Your roof has more influence over your home's energy performance than most homeowners realize. A conventional dark asphalt roof absorbs solar radiation and transfers that heat directly into your attic, forcing your HVAC system to work harder through Murfreesboro's hot summers. Energy-efficient roofing systems are designed to reflect solar energy, reduce heat transfer into the living space, and meaningfully reduce your cooling costs. At Roof Repair Expert LLC, we install the full range of cool and energy-efficient roofing systems for homes and commercial buildings throughout the area. Contact us today for a free estimate.
We offer every major energy-efficient roofing solution, from Energy Star-rated shingles to solar-integrated systems.

Two properties define a roof's energy performance: solar reflectance (the percentage of solar energy reflected away from the surface) and thermal emittance (the roof's ability to radiate absorbed heat back into the atmosphere rather than transferring it downward). A high solar reflectance index (SRI) rating indicates a roof that minimizes heat gain. Energy Star-rated roofing products have been tested and certified to meet minimum solar reflectance and thermal emittance thresholds, with documented energy savings in warm climates.
Reflective asphalt shingles incorporate granule technology to achieve higher solar reflectance than standard shingles while maintaining a conventional appearance. Reflective metal roofing — particularly standing seam and painted panel systems in light colors — offers some of the highest SRI values available and is one of the most effective cool roofing options. Cool roof coatings can be applied to existing flat roofing systems to improve their reflective performance without full replacement.
Solar integration can be approached in two ways: mounting conventional solar panels on a solar-ready roof, or installing integrated solar shingles that function as both roofing material and solar generation surface. Conventional panel installation on a properly installed, solar-ready roof is the more cost-effective option for most homeowners and offers the highest energy generation per dollar invested. Integrated solar products like GAF Timberline Solar offer a more seamless aesthetic with fewer mounting penetrations. We can prepare your roof for solar installation or handle the full solar roofing system.
Studies by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the EPA document that cool roofs can reduce cooling energy use by 10 to 30 percent in warm climates, depending on the climate zone, roof area, and existing insulation levels. In Middle Tennessee's climate, the energy savings from a reflective roofing system can be meaningful over the life of the roof.
TVA and participating local power companies offer rebates and incentive programs for qualifying energy-efficient home improvements. Certain solar installations may also qualify for federal tax credits. We'll help you identify rebates and incentives applicable to your project during the estimate process.
Modern Energy Star-rated shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles, including many darker tones that achieve reflective performance through granule technology rather than light color. You don't have to sacrifice aesthetics for energy performance.
Yes. Middle Tennessee's hot, sunny summers create significant cooling loads, and the reduction in attic heat gain from a reflective roofing system translates directly to lower energy bills and reduced HVAC wear.
