Environmentally Friendly Roofing for your Northern Virginia Home

Going green is the new buzz phrase surrounding residential and commercial contractors. With the recent increase in home and commercial utility costs, consumers are searching for "green" options that will not only lessen their effect on the environment but drive down the monthly cost of living as well. Design Pro Exteriors, Northern Virginia's premier exterior home improvement contractor, has led the way in green products and design.

Residential roofing throughout Fairfax and Loudon County, in such towns as Herndon, Leesburg, Manassas, and Springfield, Virginia, have been tested by environmental specialists for their effect on the environment. When precipitation hits your roof it collects in your home's gutter system resulting in its eventual deposit in the soil around your house. Most roofing tile are composed of toxins that have been proven harmful to the environment. Such roofing ultimately ends up in landfills where if further decomposes into the earth's soil and groundwater. According to Going Green USA, "the construction and maintenance of buildings are responsible for 40% of U.S. energy use and 30% of wood and raw materials.

Traditional roofing materials offer a relatively short life expectancy compared to green roofing. The roofing business is based around the need for re-roofing. Not only is re-roofing extremely expensive but it counteracts our commitment to live greener lives by sending tons of roofing materials to landfills each year.

Green roofing tile is made of lightweight composite materials. The composition of the tile assures extreme durability while offering a desirable aesthetic appeal as well. Unlike traditional roofing tile, green roofs require less architectural support do to their construction and thus cut cost and lessen the use of additional building materials. The recycled materials used in manufacturing tiles reduce landfill content on both ends of the spectrum.
