Roofing Design Tips for Your Home
With
home renovations
being a popular thing among many homeowners, there are a number of different types of projects that have gained popularity in the past few years. Not content to be left out, the rooftops of many homes have been subject to their own varying styles during home improvement projects as well.
With roofing design being as versatile as it is, it's definitely an aspect of home remodeling that you should consider if working on improving your home is something that is in your near future.
With the home's roof being as prominent as it is, you'll want a roof that is attractive and welcoming but, at the same time, you need to have function to compliment form. Along with your roof beautifying your home, you want to make sure that it effectively protects both the home and your family as well.
Keeping that in mind, there are a number of different things that you need to consider when you're choosing the design for your home's roof. We'll take a look at the different aspects of a roof's design, things like shape and material, in order to help you choose what's best for the particular project that you're planning
By taking these things into account, you should be able to come up with a truly unique design that you can call your own and be rightfully proud of.
The shape of the roof is the first aspect of roofing design that many people notice and you can use that as the basis for forming your ideas about what you want to do.
Some rooftops, like the gable roof and the hip roof, are shapes that are popular with many homeowners while others, like the mansard and saltbox roof shapes are seen less frequently and tend to stand out as a result.
When looking at the shape of a roof, it's important to consider the inherent advantages and disadvantages that each style has. Gable rooftops, for instance, are relatively cheap and easy to build compared to other styles, but they are easily damaged by high winds because they are not often properly braced to withstand the winds.
Alternatively, a hip roof is a well liked roofing design because it can withstand high winds that would damage a gable roof but, at the same time, it has less internal roof space. This makes access for regular maintenance a bit more difficult and has been known to leave less room for storage space if you have an attic in your home.
These are just some examples of the different shapes that a roof can come in but, no matter which shape you look at, you have to go beyond simple aesthetic qualities and make sure that it adequately suits your needs before you decide to make it part of your home remodeling project.
The other main important part of the home's roof is the material that it's made out of.
Like the shape of the roof, the material is a part of the roofing design that's as important as it is varied.
Some materials that rooftops can be made out of include wood, metal and asphalt and, like the shape, each material has its inherently good qualities as well as its drawbacks. Wood, for example, has a very pleasing aesthetic quality but a relatively short life compared to other materials. Wood also has to be specially treated to be waterproof in case of rain.
Metal, on the other hand, is long lasting and somewhat low maintenance. It's also energy efficient because of its heat retaining properties. On the other hand, its weight sometimes calls for support beams to be built inside the house and hail can create unsightly dents that are very costly to remove.
These are just a few examples of what you get with different roofing materials. It's important to be thorough in your research when coming up with your roofing design, as you not only need to consider your budget, but the type of weather that your area sees as well.
Once you've taken everything into consideration, you can come up with a truly unique design to cap off your home remodeling project!

Do I need a top plate for rafters on a porch roof?
I'm building a gable roof over a 10x26 porch with 6x6 corner posts. I have dual 2x8's running from the corner posts to the house. Do I need to run a top plate on top of the 2x8's for the rafters to sit on -- or can I just cut the bird's eye and have the rafters sit directly on the 2x8's on end. I'm told I need a top plate, but I don't understand the purpose of it in this case.

We don't have codes in my county -- so maybe someone could tell me what is industry standard.
If you're sure you have no code in your area, then I say let common sense rule. If you can't come up with a good reason for a top plate in your particular application, then go without it. That's what I would do.
