Metal Roofs: What are the Benefits?
As their electric bills continue to raise higher and higher, many homeowners are turning toward energy efficient remodeling. Besides installing energy efficient windows, or vinyl siding, another excellent option is a metal roof.
Metal roofs reflect the sun’s rays, decreasing the need for your air conditioner to run, and can even help make your home more temperate without air conditioning at all. Not only do metal roofs decrease your electric bill, but they’re also a green alternative—they’ll help decrease greenhouse emissions and lower your carbon footprint.
Keep Mulch a Foot below Home Siding
As spring approaches and gardeners break out their trowels and pruners, many homeowners will start their annual mulching campaigns.

Proper mulching, like a proper gutter system, will also help prevent soil erosion.
