Abstract
Aging flat roofs can be modernized with pitched roofs. Southern Pine roof trusses and plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) roof decks are often specified to solve leakage problems, reduce energy costs, and improve a building's appearance. The cost of adding a p[itched roof is often returned with lower energy and maintenance costs within five years.
