Carl, Is building a flat roof style home practical in an area that has a lot of snow and rain in the winter time?
And, is the cost of the flat roof more or less than a pitched roof?
Thanks,
Tony
Hi Tony,
Flat roofs are practical in almost any climate if they are properly and professionally installed and maintained.
I personally like flat roofs. I have had flat roofs on parts of houses in Western MI. Weather doesn’t get much worse than there.

In heavy snow areas, maintenance may include roof snow removal if necessary. The weight of the snow on a flat roof is greater...continued.
