Conrad Roofing’s certified installers follow strict manufacturer protocols on every project.

Q: How does energy efficient roofing save money?

Energy-efficient roofing reduces heat absorption, helping keep your attic and home cooler. Options like Solaris Cool Roof reflective granules and TechShield radiant barriers can lower attic temperatures significantly, reducing air conditioning loads and potentially lowering energy bills.

Q: What is a Cool Roof system?

A Cool Roof system uses specialized materials, such as Solaris reflective granules, to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat. This helps maintain cooler roof temperatures, enhancing indoor comfort and improving long-term energy savings. Learn more about our energy efficient roofing options .

Q: What does a radiant barrier do?

I had Conrad's roofing come out and replace our roof and they did a great job. Arty was very helpful when it came to deciding which roof and color to choose. The work was completed in the exact amount of days as they said and the guys worked really hard to get it done. We are very pleased. I highly recommend Conrad's roofing.
