Tallahassee Green Roofs
As Tallahassee is certainly a Floridian city, we are fortunate enough to be one of the few states to take advantage of such wonderful summer days, and nice rather than painful winders. We believe that may be one of the reasons that residents of the great state of Florida have taken advantage of the green roof option. Now before you let your imagination run too rampant, understand that when we say green roof we do not mean metal or shingled roofs painted green. We literally mean lush, live, growing greens.
A green roof can be varying depths but usually involves the entire roof being “plant-able”. That being said, many contractors do consider a second type of green roof. When a resident almost covers their entire roof with potted plants, this can sometime be considered a green roof. However, to install a full fledged green roof, usually means to seed the entire roof. As with most all roof materials, there are both pros and cons of choosing a green roof. The pros in most cases however, do outweigh the cons. Unfortunately because a green roof can be a tremendous weight, the architectural structure of the home must have been made to support such a weight. If it wasn’t, contractors must reinforce the roof to take on the additional weight. Also proper drainage systems must be put into place. Fortunately green roofs, though you might expect otherwise, don’t generally require a tremendous amount of maintenance. Also you will notice a large impact of your energy bill. After all, you are basically building a permanent shade above your living quarters. Because green roofs are… well, green, they contribute to the support of nature and wildlife in your area. This is especially beneficial in metropolitan areas, where wildlife populations have suffered. Installing Your Green RoofThe hardest task in going green with your roof is finding an experienced contractor. Because green roofs are so specialized, not just any contractor will due.
