When building or replacing a roof, the shape matters. Here’s how flat and pitched roofs compare:

Flat Roofs:

• Pros: Modern aesthetic, easier to install solar panels, usable space for HVAC units or rooftop decks.
• Cons: Prone to water pooling; requires more frequent maintenance in rainy climates.

Best For: Modern homes, commercial properties, or dry climates.

Pitched Roofs:

• Pros: Excellent drainage, longer lifespan, traditional look, and more insulation space.
• Cons: Higher cost, more complex installation.
• Best For: Traditional homes, colder climates with snow or heavy rain.

Design Tip: Your roof’s shape should match both your home’s architecture and your local weather. At Uplux Homes, we’ll help you decide based on your style, budget, and climate needs.
