That's a great technique. i was doing that before I knew Aiden had a video on it. The only thing I would add is

Import the image, draw over it [keeping equal sides and using rectangles etc]draw verticals at ridges and draw hips etc...
There are several roof tutorials around...

are you building a shell model only? or interiors... different approaches depending on end use of model / images.
i usually build it flat on the ground, then clean it up and raise it into place, separate from walls and etc.
same pitch, same overhang, same plate height everywhere?
that's eas(ier)... lots of ways to do it. -
