There are many questions that go through a homeowners head when contemplating roof repair or roof replacement. My roof leaks, do I need to replace it? When should I do it? Do these roofers do good work? What material should I use? Do I also need siding repair done? One question that we frequently skip over is what’s going to happen with the old roofing material? Usually we assume that the roofers will take care of it, and most of the time that’s the case. But it’s not the best solution available. Parking a dumpster at the base of your house and throwing the shingles in to be carted off to the nearest dump is a standard issue answer, but there are better ones readily available.
Roof tear-offs account for roughly 11 million tons of landfill waste each year. Asphalt shingles represent up to 10 percent of an average residential jobsite waste. This is an incredible amount of material, and recent research and development has come up with alternative methods of disposal that have less impact on the environment. The primary method for recycling asphalt shingles is to grind them up into a fine powder and use them in composite materials used to make asphalt for paving and repairing roads. Common asphalt shingles can be given a second life, easing the costs of road construction and simultaneously helping out the environment.
Most roofers also prefer this option, largely because of the financial benefits. Recycling plants are commonly closer to cities than landfills, meaning that roofers don’t have to employ as many trucks to cart off the waste. As well, it is cheaper to recycle than dump. On average, landfills charge $40 per ton deposited. By switching to recycling, usually a load will save around $10 per ton. This may not seem like an immense amount, but multiplied over the number of houses worked on throughout the year, the number can really add up.
Prince William County Housing Market
Concern with the effect on the natural environment is a major concern for many communities throughout the United States, and especially in Prince William County, Virginia. Inside the county there are four protected areas, some for nature and others for historical significance: the Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge, the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge, and the Prince William Forest Park.
For potential residents, a better situation couldn’t be requested. Large companies and employers, such as U.S. Department of Defense, Walmart, and Target Corporation, draw heavily on the workforce in the area, which creates a thriving professional environment. The emphasis on decreasing the impact on the environment makes for a green, lush landscape with a variety of plant and animal life. The proximity to major travel and government hubs, such as Washington, D.C., mean that those who want to stay connected to other parts of the country and the inner workings of the legislative system of the nation can do so freely.
The pricing of the various homes in the housing market in Prince William County has steadily declined, in large part, due to the fact that many homeowners were still seeking prices common in 2005. This trend has ebbed in the last year or so and, as such, sellers are asking less from the beginning and are consequently selling their homes for closer to their original asking price. Interest rates continue to be fairly low for the area, making it a great time to buy. Rental prices throughout the county have begun to rise, and market analysts who have examined similar trends state that the housing market will be close behind.
