The Atlanta residential roofing company of Cranor Roofing has been providing residential roofing services since 1994 throughout the North Metro Atlanta area.We specialize in new roofs, roof replacement, cedar shake roofs, tile roofs, asphalt roofs and much more.
Asphalt, fiberglass shingles are not traditional roofing products. Most residential markets including the Atlanta area have been overrun by low performance petroleum based asphalt roofing products. These materials provided a relatively inexpensive alternative to traditional roofing products such as wood shake, traditional tile or natural slate. However, market forces (higher gas prices directly affecting asphalt shingles), poor energy efficiency, poor performance in hail storms and high winds, along with a clear disadvantage in appearance has forward thinking homeowners looking for more desirable products.
In some areas of the country where hailstorms are prevalent some insurance companies, looking to protect their bottom line, will offer discounts on premiums if homeowners avoid asphalt roofing materials and switch to impact resistance rated products such as cedar, tile or slate. There are regions in Colorado that have banned asphalt/fiberglass shingle roofs altogether.
Besides asphalt, fiberglass shingles’ questionable performance their environmental impact is even worse.
Asphalt roofs with coal tar pitch and gravel surfaces are typical of tear-offs that are disposed in landfills. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing Association, two million tons of asphalt coated membrane roofing has been sent to the waste stream, representing 11 million tons of roofing waste per year, and seven to 10 percent of landfill space over the last 40 years.
Sustainable roofing design strategies have taken on greater importance in recent years. Owners and architects have many sustainable roofing options to choose from, whether for new construction, major renovation, or re roofing projects.
