At Cooley Roofing and Construction, one of the reasons we chose to carry GAF® products is because this brand shares our environmental sustainability goals. Beyond installing long-lasting roofing systems, our companies agree that careful stewardship of nature is the secret to making the world a better place for generations.
As part of our goals to providing eco-friendly roofing in Winston Salem, NC, here are some GAF policies that echo our values:
Manufacturing
Among GAF’s many green roofing solutions, nothing has arguably made the most positive impact on the environment than EverGuard® TPO roofing. Made of polypropylene, North America’s most recognizable roofing brand has produced about two billion square feet of this cool roofing solution. This single-ply membrane has been key to reducing energy consumption significantly, which in turn decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
According the latest TPO study by Structural Research Inc., several EverGuard variations beat products from other brands in accelerated aging tests. The findings revealed that GAF’s TPO solutions last longer and lose less weight, which are evidence of these membranes’ durability and long-term performance.
Just like our replacement windows in Winston Salem, NC, our team carefully chooses the products to install. Impressive longevity and uncompromising energy performance are two areas we take into account.
Project Modeling
As a certified roofing contractor, we always use GAF’s Cool Roof Energy Savings Tool (CREST) to explore all options to make buildings and houses as energy-efficient as possible. With the guidance from GAF, we optimize CREST’s utility, which is undeniably evident in all of our projects. Along with our proven expertise in roof installation, we adhere to the proposed cool roof solutions by CREST.
Recycling
Similar to the way we replace vinyl siding in Winston Salem, NC, our team actively complies with GAF’s shingle recycling procedures. As a matter of fact, this manufacturer couldn’t be more helpful when it comes to helping us recycle our leftover shingle products.
