        "text": "Conventional (or stick) framing involves cutting and assembling individual pieces of lumber on-site to create the roof's rafters, ceiling joists, and ridge board. This method offers flexibility for custom designs and attic space but can be more labor-intensive. Truss framing uses pre-engineered, factory-built components (trusses) that are delivered to the site and lifted into place. Trusses are typically more cost-effective and faster to install, providing consistent quality and spanning longer distances without interior supports, though they limit attic usability.",
