Essential Roofing Terms

Just like any other field, roofing construction also has its set of terminologies that all roofers should know. In fact, even homeowners need to know these as they are important when trying to check on something that’s wrong on the roof or when there is a roofing project.

If you ever contracted local roofing companies, you probably heard about words such as squares, decking, shingles, gutter, and many more. These are essential parts of your home’s roof that you need to be able to identify, especially when there are troubles or maintenance jobs that need to be done.
