Key Danger Signals of a Failing Roof

There are a variety of conditions that can cause significant damage to your roof, and it is important for you to recognize the signs of a roof needing replacement or repair. Conditions like attic leakage caused by wind-driven rain or an ice build-up can occur because inadequate shingle underlayment, while poor ventilation and extreme temperatures can cause blistering of paint and mold and mildew stains on ceilings and walls. Additionally, poor ventilation can lead to decay of the building’s exterior or siding. Shingles can also age, causing your roof to look dirty or even lose shingles. Ultimately, an aged or damaged roof can lead to excessive energy costs.

The Importance of Roof Ventilation

The following are just some of the reasons why roof ventilation is so important to any building:

• Validates the warranty
• Fits with solar systems
• Extends the roof’s life
• Maintains curb appeal
• Conserving energy
• Removing trapped gas
• Reduces moisture buildup

A new analysis by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy indicates that solar homes sell twice as fast as homes without solar panels. The increase in home value comes from both the perception of increased resale value and the actual energy savings produced by the solar array.

A $1 reduction in annual electricity bills translates into a$20 increase in home value, which means that saving $1,000 per year in energy costs could mean a $20,000 increase in home value. The DOE paper states that solar makes “your house more affordable to more people.“

Shaughnessy Contracting, in cooperation with CentroLease Solar Financing, offers customers no money down financing for top quality residential solar installations. CentroLease is the only Original Equipment Manufacturer backed financing option available in the solar industry. Aside from saving on the cost of installation, our solar installations also save money in monthly utilities bills, which means that your home's value can increase substantially. By saving $1,000 on electric bills each year, a home's value could increase as much as $20,000.

Arizona is currently considered a global leader in the implementation of solar power in commercial and residential roofing. Including California and New Jersey, Arizona is already among the nation's Top 3 in megawatt production, and by the close of 2012 it will be second in the U.S. The state's solar power initiative not only produces jobs and helps the environment, but it also saves homeowners money, which is something that everyone can appreciate. Arizona homeowners not only have the advantage of a 25% tax credit on installations that cost up to $4,000, or basically a $1,000 tax credit combined with a 30% Renewable Energy Federal Tax credit.
