Energy Efficient Roofs and A Roofing Tax Credit!

I moved into an older home on a parcel of property near Boston that backed up to a beautiful lake. The home is almost 50 years old and needs quite a bit of work but is quite large with an old farm house style. I knew I would be investing in quite a few home improvements and replacing the roof was highest on my list of priorities. I had not yet decided on what type of roof replacement to choose. Then I discovered that the two types of roofs approved for the federal roofing tax credit met Energy Star standards and were limited to metal and asphalt roofs - these particular products met the highest standards as energy efficient roofs. I did some homework and found a Boston roofing contractor who did residential roofing and was highly recommended. He came out to give me a free quote but he also took time to find out about my budget and needs. He also made suggestions that would allow me to save on my heating bills, get an energy efficient roof and take advantage of the roofing tax rebate. Not only did his roofing services come with a full guarantee, but his workforce consisted of expert roofing installers who had considerable experience installing energy efficient roofs. I felt totally at ease and assured that this was the roofing contractor who would replace my roof.
