines We provide a verity of top brands currently available on contractors’ market to best suit your home needs: Air Vent Inc.

  ENERGY GREEN ROOFS

  Green Energy Roofs There are lots of choices you must make as a homeowner, from the smallest decisions about how to decorate your home to the larger ones, like what type of energy efficient roofing to have installed on your home. Whether you’re choosing an energy efficient roof for a newly constructed home or looking to replace your current roof with energy efficient roofing materials, you’ll find that there are several types of residential roofs that will help you cut home energy consumption. You will need to weigh your options and consider a variety of factors, such as the climate in which we live, the type of aesthetic you’re going for, and what energy efficient roofing features are most important to you. No matter what type of energy efficient roof shingles you are considering, one of the first things to look for is ENERGY STAR® roofing. This certifies that the materials that you have selected are energy efficient. Solar reflectance and emittance is one of the biggest keys to whether energy efficient roofing materials are certified by Energy Star. Roofing that reflects the sun’s energy and releases it into the surrounding air keeps the upper floors of a home cooler and less energy is required when cooling a home. The color of a roof also plays a part in whether the roofing is energy efficient. Lighter roof colors will reflect more of the sun’s energy, while darker colors tend to absorb heat, which can then transfer to attics, where it can seep down into the home. You will want to consider the color of your roofing materials for more than aesthetic value. Asphalt shingles create a lower maintenance, energy efficient roof. Homeowners can choose from a range of colors and designs for a more unique feel to their roof. One downside to asphalt shingles is that they tend to become more easily damaged in wind and storms. Algae growth is another maintenance concern, though there are preventative coatings available that can help. With new innovations always on the horizon and improvements regularly made to existing energy efficient roof options, homeowners should always research their options when replacing a roof or building a new structure. Carefully considering your needs and looking for ENERGY STAR® roofing materials will help you find the right roof for your home. By understanding the energy efficient roofing materials available and how various energy efficient roof types can come into play, you can make a positive impact on the environment. With an array of colors available, Owens Corning® COOL Roof Collection shingles help reflect your personal style while also helping to deliver energy-saving benefits. Take advantage of 30% tax credit on both the purchase and installation of qualifying products in renewable technologies such as solar electric property, residential solar water heating, qualified small wind energy and qualified geothermal heat pump energy, among others. ENERGY STAR® metal roofing is another popular option for homes. Metal is an energy efficient roofing option that is a good choice for many budgets and typically quick to install. With a little care and upkeep, a metal roof is a long lasting, energy efficient roof that can add a great look to your home. Keep your Attic Cool and prevent heat and moisture from reaching critical levels in your attic with Solar Star® Ventilation Fans. Your attic stays cool and dry while you enjoy greater comfort in your home, lower utility bills and prolonged roof life. Uni-Solar’s shingles and standing seam roofing panels are installed much like conventional roofing products, yet they incorporate triple-junction amorphous silicon thin-film PVs to generate electricity. The company’s PV shingles are installed alongside conventional three-tab shingles, whereas the company’s PV laminate can be integrated into standing seam roofing. They also offer the PowerTilt PV system that uses thin-film PVs on an angled lightweight mounting system.
