Keeping It Green by Keeping Your Roof

With all the talk about the “green economy,” conserving energy, reducing landfill waste, buying eco-friendly products and recycling, you might wonder, “What’s the most environmentally sound roof?” The answer is easy: It is the one already on your house or building. According to the US Green Building Council, 2.5 pounds of debris is created for every square foot of new building construction. Also, construction materials and demolition waste constitute 40 percent of the total solid waste stream in the United States. The best way to reduce waste and avoid the energy consumption required for producing new materials is to maintain and repair your roof.

Wagner Roofing offers a Roof Maintenance Agreement with semi-annual inspections and repairs to prolong the life of your roof. Typically, the service technicians will inspect all surfaces, flashings, drains/gutters and make minor repairs while onsite. By keeping your roof performing and not leaking, you will also avoid the cost of repairing decking and interiors and all the consequential waste generated. And best of all, a performing roof means you will not incur the cost of replacing a roof. Keep your greenbacks in your pocket by keeping your roof maintained regularly. Now that’s some easy green action we can all support.
