Why Discuss Add-ons with your Savannah Residential Roofing Contractor

Once you are sanguine of your choice and you have worked out the costs with your Savannah residential roofing contractor, you should consider some add-ons. While we are calling them add-ons, they are indeed quintessential in a few ways. Every homeowner wants a sturdy and reliable roof that looks good and is easy to maintain which will be well insulated and should last a lifetime. A roof doesn’t actually last a lifetime considering average human lifespan but it can easily last decades.

You may want a standard roof with pretty basic features or you may want a swankier roof with some splendid fixtures. Have you ever imagined having skylights or perhaps a green roof? Here is why you should discuss these add-ons with your Savannah residential roofing contractor.

•    Let us begin with skylight. A skylight is a cool feature to have on the roof, also the ceiling as it is a see through. You can have any design, you can have additional features for the skylight and you can opt for one that opens. There are skylights that cannot be opened but have a lid to block off sunlight when needed. Skylights allow natural light in. When they can be opened, they facilitate natural ventilation. These are utilities that you may want whereas many homeowners simply go for skylights because they look amazing. A skylight doesn’t have to cost a fortune if you find the right Savannah residential roofing contractor.

•    Have you ever considered a green roof? A green roof can be described in two ways. One, it is made of eco friendly materials. Two, the roof is actually green, with vegetation and other organic produce. Either way is good but you can also have both. A green roof is cooler, not just in terms of style or aesthetics but it is actually cooler because it wouldn’t get as hot as inorganic materials and a roof without any eco friendly features. A green roof is more utilitarian. It has an impact on the curb appeal and also on the resale value. You would save money on your energy bills. You may not need as much insulation as needed on other roofs that lay bare to endure the wrath of the sun.

•    You should also consider coatings. There are coatings to protect the roof against weather, there are coatings that can make asphalt roofs look like slate roofs, metal roofs or even rubber roofs, there are coatings for specific protection against moss, algae and mold or you could simply get an additional coating to prevent the seams from blowing out.
