Garden “Green” Roofing System

Are you ready to improve your long-term house costs and reduce your footprint with an eco-friendly roofing system? Consider green roofing services from Scro’s Roofing Company. Garden roofing systems are durable and efficient roof solutions designed to enhance your home’s safety measures. Depending on your home’s needs, a green roof could be just what your structure needs to maintain efficiency.

What Are Garden/Green Roofs?

A green roof is a type of roofing system that’s flat or slightly sloped, consisting of a water-resistant bottom layer and vegetation layer on top. It’s often used by homeowners who want to increase their structure’s value and contribute to a healthier environment.

Green and garden roofs typically fall under one of three options — extensive, semi-intensive and intensive. Extensive garden roofs are smaller and require little maintenance, usually consisting of grass and durable plants. Intensive garden roofs contain more plant life diversity and tend to require additional maintenance to stay in good condition. Meanwhile, semi-intensive garden roofs fall somewhere in the middle of the first two options.

Residential Buildings Can Benefit From Garden Roofs

Green roofing systems are efficient. While they’re a slightly bigger upfront investment than other roofing options, they offer a wide range of comparable long-term gains. Financing may also help you with defraying upfront costs. With green roof benefits, you can:

Increase your home’s value. Garden roof systems add visual appeal to your home while extending the structure’s service life. This may have a positive effect on your home’s value over time.
Reduce flame risks. Because garden roofs tend to hold in moisture, they are less likely to catch on fire. This additional safety measure can protect your home from flame risk.
Decrease maintenance. By choosing the right layer type and vegetation for your situation, you can reduce home maintenance and costs.
Lower energy costs. Plant life on your roof helps control the amount of sunlight that enters your home, which leads to reduced heating and cooling costs in the long run.
Manage water levels. When water from rainfall hits your garden roof, it takes longer to travel into the sewage drains. You can use this to manage water levels and reduce flood risks.

We had significant hail damage due to the May 2016 hail storm in Cary, and warded off all the storm chasers that came through our area for 2 months after. I called Scro’s Roofing after the insurance adjusted had written off the roof, and they worked us into their busy schedule. Amazing job done by an amazing and hard-working crew. I was impressed by the way they used tarps to protect the landscaping around the house, and Patricia was pretty particular about cleaning up after the crew. Danny was a pleasure to work with, and he provided several improvements to our roof like a installing a chimney cricket and ridge vents. We used Moire black shingles and the roof looks...

In life you get what you pay for and this is certainly true with Scro’s Roofing. There are so many “fly be night” roofing companies out there who do not have the long standing customer service and support that a local roofing company can offer. Everyone should take the time to educate themselves about the roofing process and the track record of the company, as this is a very larger investment and an area where you don’t want to cut corners. The team at Scro’s Roofing provided me with many educational links and never pressured me into a sale. They wanted to ensure that I fully understood the process and trusted that I would make an intelligent decision. This sharing...

Scro’s Roofing installed a new roof on our home and everything went exactly as planned and scheduled. The installation crew covered all our plants and deck when removing the roof and then cleaned up perfectly when the job was done. We were kept informed all along the job from start to finish so we knew how and when everything would be done. I’ve never experienced a contractor, a company or an owner like Danny who worked with us on every detail. Further, we had gotten several other quotes with Scro’s being the best. This project couldn’t have been done more smoothly… We greatly appreciate Danny the owner and Sarah our scheduling contact. They both were there for all and every...

We just had our roof done by Scro’s Roofing, and we are very happy with the results. Danny and his office were very helpful in answering all of my questions. I did a good bit of research beforehand, and after talking with Danny, I had a lot of confidence that they are up to date on best practices and latest materials. In particular, I liked that they hand nail the shingles, use a synthetic underlayment instead of tar paper, install a drip edge, and provide a 10-year labor warranty. The thing about getting a new roof is that most people may not find out whether the installer did a bad job or used inferior materials for 5-10 years when they...

The big hail storm of May 2, 2016 did extensive damage to our roof (and Leaf-Guard gutters as well). Our insurance company appraised the roof and said it all needed to be replaced. My first choice was again Scro’s Roofing. I was not about to use one of the “storm chasers” that descended on our neighborhood like carpetbaggers from who knows where. Danny, the owner of Scro’s Roofing looked up my record from seven years ago and was able to give me an estimate almost immediately from the information he already had on file. Their estimate was within a couple percent of what our insurance had already written a check which made the decision to go with Scro’s Roofing again...

I had a great experience working with Danny and his team. Danny even recommended a less expensive roofing product based on our needs. Sarah was so helpful and accommodating throughout the process. I wish all home repairs/renovations were this easy and professional. A wonderful company to work with!
