We all know our roofs are what keep us safe from sun, snow, lightning, and rain; our home's final layer of protection from the elements. Waiting until water is pouring in unexpectedly is dangerous as well as costly. Old, rotten roofs are unsightly and often allow significant damage to the structure of the home before a major leakage event occurs. In order to ensure a roof is still performing as it should, we recommend a roof inspection at least two times a year: spring and fall. Look for signs of sagging, water damage, dark spots, and outside light showing through.

The most energy-efficient homes cannot rely on one high performing product alone. Rather, they combine a variety of systems to create a thermal barrier between the inside and the outside. The U.S. Department of Energy states that 50-70% of the energy consumed in a home goes to heating in the winter and/or cooling in the summer. Unfortunately, in many homes a large percentage of this investment is wasted, as air slips through the cracks. Thus, investing to improve the building envelope of your home without considering insulation can leave significant energy cost savings on the table.
