What Are the Different Layers of a Roof?

One of the most crucial aspects of a home, which is often overlooked, is the roof. At Martin Pitts Construction, we understand the significance of a roofing system, and we believe that every homeowner should too. We’ve put together some of the essentials about roof layers designed to shed light on a topic that is integral to your home’s health and safety. 

When it comes to roofs, most people only see the surface: the shingles, tiles, or metal that make up the outermost layer. However, a roof is much more complex than what meets the eye. It's like an onion in that it consists of multiple layers, each serving a unique purpose and all working together to protect your home from the elements.
