Roof Types

Residential Roof Types

Gambrel Roof

A gambrel roof is a two-sided roof with two slopes on each side. The upper slope is shallow, while the lower slope is steeper. It's often seen on barns and Dutch Colonial-style homes, offering more attic or loft space due to its shape.

Mansard Roof

A Mansard roof is a four-sided roof with two slopes on each side, where the lower slope is much steeper than the upper one. Common in French architecture, it maximizes usable attic space and often includes dormer windows.

Hip Roof

A hip roof has slopes on all four sides that meet at the top to form a ridge or a point. It's sturdy, great for windy or snowy areas, and offers a clean, symmetrical look.

Shed Roof

A shed roof is a single sloping roof surface, often attached to a taller wall. Simple and modern in design, it's commonly used for home additions, cabins, and contemporary-style buildings.

Gable Roof

A gable roof has two sloping sides that meet at a central ridge, forming a triangular shape at each end. It's a classic, efficient design that easily sheds water and snow.
