  • roof deck insulation.you can buy pieces with pitch I.E. inch tick on one side down to inch on the other

  • There are companies out there that retrofit existing flat roofs with metal roofs. They add a frame and then secure panels to the frame. While they do that, you may want them to add additional insulation to the roof as well as make sure they add proper guttering and downspouts to the roof.

    Another alternative is spray polyurethane foam. This can be much more cost effective and is sustainable. However, with foam you would not want to do darker colors.

  • Our mobile had the roof re-done. All they did was frame the new roof right on top of the old roof. They gave it a much steeper pitch and some over-hanging eves, which it really needed ’cause it had none before. Never had any issues.
