When it’s time to replace the roof on your home or business, one of the smartest things you can do is consider using a white roof or “cool roof.” Instead of absorbing heat in the summer like a black roof, a cool roof reflects sunlight back into space. It generally costs no more than a traditional roof, but it reduces your air conditioning bills.
