      I am in the process of building a house and I do not know what type of roof to put on this house. Any ideas or help would be great. The house is not completed but i need to get the roof done soon. Thanks

        Do you have something in mind though? Like gabled roof, pitched roof etc.?


        Edit: to try out different ideas and designs, have a look at this plugin:

              The style of this house would work with a hip roof. Added bonus, you can make a hip roof fit almost anything. Of course you could use a flat roof with a parapet and be done with it. Another way is designing the whole form of the house at once, instead of one part then another.
