Energy costs are a perennial concern for Alaskan homeowners. With the heating season extending, improving home insulation becomes crucial. NexRemodel, a comprehensive roofing services provider, recently promoted its energy-efficient roof coating service to help residents effectively reduce winter heat loss.

The company points out that many traditional dark roofs absorb solar heat, but in Alaska, this is insufficient to compensate for the significant heat loss. High-reflectivity, flexible coatings applied by professional roof coating contractors provide insulation in winter and reflect sunlight in summer, reducing the need for air conditioning. The coating seals gaps and holes in the roof, preventing heat loss and essentially “putting a warm cap” on the house.

For homeowners considering roof replacement, NexRemodel recommends choosing a cool roofing material with high reflectivity to address energy efficiency at its source. However, for families who do not want large-scale renovations and whose existing roofs are in good condition, coating treatment is a highly cost-effective upgrade option.

“This is more than just a repair,” a technical consultant said. “It’s a proactive energy improvement measure. We’ve seen many cases where customers have experienced a significant drop in their winter heating costs after applying our specialized coating.”
