Common Roofing Shapes

A new roof is not a building project to be taken lightly. For one thing, it's a major investment. Your roof is also a weather barrier, in addition to adding beauty to your home's exterior appearance. Yet, many of us know much more about interior design, like wallpaper and carpeting, than we know about exterior design and construction.

Common Roofing Shapes

The type of roofing materials you choose will, in part, be determined by your home's construction and the shape of the roof. Below are just a few of the more common roofing shapes:

Gabled

• A roof with a single peak, creating a slope on each side and a triangle on the front and back of the house.

Side-Gabled

• This roofing style has a gable facing away from the front entrance.

Front-Gabled

• Similar to a side-gabled roof, this style has a gable over the front entrance of the house.

Cross-Gabled

• With this type of roof, all four sides of the house have a gable. The two side wings form individual sections that are joined to the main gabled roof.
