Solar is an integral part of BYLTup’s business philosophy as a roofing contractor, according to the company’s owner Trevor L. and his brother Brady. So when it came time to do some maintenance on their mother’s roof, Trevor was adamant that Timberline Solar™ would be her best option.
“Timberline Solar is the best of the best,” Trevor said. “It’s a big win when we convince customers to buy it.” This customer (his own mother) didn’t need much convincing, however. “My mom bought the roof herself, by the way,” he shared. “We didn’t even give her a free roof; she paid for it!”
Trevor’s mother, Penelope, said she chose Timberline Solar™ because of her passion to pass down a home with a high property value, the reassurance of lower electricity bills, and the environmental impact of an energy-saving solar roof.
Penelope wants to pass down a home with a sound roof and high property value. “It’s really about my legacy,” Penelope recalled. “It’s what I leave behind. I want to do good for my family.” Energy-efficient homes tend to hold more value, according to the Department of Energy, since the average monthly electricity costs are lower.
Furthermore, Penelope wanted to pass down a nice home with an aesthetically pleasing design, and nothing beats Timberline Solar™’s seamless visual appeal. She raved about the beauty of her solar roof to family, friends, and co-workers. Trevor remembers a particularly striking comment she made in reply to his compliment of her new roof. He told his mom, “it looks so good.” Penelope thought her Timberline Solar looked more than good. “My roof looks sexy!” she exclaimed with a laugh.
Penelope knew that going solar would support her household savings and energy independence. If she passed this home down, she could worry less about her family struggling with high electricity bills. Living in sunny Southern California, Penelope knew that she would most likely produce more energy than needed, especially in the summertime. Her local utility company would then be able to credit her for any excess electricity that went to the grid.
“She already didn’t have a huge electric bill, but now with Timberline Solar™ she’s basically wiped out her electric bill,” Trevor said.
Going solar also contributes to a safer, greener planet. Penelope expressed pride in being part of a movement that emphasizes sustainability and eco-conscious practices. Not only will she be contributing to a healthier environment, but she will inspire her grandkids and great-grandkids to do the same. Penelope told GAF Energy she is honored to be passing down a home that is durable, renewably powered, and cost-effective—and one that looks amazing.
The story of Penelope and her sons represents solar roofing as the new paradigm. Choosing a solar roof for your home means contributing to the acceleration of renewable energy use. That’s a great accomplishment, for now and for generations to come—just ask the mother of the BYLTup roofers.
