    Frequently Asked Questions

    Flat roofs and pitched roofs serve different purposes with unique advantages. A minimal slope of 1 to 4 degrees characterizes a flat roof. In this regard, it is mainly appropriate for modern architectural designs and easier installation of HVAC or rooftop gardens. Their longevity of 15 to 20 years offers the chance to experience diverse looks in pool settings. On the contrary, pitched roofs with a slope of at least 4:12 are intended to drain water better and, as such, have an almost 20 to 50-year life cycle while reducing the need for maintenance.

    Measure the Length and Width: We start by measuring the length and width of our house. For example, if our house is 40 feet long and 30 feet wide, we multiply these dimensions. 
    Calculate the Base Area: We calculate the base area by multiplying the length and width. In our case, 40 ft x 30 ft = 1,200 square feet
    Consider Roof Slope: If our roof is sloped, we also need to measure the height of the roof’s slope and multiply the length by this height to find the area of one side of the roof. 
    Total Roof Area: If we have multiple sections, we sum the areas of all sections to get the total roof area.

    Durability, cost, and aesthetics are factors to consider when making a decision between asphalt shingles and fiberglass shingles. There are two types of asphalt shingles; organic and fiberglass. Organic asphalt shingles are considerably stronger and last for many more years but will cost the owner much more money. Compare that to fiberglass, which is lightweight and resistant, capable of withstanding many brutal climates for 50 years, giving homeowners a solid choice for longevity. Think about how much money you will be able to spend based on the climate in which you reside and the architectural style of your home when trying to make the most suitable choice for you.

    • Identify Load Types: We recognize the two main types of loads: live load (temporary, like people and furniture) and dead load (permanent, like the roof materials).
    • Measure Area: We measure the area of the roof in square feet to determine how the load is distributed. 
    • Calculate Live Load: Our certified roofing cost estimators estimate the live load, often using a standard value (e.g., 20-30 PSF for residential roofs).
    • Calculate Dead Load: We sum the weights of all structural components (e.g., roofing materials) to find the dead load.
    • Total Load Calculation: We add the live load and dead load together to find the total load on the roof, expressed in pounds per square foot (PSF).

    Generally, the life cycle of various materials differs within a broad spectrum depending on what material it is and the installation as well. Asphalt shingles have an average lifespan ranging between 15 to 20 years; however, fiberglass can extend up to around 50 years under ideal conditions. While metal roofs last between 40 and 70 years, slate and tile roofs outlive this by over 100 years, making them exclusive and long-lasting materials. Flat roofs are the shortest-lived, with a typical life span of 15 to 20 years.

    • Measure the Roof Length: We begin by measuring the total length of the roof. For example, if it’s 40 feet, we’ll use this measurement for our calculations.
    • Calculate Half the Length: Our experts divide the roof length by two to determine the span that each truss will cover. For our 40-foot roof, each truss will cover 20 feet.
    • Determine Truss Spacing: Our estimators establish how far apart we want to place the trusses. Common spacing is between 24 to 36 inches.
    • Calculate the Number of Trusses: We can calculate the total number of trusses needed by dividing the total roof length by the distance between trusses. For example, if using 2-foot spacing on a 40-foot roof, we would need 20 trusses.
    • Consult Design Guidelines: We adhere to structural principles and local building codes.
