Top Your Home With Fabulous Green Roofing



Cool Roof Technology


CertainTeed® Landmark Solaris IR® solar reflective roofing shingles offer protection from the sun, impact, wind and algae. They are ecologically smart, beautifully durable and architecturally ideal for sunny climates or anywhere solar heat is a challenge. The new Landmark Solaris IR® shingles decrease the temperature of the roof by as much as 20 percent and come in a wide range of eye-catching colors.
 
 


Classic Steel Shingles


METALWORKS® Steel Shingles by TAMKO® create the classic beauty of slate, wood and tile with the contemporary protection of metal. The shingles are designed with a four-way locking system that stays weather tight on the roof and comes with a 50-year limited warranty for added peace of mind. Their cool colors (cool colors are rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) as being energy-efficient roofing system colors) recently received ENERGY STAR® qualification, which makes them eligible for federal tax credits.


Concrete Roof Tiles


Modeled after the highest quality hand-split cedar shakes, MonierLifetile® Madera concrete roof tiles are flexible enough to complement many architectural styles and are available in wide range of realistic colors. Because MonierLifetile® Madera is a concrete tile product, it offers a Class A fire rating and is resistant to hail, snow and high winds, making it durable as well as beautiful. It's backed by their industry-best Limited Lifetime Fully Transferable Non-Prorated Warranty. Please note that MonierLifetile® offers regional specific tile and roof systems.


Sustainable & Durable


EcoStar® manufactures premium steep-slope roofing products using rubber and plastic technology to ensure highly flexible, sustainable and environmentally friendly shingles. EcoStar's Majestic Slate® Designer Series is available in three unique shapes — beaver tail, beveled and chisel point — to give your home a unique architectural profile. The tiles are half the weight of traditional slate; yet offer superior durability and long-term protection backed by EcoStar's® 50-year Gold Star Warranty.


Stylish Composite Slate


InSpire Roofing® composite slates are created from molds cast from real slate to captue genuine details like peaks, plateaus and curves. Its color-through properties and UV stability ensure "stay-true" richness of traditional slate colors such as Emerald Green and Pewter Grey, bold colors like Terra Cotta and sophisticated Grey/Black blended tiles. Strength and durability are achieved using an exclusive 100% recyclable blend of virgin resins and natural limestone. Unlike natural slate, InSpire® won't break or delaminate. With its timeless ambience, InSpire Roofing® complements an array of exteriors, including brick, stone veneer, stucco, premium vinyl, fiber cement and timber.


Cool Architectural Shingles


Thanks to modern reflective technology, you can join the green revolution with GAF-Elk Timberline® Cool Series Shingles. Their highly reflective shingles use specially designed roofing granules to reduce temperatures in your attic, so your home will stay cooler in the summer to help reduce air conditioning costs. Not only that, Timberline® Cool Series shingles are made with their patented StainGuard® algae protection to assure the beauty of your roof against unsightly blue-green algae! All four available colors are ENERGY STAR® qualified, and two — cool bankwood and cool antique slate — contribute to LEED points because of their higher solar reflectance.
