Whether you’re planning to get vaulted ceilings inside your home or want to change the look of your home to a bungalow or cottage style, you’ll need to change your roof’s pitch. This refers to the slant or steepness of your roof’s slope, which is determined by the walls, ridges, and rafters in your attic space. Changing its pitch requires careful planning, so to help you out, our seamless gutter experts at Deschutes Roofing explain what you need to consider.
Changing your roof’s pitch requires bigger structural changes to your current roofing system. This means replacing the eaves, props, internal walls, and ridges. It’s a big investment, so you’ll want to do it right to avoid costly mistakes. This means working with a trusted contractor who has the right expertise for the job.
Many of these structural changes are necessary to ensure your new roof is built properly. Even if you have an existing sloped roof over your home, a full replacement may be necessary especially if you have significant damage or a serious rot problem within the structure. Most professionals in roofing repairs will recommend this if you already have a sagging roof that can collapse at any time.
Even if you currently have a low-sloped or flat roof that’s been regularly maintained, you might be wondering how you can raise the ceilings inside your home. While this could be done to your existing roofing structure, you should still have it inspected by a trusted contractor to determine if structural changes are needed. Changing your roof’s pitch can cost as much as a room addition to your home, so you might want to consider adding another story since you’ll be replacing your current roof anyway. This makes for a great way to redesign the shape of your roof that can make a big visual impact on your home!
