Roofing Types

What kind of roofing do you have? Is it a flat roof or a residential roof?

Every building needs unique roofing products and design plans that account for factors such as the shape of the building, use and additional features (such as a patio or a chimney). In the roofing industry, there are generally two ways roofing contractors talk about roofs: steep slope and low slope. A steep-slope roof is typically used on residential homes and a low-slope roof on commercial, industrial or institutional buildings. But there are always exceptions and, here at AskARoofer, we know those two terms might be a bit unfamiliar, so we have designed this page to help you identify your roof!
