Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home; it protects everything inside from the elements. Therefore, hiring the right company to handle your roofing needs is important. Here are a few qualities to look for when choosing a roofing contractor at the Lake of the Ozarks to hire: 1. Well-Established.  When you get a new roof at the Lake of the Ozarks , you're making a large investment. You want to make sure you get a well-established company as opposed to a fly by night company who's just after your money.

Did you know that the pitch of your roof affects your choices in roofing material? Some materials work better for different types of roofs. Today's blog from the best roofing company at the Lake of the Ozarks discusses different types of roof pitch and what roofing materials work best with each type. What is Roof Pitch?  Roof pitch is a term that refers to the steepness (angle, slope or slant) of a roof. While some roofs are very steep, others are nearly flat. The slope of a roof is generally measured in fractions. The numerator refers to the height and the denominator refers to the width. For example, a roof slope measured at 5/12 means that there is a 5 foot rise in height for every 12 feet of width. For roofing purposes, the denominator will always be 12; you won't reduce it like you would a regular fraction. Average roof pitch will range from 4/12 to 8/12. Roofs with Steep Pitch High-pitched roofs are seen on Victorian-era homes. Soaring peaks are a rare example
