Sloped Roofs

Sloped roofs are the most common type used on residential roofs. Sloped roofing can accommodate a variety of materials including: shingles, tile, metal, stone coated steel, wood, slate & composites and synthetics.

More importantly, sloped roofs allow water to channel off of the roof as opposed to a flat roof that allows water to pool, eventually leading to leaks and water infiltration of the structure. A well installed sloped roof can give a home or building 40+ years of life, although it will take regular maintenance to get the maximum life out of it.

The roof is the most important line of defense against rain and the elements when protecting your home or office. It is also the most critical element for saving energy since it has to seal your home like an envelope.
