Paint My Roof
Advocate white roofs. Having a white roof not only saves electricity and money, but it also helps cool the home and the planet.
Map and Paint NYC roofs. As an additional encouragement, White Tops will send a group of volunteers to paint your roof white for you at virtually no cost.
Research the effects of white roofs. Temperature and energy readings will be taken before and after the painting date to conduct research reports for the public.
