“Being green only starts with roofing. IQV believes in living green and that is why we instituted a recycling program not only for our roofing materials but also for our construction debris,” says Mike Green, IQV co-founder. “We are committed to changing the way roofing and construction have been done for decades by constantly looking for recycling improvements to implement into all of our daily activities.”

Few major building systems contribute to green building in as many ways as the roof does.  A professionally installed asphalt shingle roofing system from IQV Construction & Roofing can increase your home’s durability by controlling moisture, help improve energy efficiency, support renewable energy, and help to improve indoor air quality.  And at the end of its long service life, asphalt shingle roofing is widely recycled into asphalt pavement, meaning that in many cases your old roof can become a new road.
