Sharper Impressions Painting Helps Homeowners Control Heating Costs

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Sharper Impressions Painting professionals offer expert advice to homeowners on how to reduce heating and cooling expenses. “Professional painting is not only a great way to improve your home’s appearance and value,” says company, founder Geoff Sharp. “A simple, inexpensive paint job can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency.”

Roof paint coatings, which Sharper Impressions Painting applies to both residential and commercial property, are the smart, new way to stop heat loss in winter and keep hot air out in summer.

The summer sun’s heat is naturally attracted to roofing materials like asphalt shingle, metal and cedar. Heat saturates the material, flowing through into attic space and ultimately into the home, increasing air-conditioning costs.

The opposite is true in cold climates. Heat from the home rises and literally goes through the roof. Homeowners continue to seek low-cost methods to reduce heating and cooling costs and roof coatings are quickly catching on as a new way to bring relief to an age-old problem.

Thermal coatings – often referred to as “cool roof” coatings – seal the roofing material, adding a protective layer to trap heat from either coming in or going out. Sharp adds, “In addition to roof coatings, interior painting of attic ceilings is a highly effective way to increase energy efficiency.”

Affordable roof coatings also provide protection against damage due to wet weather and can prolong the life of your roof; preventing costly replacements.

Sharper Impressions Painting contractors possess the expertise and proper equipment to paint all varieties of roofs, including scaffolding, harnesses and lifts. They are also fully licensed and insured.
