What are the Two Types of Roofs?

The roof is among the first features people see when they visit your house, whether in a residential or commercial structure. For this reason, and for the occupants’ comfort and safety, you need to ensure that your roof is always in perfect condition.

When it comes to roof maintenance, you do not have to worry about anything, especially if you are a Houston, Texas resident. We at Eldridge Roofing & Restoration have more than 25 years of experience serving clients and ensuring that their roofs are in good condition. You can call us today at (281) 999-4663 to get a quote.

Why would you need Roofing Services?

As a homeowner, you are supposed to be vigilant. Do not wait until your roof starts leaking, or you see paddles on your floor.

Some signs that you may need roof repair of replacement include:

Too much growth of mold and moss on the roof surface
Your roof decking is sagging or staining on its underside
Shingles and tiles that are worn out missing, cracked, or curled
Loose or no flashing around the vents and chimneys

Too many leaks

There are two types of roofs: Flat and sloping roofs. We shall look at each one individually.

Flat Roofs

This roofing system design was widespread in arid and semi-arid areas where there is no much rain. Flat roofs are ideal in such places because water drainage is of secondary importance. Such areas include the Middle East and Southwest America.

In the 19th century, flat roofs gained popularity in the rest of America and Europe. Roofers used structural steel and concrete as waterproof roofing materials, which contributed to flat roofs’ practicality.

Soon after, these types of roofs became the most common top covers for offices, warehouses, and other commercial buildings. Flat roofs were even used in some residential buildings.

Sloping Roofs

When I talk about sloping roofs, I refer to the other roofing covers that are not flat. The lean-to (shear), with only one slope, is the simplest sloping roof. Gable or pitched roof has two sloping sides that join to form “A”.

Gable roofs have been in use since the construction of ancient Greece temples. Additionally, for thousands of years, it has been used in most domestic buildings in northern Europe and the Americas. A hip or hipped roof is a type of gable roof whose ends are sloped instead of vertical.

Gambrel is another gable roof with two slopes on either side, but the lower slope is steeper than the upper one. Other types of sloping roofs include the dome, the vault, the mansard, among others.

Reviews From Our Customers

Brandon and Eldridge Roofing did a spectacular job! They were thorough and informative. The knowledge and experience that he had, was extensive and he was exquisitely professional! This was my first insurance claim for my house. He walked me through every step and let me know what to expect and/or anticipate. I would recommend to anyone who needs a knowledgeable and patient roofing company!

Jackle Yakul

Spring, Texas

Michael was so thorough in explaining our options. He was nothing but professional. Everything happened as he explained it would. They did a wonderful job on our roof. And as Michael said, you couldn’t even tell they had been at our house and replaced a roof. Their clean up is remarkable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Eldridge Roofing for your roofing needs!

Leasha Davis

Spring, Texas

We’re very pleased with our new roof & customer service from Mike Marriott, Ashely & the crew. The roof looks great and our seasoned adjuster even commented on the great quality materials & workmanship. The crew was fast and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. After receiving quotes from several other roofing companies I am glad that we went with Eldridge and would highly recommend them.

Miranda Harris

Houston, Texas

Eldridge Roofing was recommended to me after I suspected my roof may have been damaged during a recent storm. Brandon Holland came out and thoroughly inspected every inch of my roof. He was able to clearly explain the problem and had a solution not far behind. The entire process from start to finish was exceptional. We will definitely be using Eldridge for any future issues or projects that may come up! Thanks again!

Sarah Grant

We discovered Eldridge Roofing from a neighbor and asked them to give us an estimate. We worked with Shannon who came as scheduled and worked efficiently with our insurance company to get us the best roof for the best price. He followed through with us every step of the way and we are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and complete honesty of Shannon and the rest of Eldridge staff. Highly Recommend!

Dorothy Chapman

I have used Eldridge Roofing at one our rent houses for a roof repair, and also a full internal repair from water damage from a burst pipe. At another rent house they replaced the whole roof and it was an hour and a half drive out of town for them. They also replaced the roof at my residence. Brandon the Project Manager is very professional and thorough. I highly recommend them.
