Green Roofing

Green commercial roof installation

Shaffer Building Services has extensive experience building Green Roofing systems in the Upstate New York region. A green roof is a layer of vegetation planted over a waterproofing system that is installed on top of a flat or slightly–sloped roof. Also known as Vegetative or Eco–Roofs, Green Roofs have the following benefits:

  • Last longer than conventional roofs
  • Reduce energy costs with natural insulation
  • Create peaceful retreats
  • Absorb storm water
  • Lessen the need for complex and expensive drainage systems
  • Improve air quality
  • Help reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect (a condition in which city and suburban developments absorb and trap heat)
