Roofing Services Brighton Michigan
A house needs a roof. Without one, it would be a less-than-ideal building of some sort, but not really a house. The roofing process is roughly the same, whether it is for a small house or a large house, or whether in the suburb of Brighton, Michigan, or the big city of Detroit. A roof consists of several layers. The bottom layer is the structure, consisting of rafters, which support the upper layers of the roof. Above the structure is the decking, or sheathing, which covers the house. A protective layer of asphalt-derived material, called the underlayment, goes over the decking. The roof covering is the top-most layer; it consists of any given material, such as shingles, tiles, or whatever is necessary for the roof design.
The system of layers is the same for virtually every modern roof, at least in principle. The overall design can and will differ. To combat damage caused by weather, such as rain and snow, a roof must have a drainage system. The drainage system will vary, depending on the overall shape of the roof, the angles of the roof, the geographical location of the house, and other factors. Since the roof, like the walls, protect the inside of the house from whatever is outside, the material must be strong enough to endure the weather, as well as have a clever design to prevent raindrops leaking inside the house. If a roof does not protect the house in the ways described above, then a professional should repair any flaws in the roof. ATB Building is a professional roofing contractor in Brighton MI.
