Cool roofs can increase energy efficiency, reduce utility bills, and help a commercial building qualify for small business energy tax credits. While it’s possible to retrofit a cool roof to existing buildings, the best way to maximize its benefits is by installing one during construction. Cool roofs are designed to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat, lowering the load on your HVAC system and helping you save on energy costs.

To roof installation the process, a professional roofing contractor will conduct an initial assessment of your building’s current roof structure. They’ll closely examine the condition of your roof and identify potential underlying issues. Based on their findings, they’ll discuss material options and provide a cost estimate for the project.

Once the prep work is complete, the roofing team will remove the old shingles and replace damaged wood. They’ll also add venting systems like ridge and attic fans to support proper airflow and energy efficiency. To ensure a seamless look, they’ll install flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights.

When laying new shingles, they start at the low-sloped areas and work upward in overlapping rows. They’ll use sealant tape along the seams to prevent water from seeping through and causing leaks.

The roofing team will then apply an underlayment to protect the new shingles from moisture and insects. Depending on the type of roof you have, the underlayment may be made from a waterproof membrane or a layer of asphalt granules.
