Here at Masters Roofing, we understand that your home is the most valuable possession you own. It takes years of savings to be able to build your dream home, that’s why it’s vital to not take every single detail of your home for granted.
If you have chosen to design your own home, you will likely choose your roof replacement at some point. And at this point, you will be torn between pitched roofs and flat roofs. Both systems have their own advantages, but we are going to focus on flat roofs.
Easy Access and Maintenance
Since it’s flat and there’s no slope, accessing a flat roof is easy. This makes it easy to conduct regular maintenance, both on its accessories like gutters and sidings and the roof itself. With the capability to easily get up there and check for issues, homeowners can avoid damage that may lead to costly repairs.
More Livable Space
While pitched roofs can offer additional attic space that flat roofs cannot give, the area is typically not suitable to use as a room. When you choose a flat roofing installation project, however, you may choose to have their interiors extended to the area where the roof begins, creating more livable space. And for flat roofs that have added support, it can also house a patio, creating additional space for outdoor entertainment.
Cost
One of the most important features of a flat roofing system is that the installation is less expensive than a typical pitched roof. Rafters and other specialized trusses are needed to build a pitched roof, while a flat roofing system only requires basic beams for support. As a result, fewer materials and less labor are needed, saving considerable money upfront.
Flat roofs are becoming popular in a residential setting thanks to their durability and affordability. With a variety of materials to choose from, homeowners with any budget can have their flat roofs installed by a reliable roofing contractor like Masters Roofing.
