Despite the fact that roofing looks good in green, homeowners ought to know that asphalt roofing shingles are not the greenest product around. The trick is making your asphalt shingle roofing installation as green as you possibly can by installing 40- or 50-year rated shingles.
What's it going to cost you if you go green with your asphalt shingle roofing? Probably not a lot more than if you don't, to be honest. You may pay more for a radiant heat barrier, recycled content asphalt shingles, and higher quality, longer lasting roofing materials, but when you figure in energy savings and going longer between re-roofing projects, you're going to break even, if not save a little in the long run. The truth is that going green is worth a lot more than you can measure in dollars and cents. Green roofs are healthier, longer lasting, lower maintenance roofing solutions. Add to that the fact that embracing a green roof means you'll be passing a better, more environmentally responsible world onto your children and grandchildren.
