Why would I choose Stellar for my roofing needs?

• A high-performance roof takes more than just shingles. The performance of any roof depends on an entire system, including ventilation, hip and ridge shingles, flashing’s, felt underlayment, ice/water shield, metal valleys, and attic insulation. Even the highest-quality shingles cannot work alone. We will provide the right materials to provide maximum durability for your roof and the most protection for your home. Standard upgrades that we use to ensure uncompromised quality, include 6 nails per shingle, rake edge starter, and 30# felt.
  
  
• We proudly endorse asphalt shingles from Owens Corning®, GAF/ELK®, CertainTeedTM, MalarkeyTM, and TAMKO®, and tile from Eagle Roofing Products®. We will provide you the necessary information to make the right choice of material, durability, style, and color, plus wind, algae, impact, and hail resistance for your home. For metal roof applications, at a minimum, we will provide 24 gauge, PVDF coated Galvalume.

• Solar panels capture the energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. The electricity is used to power the home and any excess is added to the grid. Since solar electric has the potential to provide us energy independence, has no green house effect, produces for up to 40 years, and has virtually no maintenance, there are significant financial incentives for residential installations.

• The #1 warranty concern with solar installations is water leaks. In the same way a qualified electrician is required for the service connections, be sure that a qualified roofer is installing your rack attachment points.
  
  
• Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), using thin-film technology, provides far superior aesthetics due to it’s low profile. It also has cost advantages since less material is required and it is installed exactly like conventional roofing. As you would expect, thin film is the fastest growing segment in solar.

• Although Solar Electric is a great way to reduce your energy needs, it’s not the only way. Qualified HERS or BPI Energy Raters can provide a list of retrofits along with their costs and benefits. These minor improvements can have a better financial impact than solar and should be undertaken by the homeowner. This often results in a smaller, less costly, solar installation and improved comfort within the home.
