Knowing the difference between terms like "shingle" and "tile," or "pitch" and "slope," can help ensure that you choose the right products and services for your needs. It can also prevent misunderstandings and miscommunications between you and your roofing contractor, ultimately leading to a smoother and more successful project outcome. By taking the time to learn the vocabulary of the roofing industry, you can feel more confident and empowered in your decision-making process.
