• A professional contractor will be aware of the important details that need to be addressed when installing new insulation to eliminate heat leaks. Heat leaks destroy shingles and that causes problems for the entire roofing system when the shingles are exposed to an abundance of unwanted heat.

The warranty can be up to 50-years long and it is a document that can be added as an asset when selling your house.
