If you have had to have a roof constructed, repaired, or renovated, you will know that roofs are more complex than they appear. From deciding the materials of the building to its slope, tiling, height, and load-bearing capacity, many details must be considered before it is designed and built.

Roof carpentry is a technical service and requires the services of honed professionals like the Grand Build team to get the following things right:

Materials

At Grand Build, we only use materials that are suitable for the project. If the roof requires light materials that are not a safety hazard, we use lightweight materials that provide shelter. Still, at the same time, we won’t compromise on its quality or durability.

However, if the roof carpentry requirements differ, and, the need of the hour is an aesthetically pleasing roof structure, we still ensure the use of long-lasting, durable materials during construction.

Foundation

While the roof might be far from the base of the building, it is important that the foundation of the roof itself be sturdy. While we understand that aesthetic appeal is important, we ensure that the roof’s structural integrity is intact before anything else.

Trusses

Trusses are the critical element of a roof. Trusses provide the structural integrity, stability, and load distribution for the roof. At Grand Build we make sure that the technical elements of trusses, such as the chord, web members, span and pitch, connector plates and bracing are all in line with the roof design.

Here is a little bit of information about the different aspects of Trusses that we look into:

Chord: These elements are the top and bottom elements of a truss, where the top chord bears the compression forces of a roof, while the bottom chord bears tension. Our team makes sure to use only the best materials for these critical aspects of roofs for their roof carpentry services.

Web Members: These items are used to provide lateral stability for the trusses.

Span and pitch: This refers to the roof’s width and slope. The span and pitch are important aspects for the overall look and covered space of the roof and are also important for rain and snow runoff. The steeper the slope, the faster the run-off.
