    im considering changing my roof pitch, i have a roof pitch of 3/12 i wanna rasie it because when ever it rains heavy it backs up on the shingles and leaks, the roof shingles are arch- shingles , they are about 7 years old but they where not overlapped correctly if im going to bother with re roofing it im thinking of raising the pitch, also i would like the look of a little bigger pitch, any suggestions on how to do this

    The easiest way is to get pre-made trusses.

    You must use prefabricated trusses to put a new pitch on the roof.I once have called Roof Repair contractor and he has given me that very suggestion.I hope you will try this future.
