[Hidden-tech] Looking for a Green roofer who's good and reliable

[Stacy Kontrabecki]

Coppingers Builders just finished installing a standing seam metal roof 
on my house on Monday. Excellent! They only do standing seam. They are 
top shelf, particular, and impressed my contractor husband beyond belief 
(Whip's very finicky, hence the Uptight Insulator name for his eco-biz.) 
All Englert metal colors they use - even the black - qualify for the 
federal Energy Star tax credit since their reflectivity is so high. 
413-367-9137 or 413-522-5874 mobile.  If you are wanting asphalt (not so 
eco-minded), call them and get the name of the only contractor they 
refer people to - and study up on asphalt shingles as some only last 5 
years. Metal roofing done right is good for decades, so energy used for 
install, disposal, maintenance is lower overall. The standing seams are 
ideal for clipping on PV, which is another reason we picked them.

If you want link to pics of install when I upload them, write me. Roof 
was put on old 1790 house that was stripped of 2 layers ashphalt, 1 
cedar shingles, a shimmed exoskeleton built over old roofline and 
plywooded over wide hemlock original boards. Neato.
