Tips for Great Roofing Installation

For example, composition roofing can only be installed on a roof which has a minimum pitch of a minimum of 3/12. Still one more thing that you should consider is that if the roof pitch has ended 6/12 that you have the proper equipment to insure you don't fall off.
