Retrofit is the construction of a sloped framing system with metal roofing over an existing flat roof. The benefit of retrofitting an old flat roof is so when rain and snow fall upon the roof, the newly sloped frame will discharge the rain and snow to the outer boundaries of the building.
Due to this strategy, the building owner can gain greater reliability and years out of their roof.
