Photo Gallery of Roof Types

There are various types of roofs but they mainly fall into two categories: sloped roofs many of which are tied closely to a particular house style or geographic region; and flat roofs which are all very similar and mostly found in modern architecture and throughout the Southwest.

We recommend Identifying American Architecture: A Pictorial Guide to Styles and Terms, 1600-1945 as a definitive guide to identifying roof types from before our country was founded to mid-century moderns.

  • These structures look beautiful, and you can see the different types of roof designs built in each one of them. These roofing types are tested to be durable protectors against the sun, snow, and rain. That is why most home owners choose these roofing types.

    I saw a conversion of a dormer roof to a deck from the apex line, the gables stayed in place but the roofing on one side was brought down to a flat surface, could you tell me the name of this type of conversion please?

    Help! We are having BIG problems with the contracor that we employed to do our roof. Each day we find new problems. The white flashing that is to outline the dormers is not installed correctly leaving an area exposed in the areas that comes in contact with the roof line. The drip edges are don't seem to reach the edge of the roof. When I got up on the ladder I noticed that the shingles did not properly overlap.
    Help we need help.
