Phoenix Could Use a Green Roof or TwoIf you've lived in Phoenix for any length of time, you'll know what we mean by "brown clouds". Our city has grown exponentially over the last couple of decades, and unfortunately so has the level of pollution we've caused. When you get out of the city and head towards the foothills, you'll notice what seems to be a giant smog bubble nestled within Loop 101, covering pretty much the entire city. We're no strangers to smog warnings, and public health notices to stay indoors whenever possible happen at least once or twice per year. While one person does not change a city, we can all do our own small part to help clean up our city, before we lose what is left of our wildlife. Installing a green roof on your home is an amazingly unique way to not only make a statement about your eco-friendly beliefs, but to also give a little back to the environment that we, as a society, have taken over.
If you've never heard of a green roof before, you're in for a surprise. Green roofs are created by basically turning the entire roofing area of your home into it's own miniature eco-system. Everything from grass, to shrubs, to flower gardens, and yes, even trees are possible. Depths of soil vary depending on what you and your Seattle green roof specialist agree on. The amount of plants that will be planted will depend greatly on how much weight your contractor feels your home can support. Not all homes can support the weight, and if that's the case for your home, you'll need to decide whether you would rather choose a different roofing material, or spend the money to reinforce the structural support to the point where it can support the weight in question. It Takes a Specialist to Install a Green RoofFinding a qualified green roof specialist is quite possibly the biggest drawback for those who've decided to install one. While asphalt shingles and metal roofing are widely known trades among roofing contractors, it takes a highly experienced and trained roofing contractor to be able to plan and exercise the installation of such a unique roof system. Luckily, we know where to find a few of these professionals! We also know which of them you can trust, because we called and checked on their license and insurance documents. According to Arizona state laws, all contractors with projects of $750 or more are required to have a license and all contractors must have insurance. But we didn't stop there - we went so far as to run background checks, to ensure there weren't any activities in their past that would raise suspicion. Now you can get quotes from trustworthy green roofing specialists here in the Seattle area, without even leaving your home. Just answer a few brief questions about what you have in mind, and we'll get started on requesting these quotes on your behalf!
