Attic temperatures can soar during hot spells, driving up cooling costs. Pairing reflective roof systems with balanced ventilation keeps heat from building up and improves indoor comfort.
Long, sunny days are great for us but hard on building envelopes. Heat, UV, and thermal expansion stress shingles, sealants, and cladding. A quick August check can extend service life and prevent shoulder-season surprises.
