Brightspot Partners with Choice Roof Contractor Group
As an educationally-minded consulting firm, Brightspot Energy Solutions seeks to connect building owners with solutions that reduce energy use, increase cost savings, and foster energy independence. Therefore, we’re proud to announce the formation of a strategic partnership with Choice Roof Contractor Group, a nationwide group of commercial roofing contractors who specialize in high-performance, highly energy-efficient roofing solutions. Choice Roof Contractor Group and Bright Spot will work together to drive consumer awareness of the benefits of energy-efficient roofing and the impact it can have on strengthening consumers’ budgets and lessening their environmental impact.
Further Reducing Dependence on Grid with Energy-Efficient Roofing Solutions
Specifically, Choice Roof Contractor Group members use white roof coatings that form a white, reflective roof surface when applied over an existing roof. These roof coatings represent the better of two different worlds—they stop expensive leaks by providing an additional layer of protection over an existing roof, and they greatly enhance a building’s energy-conservation capability.
The product selection of choice for Choice Roof Contractors is Conklin® roofing products because of their demonstrated durability and lasting energy-saving performance. In fact, studies show Conklin® roof coatings reflect up to 85% of the sun’s energy. With a majority of the sun’s energy reflected, heat is kept from being transferred over the rest of the building. The building then does not have to use as much air conditioning to keep its interior cool.
In that context, Conklin® roof coatings are capable of generating up to 50% in annual A/C cost savings.
Roof Coatings as an Eco-Friendly, Life-Extending Solution
When applied, a white roof coating forms a completely seamless, completely waterproof, and fully-adhered membrane over the old roof. This new roof membrane extends the old roof’s life for many years—in some cases, a Conklin®-applied roof has been known to last for up to 25 years, or even longer, and still perform well. This new roof membrane holds up well in all climates and provides great cooling cost savings.
Because they are applied over an old roof, Conklin® white roof coatings do not require any expensive roof replacement. No roof tear-off and disposal is therefore involved, meaning a roof coating system, or a “roof restoration”, is a more eco-friendly option on the whole.
Aside from the lessened environmental impact, there are many cost savings that can be attained with a roof restoration, as well. These can translate into thousands of dollars in savings and can include:
Leak-Free Warranty
- Roof tear-off costs
- Roof disposal expense burdens
- Landfill costs
- Higher labor costs
- Higher roofing product volume costs
- Costs of interrupted business or building operations
It has been estimated with Conklin® roof coatings, a building owner can save up to 50% on roof replacement costs. Once the roof coating system has been applied on an old commercial roof as part of a retrofit project, a renewable energy system can further enhance a building’s energy-saving capacity.
Partnership in Action
For building owners looking to make their building more energy-efficient, we know Conklin®-trained roof contractors whom we can reference. Among other benefits, Choice Roof Contractor Group’s “preferred” Conklin® roofing vendors often offer non-prorated warranty coverage on all labor and material costs, as well as a lifetime service guarantee.
Along with our partner’s option for reducing your reliance upon the grid, we offer consulting services for determining your property or building’s viability for wind, solar, or hybrid energy system benefits. Should you be interested in learning more about these opportunities or the synergistic relationship between these systems and roofing products, please give us a call at (419) 496-6443.
