Green remolding is an approach to home improvement with the goal of not only making your home look better, but work better - for both you and the environment. A green remodel helps you realize a range of far-reaching benefits from a single idea. With careful planning, you can create a home that combines beauty, efficiency , and conservation.

     By choosing a long-lasting quality roof, you will delay its replacement. If you select recyclable materials, your roofing can avoid landfills altogether. By installing a roof that is manufactured with minimal ecological impact , you are making a decision to improve your house with a new green approach. 

     With current emphasis placed on eco-friendly  remodeling, the government is offering a  tax credit of up to 50% for the purchase and installation of a quality green product such as an aluminum roofing system.The tax credit is provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and covers 30% of qualifying material costs, up to $1500.

In addition to the financial benefits , by replacing your asphalt roof with a Slate Shingle System you will meet the requirements to earn the tax credit benefits the government is offering. 

Durability - Steel roofs are known to last longer than a tradition asphalt roof. We provide a limited warranty for 50 years, because of our trust in our Steel Roofing System.

Beauty - Our roof comes in a variety of distinctive colors, and has an Old World Charm characteristic of a classic slate roof. The finish, Hylar 5000, is considered the best in the industry, and is baked onto the metal to minimize wear.

Green Construction - Our roof is better for the environment than an asphalt roof because it is made from as much as 50% recycled material, and it is 100% recyclable. In addition, the solar reflectivity (the same feature that nets you the tax credit) can cut your cooling bills by keeping your house cooler in the summer. A green practice is that, in many cases our roof can go right on top of your existing asphalt roof, which avoids dumping trash into our landfills.

Factory Direct Installations offers an Old World Charm Slate Steel Shingle System that offers durability, beauty, and an eco-friendly construction.

 When considering replacing a roof with a more efficient green product, a  steel roofing system meets the essence of green building. Replacing an existing roof with a steel shingle roofing system gives you the opportunity to know that the materials used in manufacturing are made out of recycled materials. Steel roofs are more durable and  protect the property better than an asphalt (paper) roofing system.
