Cincinnati Roofing Experts Discuss Pitches and Their Value To A Home

Russell Chowdhury October 10, 2020 Construction Leave a Comment

When we think about a roof, we need to think beyond the parts such as the ventilation, chimneys, shingles, and decorations that surround it. In many cases, the pitch of the roof itself is one of the most important factors to consider. Roofs come in various shapes and sizes, some are flat, some are an angled, some are “butterfly” roofs, “bonnet roofs” or A-frame roofs which are slightly like the ones we are referring to in this article. Some are made of metal, or wood while others are made of glass.

One of the things that this adds to a home is value, or worth. The value of each of these to the entirety of the home is often missed. This is where we come in, this article discusses the quick idea of how a pitch adds or removes value to a home. Something you may want to consider the next time you plan on buying or selling one. In most cases, this must be considered especially when building one.

Custom Building Your Home

When building a home from scratch, from the ground up, there are various elements that are usually considered starting from the smallest things such as the material of the ground or garden to slightly larger items such as the roof of the house and what materials it should be made from, and what angle it should be installed as well.

The main reason for this decision is based not only on how it will look and the aesthetic appeal of it, but also how much it will add in monetary value to the building. Depending on which city you live in and the other factors such as the interiors of the home and the land it sits on. When custom building your space, you get to choose which one fits the best. Choosing the right one can increase the value by ten-fold when you sell it years from now.

How A Pitch is Decided

So, you’ve decided you do not want a flat roof but rather a pitched one. How do you decide what the pitch should be? and roofing in Cincinnati is a very common and daily part of life for most of the folk that lives around here. When you call an expert to help you out you are guaranteeing that it is done the right way.

Say for example we have a roof that is 6/12 inches, your typical middle-ground option. The first number, 6”, measures the vertical rise, and the second one of 12” measures the horizontal length. So, to elaborate on this point, it is to say that for one foot of this horizontal length of 12”, the roof slopes upward six inches. The lower this pitch will be in numbers, for instance, if it is 3/13, then it will be towards a “flatter” consideration.

There are plenty of positive things regarding building a house with a steep roof as opposed to a flat one, for instance, any weather elements such as water from rain or snow, will run down much easier and not cause any water puddles on it, which as we already know has its repercussions when left untreated https://www.architecturelab.net/how-to-protect-your-roof-and-home-from-water-damage/

Standing water has been known to cause havoc in some homes from deteriorating roofs to mold, mildew, and breeding places for mosquitoes. Leaves get clogged up there if not treated and causing a mess that will need to be cleaned frequently. Another advantage of this type of roof is that it provides more space underneath it, for instance, if you want to have a loft or attic conversion you will be able to add an extra room up there much more easily than having to build one entirely new is the roof was flat. Plus, the added benefit of airflow helps keep the home nice and cool in summer. They also look nicer and have a far greater aesthetic appeal to them than any of the other types of roofs available in many portfolios click here, while the airflow keeps the place cool in summer and warm in winter because it also can trap warm air inside.

As mentioned above the main thing is to add value to any home, whilst doing this. The cost may be slightly more than a flat roof, as with the flat roofs there is less need for materials so the costs are less. However, when deciding on the higher-pitched roof, you can easily make up for the costs when you sell the place, by a significant amount.

We hope the above information gives you some idea of what it takes to get a steeply pitched roof as part of your custom building, and how it can add a significant amount on top of the resale value if you ever decide to sell the place.
