Roofing Tax Credits Can Offset Upgrades To Energy-Efficient Metal and Asphalt Roofs

Does My Roof Qualify For The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Tax Credit?

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ROOFING SERVICES

With the recent signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements that were originally part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 have been reinstated, extended and increased.

• Tax Credit: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2/17/2009 enables homeowners to receive up to a $1,500 tax credit if they install specific energy efficient products (asphalt roofing products) which carry an Energy Star rating.

Energy Star®: Energy Star guidelines for residential roofing products require that products have a minimum solar reflectivity (SR value) of .25.
Additional Details:

• Tax credit for 30% of the cost of energy-efficient products up to a lifetime cap of $1,500.
• The tax credit applies to the cost of materials only (not installation costs).
• At the present time, this credit is available for 2009 and 2010.
• Homeowner must save receipts and provide a Manufacturer’s Certification Statement.
• IRS Tax Form 5695 (2009 version) is the form the homeowner will use to apply for the tax credit.

United Roofing & Remodeling is the leading residential and commercial roofing contractor for high-performance roofing systems for commercial and industrial properties in the Twin Cities.  We offer our customers the industry’s most comprehensive customer support, installation and repair services.

Insulating Your Home In The Twin Cities

Does My Minnesota Home Have Enough Insulation?

An attic insulated to today’s energy standards minimizes heat escape through the ceiling, virtually eliminating the possibility of snow melting and freezing at the base of the roof.  The amount insulation your house should have will vary, depending on where you live, how your house is built, and many other factors.  Insulation levels are recommended by geographic zones and are stated in R-values.  R-value is the resistance to heat flow of a material.  The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.

Ventilation?
• The average family generates 2 to 4 gallons of water vapor a day.  Poor ventilation means some of the vapor may build up in the attic resulting in mold, mildew, and poor air quality.
• Heat in unventilated attics can cause temperatures to exceed 150*F resulting in damage to shingles and roof sheathing.

There is a solution! We have solutions for any of any sort of home improvements you need.  And best of all, some of these home improvements are eligible for tax credits.

Insulation Levels In The Midwest

The tax credit does not cover the installation/labor costs for insulation, windows, doors, or roofs. We will provide you with an itemized bill that separates the product cost (ex: insulation) from the installation/labor cost. Insulation, windows, doors, and roofs are eligible for a tax credit of 30% up to $1,500 for the cost of the product only.

United Roofing & Remodeling is the leading residential and commercial roofing contractor for high-performance roofing systems for commercial and industrial properties in the Twin Cities. We offer our customers the industry’s most comprehensive customer support, installation and repair services.

Reflective Metal Roofing

• Reflective metal roofing saves on energy costs because it is able to reflect solar energy back into the atmosphere.  This reduces the amount of energy absorbed into your home.
• Qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings.  This can reduce peak cooling demands by 10-15%.
