Some changes to be made include an entire overhaul and new roof, while some only require adding on to the existing roof. Here are 5 great ways to make your roof more eco-friendly:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>White Roof<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most straightforward ways to make your roofing more green is to go white. Replace all of your old dark colored roof shingles for white or light tan colored ones. This change is simple but very effective as it results in much lower electricity bills. Not only will the light shingles keep the sun from beating down too intensely on the top of your home, they will also help keep the interior of your home cooler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solar Panels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Solar panels are the perfect add-on option if your existing roof is still in good or excellent condition and you would like to keep things as are. The panels can be added by a qualified <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryroofandsolar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area solar company<\/a> quickly and cleanly right on top of your existing roofing. Solar panels are an excellent way to save money while going green because they have been proven to drastically lower electricity bills. They gather energy from the sun during the day and harness that power for your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metal Roofs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A metal roof is really a great idea for all kinds of homeowners because it comes with so many benefits. Metal roofs last a very long time and are known to be extremely durable. They also reflect the sun, so that your home stays cooler during the day. A bonus is that metal roofs are in-style at the moment, so you can make your house trendier at the same time that you are helping the environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clay Roof Tiles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A clay roof is a roof that is made from clay or slate tiles that are naturally occurring. Spanish style homes often feature this kind of roof, whose benefits include long lasting properties as well as highly desired aesthetic. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryrooftile.com\/\">Bay Area roofing contractor<\/a> that is experienced with unique roofing types is essential when implementing something like this to make sure that the job is done well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Roofing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another add-on option is called a green roof. This option includes installing a garden on the top of your roof, with a variety of plants and flowers to assist in clean-air production and sun management. Though this isn&#8217;t a service offered here at Century Roof &amp; Tile, having a roof inspection before starting a green roof is important.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact\u00a0Our Bay Area Solar Company Today<\/h2>\n<p>When is comes to things like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centuryroofandsolar.com\/about-us\/#products\">solar roofing installations<\/a> and adding re-roofing projects, calling a professional is very important.
