Commercial steep slope roofs present a distinct set of challenges compared to their low-slope counterparts. These challenges necessitate specialized engineering, meticulous installation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. This article delves into the complexities of steep slope roofs, underscores the importance of proper engineering and installation, and highlights how Goad Construction consistently delivers superior quality and service.

What is a steep slope roof?

Steep slope roofs are architectural elements characterized by a pitch greater than 3:12 (where for every 12 units of horizontal distance, the rise is at least three units). This steep angle allows for efficient shedding of rainwater and snow, reducing the risk of water pooling and damage and enhancing longevity.

Known for their aesthetic appeal and superior water-shedding properties, steep-slope roofs are found on churches, malls, commercial buildings, multi-unit residential properties, ski resorts, storage facilities, and restaurants. Unlike low-slope roofs, steep-sloped roofs often feature architectural elements such as gables, dormers, and intricate roof shapes, adding visual interest to the building’s exterior.
