New Roof Tax Credits

As you might already know, the federal government often offers tax credits to incentivize eco-friendly improvements on your home. You can, for instance, get a tax credit for installing a solar water heater or a more efficient furnace. And in 2016, you can get a tax credit for an energy-efficient roof, too!

The details

This tax credit is a federal income tax credit, and it’s effective through the end of this year: December 31st, 2016. In other words, you must have the roof installed before the end of the year to claim the credit.

The credit is for up to 10% of the cost of your roof, not including installation costs. You can claim up to $500. So to get the full credit, you’ll need to spend $5,000 on roofing materials.

One item of note here: roofs installed on business and secondary properties don’t count. The roof needs to be on your primary residence in order to apply for this tax credit. Your principal residence is defined as a home that you own and that you live in most of the time. Also, the roof must be retrofitted to an existing home. You can’t claim the credit if you’re adding a cooling roof to a new construction home.

Something You’ll Feel Comfortable With

The comfort and protection of any home begins with its roof. For this reason, a qualified Orange County roofing company takes great pains to provide the very best service possible. Whether this involves roof replacement, repair, or simple maintenance, the work they perform must be unfailingly effective.

What many people don’t realize, however, is that roof protection typically requires more than well-installed shingles and efficient rain gutters. In fact, one of the most important contributors to roof protection lies beneath the shingles. That contributor is something familiar to most people - insulation. Effective insulation tremendously adds to the protective value of any work performed by your Orange County roofing company.

Insulation, of course, helps regulate interior temperatures, thereby enhancing the comfort of your home. The protective material also helps lower energy costs and reduce wear and tear on HVAC systems. For these reasons, proper insulation should supplement any repair or replacement work performed by your Orange County roofing contractor.

While homeowners can choose from various insulation options, radiant barriers currently are among the most promising.  In contrast to conventional fiberglass insulation, a radiant barrier reflects heat energy rather than absorbs it. Another plus of this insulation is that it resists humidity and associated problems such as mildew.

Naturally, a new roof installed by a commercial roofing contractor will require more extensive insulation than a residential structure. There’s simply more space to cover in a commercial environment. But not matter what the square footage involved, radiant barriers (or any other insulation) are enormously cost-effective in the long run.

If you have questions about roof insulation, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established Orange County roofer in La Palma, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every residential roofing and commercial roofing need. No matter where you live in OC, you can count on Luke Roofing for the most efficient, reliable roofing solutions.

Roofing Showdown - Shingles vs Tiles

orange county roofing typesWhen it comes to southern California roofing, the primary choices are shingle and tile. Both options have their advantages, and the most important thing is to ensure that you’re using the best Orange County roofing contractors for the job.

But if you’re wondering about the major differences between these two types of roofing, we’re here to help. Here are the main differences between shingle and tile roofs:

1.Eco-friendliness

These days, many Californians are looking for eco-friendly home options, including roofs. As far as eco-friendliness, tile roofs win hands-down in California. Shingles can actually be better in some colder climates, but concrete and clay tiles are generally more energy-saving with our warm weather.

Recommended by Friend, Very Reasonable!

Luke Roofing was recommended to us by a friend. Came out to give us a quote on a leak and had it fixed the same day! Very reasonable, at less than half the price quoted to us by another company. One year warranty. We would use them again for sure!

Luke's was fantastic before during and after my roof and solar was installed. I couldn't be happier since I love dealing with professionals.
Highly recommended!

I hired Luke Roofing to install a large solar system and a new roof for an addition to my home.  They were on time, clean, and quick.  I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Absolutely Professional

We had our 32 year old cedar shake roof replaced with the GAF timeline architectural roof.  The guys were absolutely professional.  They arrived on time and completed the entire project in three days.  We had lots of dry rot damage as well as termite damage.  It was replaced perfectly.  Every day the work site was clean.  I was referred by a close friend and I have also referred my brother.  My neighbors were amazed how it looks and how quickly it was done.

I was challenged with a very complicated roofing problems as it was made of metal, tile and installed wrong which caused many leaks. The roof was only 10 years old!!  It took me 3-4 months of interviewing contractors as I needed to get the right one. Can you believe that the only one to come up with a water test on top of the roof was Gary the owner! Such a simple thing but everyone else was taking my word where the leaks were. Don't take my word! I'm not a roofer!! Gary and his team went above and beyond. His fabricator was brilliant in the redesign as it had ridges, crickets and slopes down instead of puddling. Luke Roofing knows what there doing!!

Really good crew.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality

Second job done by Luke Roofing for us...price was fine; timeline not important in our case, but they came when they said they would, and finished in two days. Really good crew, polite, considerate, and the work was quality. Cleanup was first class. One minor nick on our front gate on the way out, but easy agreement on how to handle it (accidents can happen to anybody). Really can't ask for more, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.

Good Honorable Company

In early 2019, when the severe rains came, I had two leaks in my upstairs master bathroom, about ten feet apart.  I was somewhat desperate, and tried several roofing companies.  The waiting list for everybody, including Luke, was lengthy, but i had no choice but to wait.  I picked Luke because of high ratings on Angie's List.  Glad I did.  

As it turned out, one flat area required a new roof.  I paid for that, approximately $3,000, and both leaks stopped.  A few months later, both leaks reappeared.  i couldn't believe it.  No problem, Luke's people came out and inspected everything.  A team of 3-4 men spent hours on the roof, going over everything.  They determined that neither leak was related to the roof or their work I had one drain completely stuffed with leaves, and another area where the stucco on the wall around the roof was severely deteriorated. They showed me several pictures. After fixing those problems with a plumber and a stucco company, those two leaks are gone.  No new leaks until last week.  

Last week, a new leak appeared, in a totally different location.  Erin Luke sent a man out to the house who fixed that leak immediately and I paid a small $200-$300 invoice.  

This is a good honorable, company, who will show up when they say they will, and charge a very fair price.  They are now my "go to" roofers.  I've referred them to others.

After spending 4 frustrating months dealing with insurance company and bank to settle a disaster claim for part of my roof, Luke was a breath of fresh air. My roof was partially damaged, but it was old so I decided to replace the whole thing. I took bids from several companies and, although Luke was not the absolute low bid, I have to say that I selected them because of the perceived "value" for me. I am a business owner and I place a high premium on companies who treat their customers right and with high integrity. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and there were no surprises. They also finished the job 1-2 days before they quoted, which I very much appreciated. They worked closely with my chosen Solar company (Sullivan Solar) to prep the roof for solar install, which is happening next month.

My neighbor even saw them working and hired them for his roof repair job.

I highly recommend Luke for any roofing project. Good, honest, fair and reliable. Nobody likes to spend money on these things, but if you have to, it sure feels a lot better when you can do it with a company that you can trust.
