ECOLOGICAL GREEN

An increasingly popular and environmentally conscious option for both residential and commercial buildings, the vegetation that covers a green roof actually lowers energy costs, improves air quality and naturally absorbs storm water thereby reducing the need for expensive drainage systems. With a longer life span than conventional roofs, Welch's Quality Builders & Roofing, LLC green roof installations also address a condition known as “Urban Heat Island Effect”, occurring in densely populated urban and suburban areas.

Traditional building materials such as asphalt, tar, and gravel trap and produce intense heat making it more difficult for property owners to keep buildings cool and contribute to increased temperatures in Sumter and surrounding regions. Green roofing systems supplement vegetation and provide an additional natural living space.
