These events affected the roofing industry tremendously, shooting up the prices of raw materials and services. From the production of roof shingles and other raw materials to logistics and roofing services, prices are on a sharp hike and are expected to continue throughout the year. The cost of some metal products (steel and aluminum) in Denver, Fort Collins, Pueblo, and other places in Colorado is on a 25% hike, while that of metal accessories is up 35%, the highest spike in quite some time. Then there are the plates and fasteners, which although experience lesser spikes, still, a 10% hike is too much for some contractors.

Solar panels are here to stay, and if all goes well, forever.

There is no limit to the energy of the Sun, unlike other non-renewable sources, and solar panels can help us leverage it to obtain unlimited power. However, a lot of homeowners are reluctant to install solar panels. Some look at it as an unnecessary expenditure, while others find it too costly. But do you know how much value it can add to your lives? Besides helping you preserve the environment by preventing the depletion of non-renewable energy, solar panels can indeed work down your energy bills in the long run.
