Add Roof Insulation

The time to add roof insulation is when you are building or replacing the roof. Whether the project is a 19th century historic property with a lead-coated copper roof or a flat-roofed industrial building from the 1930s, roof replacement is an opportunity to add insulation, including a vapor barrier. This is one of the most cost-effective energy conservation measures available. The cost to increase insulation is a small portion of the overall roofing project and can result in a rapid payback.
