Everyone’s home is their castle—but some carry out the resemblance more fully than others! If your dwelling is inspired by a complex design, the roof is likely equally complex. Whether you’re still in the building process or keeping your dream home beautiful, you need specialty roofing services for the intricate construction involved.
Here are just a few architectural features that will require a little extra care and planning with regards to roofing:
- Balconies and terraces: While typically partially outdoors (and therefore structured differently than a roof covering the mainframe of your house), covered balconies and terraces still need to stand up to weather. In the case of a terrace, the roof is a combination next floor, so it will need to be built for foot traffic as well!
- Turrets: These striking features, taking the form of a partially protruding attached tower, form a peaked dome at their tops—each dome also forms its own miniature roof, requiring careful design.
- Multiple peaks: Many styles of homes feature asymmetrical facades, cross gables, or other designs that result in more than one peak in the roof.
Each of the above specialty roofing services may need additional flashing, ventilation, and other considerations to look and perform its best through the years. So what constitutes a “specialty roofer”? There’s no formal certification, but someone who can meet your needs likely has at least several years of experience like we do. We are happy to show you examples of our past projects that span an array of specialty roofing services, from ornate homes to churches to dock roofing.
No matter how elaborate or simple your property style may be, maintaining the roof and its surrounding junctures is vital for more than just looks—it’s a crucial part of keeping it standing.
