Expert comment:
My 25 years of experience in construction says: up to 50% of insulated roofs are built with errors. They can lead to significant costs within 1-2 years. Almost 70% of attics are dark and cramped due to inappropriate space planning and lighting. In 30% of attics, a technical solution leads to an overpayment for the material.
Many mistakes can be prevented and corrected during the roof construction phase. Find out below how to do it yourself with an expert.
Step 1. Check the roof for obvious mistakes
The roof is an important part of the construction of the house. Roof errors can lead to leaks and damage to property. Therefore, it is so important that all its elements are made according to the rules and without errors. For an initial check, use a simple checklist "6 Common Roofing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them."
Step 2. Check the layout and lighting of the attic
Your home can look amazing on the outside, and the attic inside can be dark and cramped.
When building, take into account the peculiarities of organizing space with inclined walls. Then the attic will be comfortable and bright. The checklist "5 attic mistakes and how to fix them" will help you navigate.
