Why Las Vegas Roofing Leads the Industry in Cool Roof Options

When it comes to roofing, Las Vegas is different. The unique climate of the city—its extreme heat, its powerful sunshine, and the combination of the two—demands solutions that are nothing short of energy-efficient and effective. In Las Vegas, roofing has to exist on a different level if it is going to work. That is why Las Vegas Roofing not only offers "cool roof" options but also makes them the centerpiece of its product line. Cool roofs can reflect much more sunlight and take in much less heat than even the best traditional roofs. When it comes to cool roofs, Las Vegas Roofing is at the top of the game with innovative, high-tech materials and coatings that are winners across the board.

The denizens of Las Vegas are becoming more cognizant of the advantages of cool roofs. The combination of our nethermost nudges toward climate change—namely, rising temperatures and ballooning energy prices—have prompted the good people of Southern Nevada to seek even more efficient roofing solutions than those they might have previously considered. One such solution—peddled locally by a roofing company simply known as "Las Vegas Roofing"—is to install on your home any number of materials that constitute what is called a "cool roof.

Las Vegas Roofing has taken the initiative to educate customers about the advantages of cool roofs. They work with homeowners to help them comprehend what long-term savings are to be had from installing a cool roof. The company's website, alongside various workshops, proffers materials that push home the point of how vital it is to select the right roof for the local climate. Keeping customers up to date with the latest technologies is all part of the empowerment process. On top of that, really committed cool roofers pay attention to the aerodynamic advantages of a home in windstorm-prone areas. They sit down with a customer and figure out which roof is ideal for that specific windward, leeward, or upper ridge situation.

As a property manager responsible for a large apartment complex, I have had to interact with many roofing companies. Standing above them all is Las Vegas Roofing. They approached our commercial roofing job with awesome skill and coordination. They finished ahead of schedule and under budget. I have never seen such vigor and enthusiasm in a work crew. They must be well led; there is always evidence of good leadership when you see a construction crew working like this one did. If there is any kind of roof on our property in the future that needs fixing or if there is any new kind of roofing job, we will definitely use Las Vegas Roofing.

When it was finally necessary to change the roof on our family residence, we were presented with a plethora of alternatives. Las Vegas Roofing truly simplified this process for us. A representative of the company took us through the many choices—each one a viable option, but some better suited to our home than others. We settled on a choice of color and texture. The installation team was prompt and worked well together. They respected our property and left the job site cleaner than they found it. The most spectacular part of the job was that they took extra care to ensure that the rose bushes in front of our house were not damaged—a necessity since those roses are our pride and joy. The new roof looks great, and I have no doubt that it will perform well even under the harshest conditions that the Vegas sun can dish out.

As an architect, I have very particular standards for construction work on my own home. Las Vegas Roofing met and surpassed my expectations. Their understanding of state-of-the-art roofing technology impressed me. They executed my design for a modern, energy-efficient roof flawlessly. Every detail reflected the crew's skill, from the precision of the installation to the immaculate cleanup. They were able to smooth over several last-minute design changes without any hitch. The roof is both functional and beautiful. I've recommended Las Vegas Roofing to clients already, and I will continue to do so.

I am very impressed with the work done by Las Vegas Roofing. When a sudden leak developed during a rare desert downpour, they were at my house within a few hours. They quickly found the problem and had it fixed in short order. Their efficiency was remarkable. They explained everything to me in "normal people" terms and kept me up to date every step of the way. I already have recommended them to my neighbors and will call them again if I have any roofing needs.

Our Unique Approach to Cool Roof Options

The ever-developing area of sustainable architecture and energy-efficient design requires an unusual take on cool roof options. Our work—on behalf of Atkinson-Noland & Associates, Inc—addresses that need. We begin with an assessment of each client's situation that considers climate, building type, and patterns of energy use. We then, in this reading of the architectural situation, tailor cool roof options to maximize thermal performance and environmental impact. Doing this not only serves the buildings' occupants but also enriches the cool roofs' understated presence in the architecture with a quiet beauty.

We select the materials we use because they are a fundamental part of our unique approach. Our team chooses advanced composites and reflective coatings, which are engineered to work in conjunction with one another. The reflective coatings—applied to the surface—are designed to deflect sunlight. Meanwhile, the advanced composites—used in the structural components of the building—absorb much less heat than traditional roofing materials. Together, they make the building much more comfortable and cut the dependency on air conditioning way down. If you don't have to use the air conditioner, you don't have to worry about it breaking down, using too much electricity, or releasing greenhouse gases.

Satisfaction among our customers is a core element of our mission. We strive to create an experience for our clients that is as enjoyable as it is rewarding. It is an experience of unfailing clear communication, of engagement at every level between us and the client, throughout the project and beyond. That project may take the form of a straightforward, moderate-level design-build remodel, an entirely new structure, or a simple yet multifaceted installation of an innovative solar energy system. In each case, what we build together is a sustainable structure with a high-performing, cool roof. Post-construction and installation, we engage with clients in a way that ensures the roof—and thus the sustainable structure—will perform effectively throughout the projected lifespan of the roof system.

Tailored Cool Roof Options for Every Need

Investing in the cool roofing technology is an intelligent decision that pays more than just dividends of energy savings. Our cool roof offerings are diverse and tailored to a range of residential, commercial, and industrial requirements so that every customer can find an energy-efficient and low-maintenance cool roof that perfectly meets their needs and budget. How? By reflecting more sunlight and absorbing even less heat than traditional roofing systems, our cool roof options allow for significant indoor temperature elevation reductions during the warm months of the year and for much better air-mediated spatial cooling in the warm season rainless stretches. And while our solutions are practical, they are also aesthetically pleasing, adding lots of "curb appeal" indeed to any house, office, or factory that we cool-roof.

Our philosophy regarding "cool roofing" is simple: We understand and respect each client's unique vision and operational needs. Elevate's tailored "cool roofing" solutions strike the ideal balance among climate durability, material efficiency, and aesthetic appearance. Working with an expert team of architects and engineers, we conduct comprehensive assessments of each project's specific requirements and environment—from which we derive a suite of roofing recommendations that meet functional (and often code-driven) needs and that also serve as effective, attractive architectural elements. When we recommend "cool roofing" options, we always use the term "future-proof" and "resilient," which means the roof can't be penetrated by wind or rain for a long time and that the roof hasn't been designed for a climate in which it's likely to overheat (largh).

We stand out in the cool roofing industry because we prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. Our roof systems don't just work; they perform exceptionally well. It's no accident that our name is synonymous with quality in the cool roofing industry. Each project is managed with painstaking attention to detail, from the initial consultation through the installation to the aftercare. If cool roofing can be said to have a "best practice," we follow it. We have it down to a system, which is why we can say with confidence that our tailored roof options not only perform well but also provide a striking appearance that enhances the building's aesthetics. Whether you are considering a cool roof, needing a service on an existing roof, or doing construction on a building that has future roof needs, let us — the cool roofing experts — advise and assist you.

The Cool Roof Options for Every Need

Reflective Coatings

There are many types of roofing systems available, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the best roofing types for energy efficiency are metal roofs and flat roofs finished with a reflective coating. Because of their high durability and low maintenance requirements, metal roofs tend to be long-lived and, therefore, are a good investment. When covered with a roof garden or painted with a reflective color, a metal roof can achieve energy savings of 30 to 50 percent, which is about double what you would get with a traditional shingle roof. Flat roofs can be finished in a similar way.

Cool Roofing Shingles

Cool roofing shingles are designed to mimic traditional shingle aesthetics while offering unrivaled heat reflectivity. They are made with specially coated granules that are cool to the touch. These shingles look the same as standard asphalt roofing shingles but work better because they reflect more sunshine and stay cooler. Homeowners who want to maintain the classic look of their property can use cool roofing shingles, which are available in various styles and colors. Combined with their energy efficiency and durability, the visual appeal of the cool roof makes it a popular choice.

Single-Ply Membrane Roofs

Rooftops that are flat or nearly flat can use single-ply membrane roofing. It is not only the materials of this kind of roofing that are excellent; the UV resistance and the heat reflectivity of these roofs make them outstanding. They typically go on buildings that are either going to be up for a very long time or not up for very long at all, because the savings in cooling costs and the indoor comfort accompanying that kind of rooftop are astonishing.

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Longevity, strength, and energy efficiency make standing seam metal roofs a top choice for architects and designers. In a rising global climate, the appearance of shingles alone won't help reduce the heat captured by roofs. But standing seam metal roofs can be painted with reflective colors that increase solar reflectance even more than the median value for "light" colors. And in the many cases where roofs carry over a "parapet" wall, the standing seam metal roof is well-suited because it's low-maintenance and highly resistant to many kinds of extreme weather.

What is a cool roof and how does it work?

A standard roof absorbs a lot of heat, while a cool roof is designed to reflect more sunlight and take in less heat. It is typically made from substances that have high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, meaning they reflect incoming solar energy well and emit heat very effectively. By re-emitting solar energy and keeping the roof surface cooler, a cool roof radiatively counteracts heat. In the summertime, this effect can reduce the heat load that enters a building through the roof by 30 to 50 percent.

What are the benefits of installing a cool roof?

There are many advantages to cool roofs. The most noticeable is that they save energy. By absorbing less sunlight, they keep buildings under them less hot and reduce the need for "cooling" energy. They also prolong the life of the roof itself; many studies indicate that energy-efficient roofing does last longer. And by reducing the cumulative heat that roofs put out into the urban environment, cool roofs help mitigate the "urban heat island" effect. --James S. Russell

Are there different types of cool roof materials?

Indeed, there are several varieties of cool roof products on the market today. These can be organized into coatings, membranes, tiles, and <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://lasvegasroofing.net/roofing-henderson/metal-roofing-henderson/" title="metal roofing" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="1319">metal roofing</a>. You can think of cool roof coatings as being paint-like and use them to transform an existing roof into a "cool" one. By contrast, the other three categories—membrane systems, tiles, and metal roofs—are more like "hard hats" and are often installed either on new structures or during major renovations.

How much can homeowners save on energy bills with a cool roof?

How much homeowners can save on their energy bills with a cool roof depends on several different factors. One is the local climate. If you live somewhere that's hot or warm for a good chunk of the year, you're likely to see some solid savings from a cool roof. Conditions of your existing roof could impact savings too. If a cool roof is a significant upgrade to what you have now, you might see much more savings than if your current roof is already pretty decent. Lastly, cool roofs just work better when the whole house is well sealed and insulated. If your place leaks a lot of conditioned air, that's a savings problem not a roof problem.

Cool roofs work best in warm or hot climates, where they can really cut down on the amount of heat that the building absorbs. This reduction can lead to a significant decrease in the amount of air conditioning required to keep the building cool. We learned in the last chapter that the benefits of cool roofs are less pronounced in colder climates, where we might actually need more roofing materials to cut down on the wintry heat that we also pay for. In spite of this, we might still be able to justify using cool roofs in certain parts of the country on the basis of energy efficiency. ... For more information on the use of cool roofs in the U.S., see the U.S. Department of Energy's fact sheet on the subject.
How long a cool roof lasts depends on the materials used and the quality of the installation. Cool roofs of high quality last 20 years or more, and some materials, like metal, can push expected lifespans up toward 30, even 50 years. Maintenance and inspections, when needed, can extend a cool roof's life even more. Another reason for a cool roof's longevity is that it is exposed to less thermal cycling than a traditional roof, which means it's going to see a lot less overall wear and tear.
As with all roofs, cool roofs need ongoing maintenance to ensure that they last as long as they’re supposed to and perform the way they’re supposed to perform. The maintenance they need is not that different from what all roofs need. You inspect them for leaks or other damage, fix anything that’s wrong, and clean the surface to keep it as clean as you can and get it as reflective as you can. Some of the materials you might use on a cool roof are such that you might need to re-coat them or re-seal them periodically to maintain reflectivity.
Numerous official organizations test and rate cool roofs to determine their solar reflectance and thermal emittance. The main one is the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), established in 2002. The CRRC is a not-for-profit organization whose standard is to represent "the next generation of energy-efficient roofing systems." Under this standard, a "cool roof" has a solar reflectance of at least 0.65 and a thermal emittance of at least 0.85—both are ratios that describe how well a surface reflects sunlight and how well it radiates heat. A surface that is both reflective and emissive will not be likely to hold in either kind of energy.
Cool roofs bring a variety of benefits, but they can have some drawbacks, depending on the use case and climate. In cold climates, the roof's reduced heat gain in winter can mean higher heating costs, which is something that we know roofed buildings in the Bay Area have incured. Upfront costs can also be a reason to shy away from cool roofs. On average, they tend to cost more to install, and in cases where the federal Cool Roofs Initiative and the state-funded Underwriters Laboratory grant have not available, they tend to cost more to install than the benefits they provide.
Current roofs can often be turned into cool roofs through the application of cool roof coatings. Coatings are reflective and can be applied over several types of roofing materials. They can transform an existing roof into a much cooler one—without necessitating a complete replacement. However, before applying any coatings, it's essential to check the existing roof for any undisclosed structural problems or damage. Some roofs are so compromised that the best way to ensure a performance upgrade is through a partial replacement.
