COOL ROOF SHINGLES
Energy-efficient shingles that reflect more sunlight and reduce cooling costs. Cool roof shingles keep your home more comfortable while lowering air conditioning expenses—perfect for Florida's hot climate.
Expert Cool Roof Shingles Services in Lake County
Cool roof shingles use specially coated granules that reflect more solar radiation than traditional shingles. This means less heat absorbed by your roof, lower attic temperatures, and reduced air conditioning costs—savings that matter in Florida's long, hot summers. For Lake County homeowners in Eustis, Mount Dora, and Tavares, cool roof technology offers real relief from our intense summer heat.
While all white and light-colored roofs reflect some heat, cool roof shingles use advanced granule technology to reflect infrared radiation even in darker colors. This allows homeowners to choose darker aesthetic shades while still gaining significant energy benefits. Combined with proper attic ventilation and insulation, cool roof shingles create a comprehensive energy-efficient roofing system.
At Pro Specialty Services, we recommend cool roof shingles for homeowners seeking to reduce energy costs without sacrificing appearance. The technology has matured, and today's cool roof products perform as well as they look. Whether you prefer architectural shingles or designer options, cool roof versions are available.
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed all offer ENERGY STAR-rated cool roof shingle lines. These products meet strict EPA requirements for solar reflectance and thermal emittance while maintaining the durability and aesthetics you expect from premium asphalt shingles. As a GAF Certified contractor, we install these products to manufacturer specifications for full warranty protection.
Why Cool Roof Technology Matters in Florida
Energy savings are substantial in our climate. Studies show cool roofs can reduce cooling costs by 10-15% in Florida homes. When your AC runs 8+ months of the year, these savings add up to hundreds of dollars annually.
Comfort improvement is noticeable. Attics stay cooler, which means less heat radiating into living spaces. Rooms feel more comfortable, and your AC reaches setpoints faster.
Roof longevity benefits too. Lower roof temperatures mean less thermal stress on roofing materials. Cool roofs age more slowly than hot roofs, potentially extending shingle life.

Common Questions
Studies show 10-15% reduction in cooling costs for Florida homes. For a Lake County home spending $200/month on AC, that's $20-30/month savings, or $240-360 annually. Savings depend on insulation, HVAC efficiency, attic ventilation, and other factors.
No—that's the beauty of modern cool roof technology. Advanced granule coatings reflect infrared heat even in darker colors. You can choose brown, gray, charcoal, or other shades while still gaining significant energy benefits. Most homeowners can't tell the difference visually.
Cool roof shingles typically cost 10-20% more than standard shingles. For most Lake County roofs, this adds $1,000-2,000. Energy savings over the roof's 20-30 year life typically exceed this additional cost significantly.
Florida is ideal for cool roof technology. Our long cooling season (8+ months) and intense sun mean maximum benefit from reflective roofing. Lake County homeowners see more significant energy savings here than in cooler climates.
Light colors naturally reflect more visible light. Cool roof technology goes further, using specially engineered granules that reflect infrared radiation (heat) even in darker colors. A dark-colored cool roof shingle can outperform a standard white shingle.
Florida's minimal heating needs mean winter impact is negligible. Central Florida homes cool 8-9 months per year but heat only 2-3 months. The annual net effect is significant savings. In cold climates this would be more of a consideration.
Absolutely. Cool roof shingles work best when combined with proper attic ventilation, radiant barriers, and adequate insulation. We can assess your entire attic system and recommend a comprehensive approach for maximum energy savings.
Cool roof shingles often last longer than standard shingles because they run cooler. Lower thermal stress means less expansion/contraction cycling, which extends material life. Many cool roof products come with 25-50 year warranties.
