• The first step in a successful attic retrofit is finding the right party to do the work. It is imperative that you chose a professional, certified, insured contractor to complete the job. The contractor’s skill set should have a great deal experience in insulation installation and he should be local to your region with work references to be checked for veracity.
• Once the contractor has been chosen and he completes the work, a unique benefit specific to the shingles can become active. Shingles are vulnerable to heat and when exposed to heat they will degrade. When a professional installs the attic insulation it stops heat leaking through the roof and protect the shingles. When that situation is created, a warranty that comes with the shingles will be in force and it could up to 50-years long.
