Should You Change Your Roof Pitch?

Many upgrades can be done to your house, even just for your roofing alone. Although this area is often overlooked, it is in fact a dominant feature that defines the entirety of your home. One of the things that can be done with it is to have it pitched. However, is it really necessary to do so? Today, your roofing contractor will share possible reasons that may convince you to continue with the project.

1. Additional Head Room. If you dream of having vaulted ceilings or just an extra attic space to store your belongings, changing the pitch of your roof can achieve the results you want. These transitions can quickly be done with your existing structure, but it is always best to consult your roofer before undertaking such a project.
2. Avoid Serious Problems. Roof replacement is ideal if your roof is rotting or sagging, as these indicate that there are issues with your roof’s decking and the fundamental components. You won’t see this problem as often in a well-maintained home, most especially with a more angled roof.
3. Increased Curb Appeal. Most experts note that the steeper your roof is, the more visible it is from the ground. Because a steep roof may use up more materials and, therefore, cost more upfront, it is something your roofer may recommend. This makes so much sense if you’re looking to boost your home’s curb appeal and overall value.
4. New Home Addition. Like getting an additional headroom, you will have to replace your roof if you are building up. Remember that it is a great time to change your roof’s pitch to accommodate the addition and drastically change how your home looks from the outside with sheet metal.
