Can a flat roof be raised?

• <div><p>Technically a flat roof can be raised but it’s extremely expensive and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-flat-roofs.htm">flat roofs</a> don’t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.</p></div>

How can you find a quality roofing contractor?

• <div><p>Look for certified local roofing contractors with plenty of experience working with cedar. There are also several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-hiring-roofer.htm">important roofing questions to ask</a> before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-choosing-roofing-contractor.htm">choosing a roofer</a>, including whether they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Once you’ve rounded up a few good candidates, compare estimates and hire whoever gives you the best bang for your buck.</p></div>

Q: Can a flat roof be raised?

• <div><p>Technically a flat roof can be raised but it&rsquo;s extremely expensive and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-flat-roofs.htm">flat roofs</a> don&rsquo;t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification.</p></div>

Q: Is it more inexpensive to build or buy roof trusses?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re building the roof trusses yourself, which isn&rsquo;t recommended, it will be more affordable than buying pre-built trusses. Trusses cost more because they use the same amount of material, but you&rsquo;ll also be paying for the labor, as well as the delivery to your home. However, if you&rsquo;re having a contractor build the roof for you, then trusses will be less expensive, as the labor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/roof-framing-cost.htm">costs to build roof framing</a> on-site will cost more. </p></div>

Q: Can I negotiate the terms of the roofing estimate with the contractor?

• <div><p>Whether or not the terms of your roofing estimate are negotiable depends on the contractor. Some professional roofers will be willing to budge on labor fees to some extent, while others will simply walk away from the potential work rather than lower their fees. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best not to negotiate the terms, as lower labor charges could lead to your contractor cutting corners. Material costs aren&rsquo;t negotiable, but you could purchase them yourself to try to save on delivery fees and markups.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to use for a shed roof?

• <div><p>The best material for your shed roof depends on your budget and personal preferences. For instance, if you&rsquo;re looking for the most cost-effective option, rolled roofing is your best bet. Just be aware that it only lasts for five to eight years. If you prefer something with a longer life span (and you&rsquo;re willing to pay for that durability), consider slate shingles, which can last for hundreds of years.</p></div>
