Lots of people are considering a flat to pitched roof conversion. With the improvements in flat roof technology, many people tried to have a flat roof structure for their home, only to find out that the materials will eventually deteriorate, resulting in a need for repairs and / or a full replacement. For this reason, many people have decided to completely remove their flat roof, and go for the tried and tested structure of a pitched roof. This technology has been around for thousands of years, and is proven to be very effective at avoiding any moisture egress, meaning that damage, and therefore the maintenance required, is kept to an absolute minimum. With a flat roof, no matter what materials you use, the likelihood is that there will eventually be water damage, and a need for a complete replacement for the roof.
