Q: What is the roof pitch of a Cape Cod house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-roof-pitch.htm">roof pitch</a> on a Cape Cod house is normally 8/12 or 10/12, meaning the roof rises 8 to 10 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. This is steeper than the now-standard 6/12 pitch, as Cape Cod homes were originally popular in northern states, where the steeper pitch helped snowfall slide readily off the roof. </p></div>

Q: What happens if a roof pitch is too shallow?

• <div><p>A roof pitch that&rsquo;s too shallow won&rsquo;t shed runoff as quickly, so you have an increased risk of water intrusion through the seams between your roofing materials. In colder climates, snow and ice will accumulate more easily on your roof, which can add enough weight to cause roof collapse and structural damage to your home. </p></div>

Q: Can you put granules back on shingles?

• <div><p>You cannot replace granules that have been lost off shingles. The granule embedding process is part of shingle manufacturing, and once the bond holding the granules to the shingles has been lost, the granules are gone for good. Shingles with granule loss must be fully replaced to continue offering adequate protection.</p></div>

Q: How long does roof decking last?

• <div><p>Properly maintained roof decking can last between 20 and 30 years on average, though it varies based on a few factors. Mainly, the quality of roof decking materials and environmental conditions have the most impact on longevity. You can extend its lifespan by regularly inspecting your roof and making repairs as necessary.</p></div>

Q: What is a good roof slope for snow?

• <div><p>The most common slope range for roofs on houses in snowy areas is between <b>4/12 and 6/12</b>, or <b>50%</b>. A roof with a slope of less than <b>10%</b>, or roughly a<b> 2/12 pitch</b>, won&rsquo;t be effective at shedding snow. However, roofs that are too steep can allow large amounts of snow to build up and fall all at once, creating a hazard for those on the ground. </p></div>
