Enhance your Home with Crystalite Skylights

Homeowners have high expectations for comfort throughout their home.  They don’t want a drafty farmhouse anymore or a spare bedroom that isn’t the same temperature as the rest of the house.  It may come as a surprise, but a professional Tillamook roofing contractor can address these concerns and more.

According to the Executive Director of Efficiency First Coby Rudolph ,“The professional roofing contractor has the right combination of skills on staff and also sees a much larger number of existing homes than many other types of contractors”, says Coby Rudolph, Executive Director of Efficiency First, a national membership organization of home performance contractors.  In fact, home energy efficiency strongly relates to a properly detailed attic, and it’s remarkable how straightforward some of the improvements can be.  For example, a bathroom fan that has never worked well may simply have a kinked or disconnected exhaust line.  Air conditioning ducts in the attic might be disconnected or have large leaks.   Oftentimes these issues have existed since the construction of the home, and a savvy roofing contractor can really improve their client’s comfort (and help reduce their energy bills) with some quick work in the attic. For the professional Tillamook roofing contractor, it’s a great chance to develop some new partnerships.  We have built strong relationships with allied partners and are GAF certified.  Let us help you improve your energy savings!

Builders and remodelers say that many of their clients opt for a combination of fixed and venting skylights once they understand the features and benefits, especially if they are into green building or remodeling, or are simply serious about making their homes more energy efficient.

Venting skylights can be equipped with moisture sensors to close them automatically in case of rain and they can be controlled manually or by remote control.  They are easy to install, inexpensive, and energy efficient.  Some “super-efficient” models meet the federal government’s energy efficiency criteria, qualifying them for federal tax credits of up to 30 percent of the purchase and installation cost.
