Stick framing requires larger pieces of lumber and more of it than other types of roofing. Because of the labour required, if you hire contractors to do the build, this cost is also significantly higher because of the time spent on site.

Stick frame construction allows for greater flexibility when it comes to design, especially for revisions after design is substantially complete. It remains a popular choice because of the relative abundance of lumber and the ability to commence construction quickly after design and approvals are complete. Advantages of stick built roofs are listed below.

-The stick-framed roof process allows more space underneath the roof

-The roof and ceiling can be attached to the same member

-Any member of the roof is easily changed and manipulated later if needed   

-If your roof leaks, it is easier to determine where the leak is coming from

-Complicated roofs can be created.
