The Benefits Of A Pitched Roof

If you are a homeowner and you think that your home’s roof may be deteriorating or aging, or even if it is rotting away from water damage, a new roof is probably the next best step you can take to ensure the safety and value of your home. However, the underlying cause of your roof problems may be that your roof is not pitched. When homes have a flat roof, there is potential for a lot of damage because water and built-up leaves and dirt can become stuck and unable to move off of the roof. Therefore, when you invest in your new roof, it would be a smart idea to consider a pitched roof instead.

Benefits of a pitched roof

• A pitched roof allows for better ventilation
• Insulation and solar panels are easier to install on roofs that are pitched (for thermal efficiency)
• Pitched roofs are resilient and can stand strong against the weather
• The rainwater that comes off of a pitched roof can be cleaned and reused
• Pitched roofs tend to be quite low maintenance and last a long time
• Provides additional space at a low cost
• Aesthetic appeal
