Try a new roof on the house already in the photo
Form, pitch, and material belong to the roof. When the brief is only the roof, the walls and the windows stay where the photograph put them, including the head heights under the eaves.
Ridge and eaves can move. The wall below stays.
The slope, the form, the covering, the walls, the windows, a dormer, and the same camera each need a picture. Drop a file into the matching slot and the block fills.
A low pitch and a steep pitch throw different shadows on the same gable end.
Switching a gable to a hip changes the rake. A porch roof is part of the form if it touches the main slope.
Asphalt, standing seam, slate, or clay tile can change without a second story.
Siding, brick, and the corners stay when the job is the roof alone.
Openings keep their width and their head height under the eave.
Ask for a dormer, or the roof plane stays unbroken.
The street or yard viewpoint stays, so ridge height can be compared.
Pitch
A low pitch and a steep pitch throw different shadows on the same gable end. Write the pitch you want to test, or say the existing slope must remain and only the covering changes. The plate line of the wall is the reference either way.
Form
Switching a gable to a hip changes the rake and the way rain leaves the corner. A porch roof is part of the form if it touches the main slope. Dormers are a form change too: say so, or the roof plane stays unbroken.
Covering
Asphalt, standing seam, slate, and clay tile read differently at the eave and at the ridge cap. The material test uses the form you already accepted. It does not invent a second story under a taller ridge.
A slope you can repeat on the next pass, instead of a roof that looks steeper only because the photo was taken uphill.
Gable, hip, gambrel, or a shed porch is a choice you write down. The result follows that choice.
When the job is the roof alone, siding, brick, and the corners of the house stay in the frame.
Openings keep their width and their head height. A new eave does not swallow a window you did not agree to lose.
The next pass can ask for the same seam spacing or the same tile color without redrawing the plan.
The street or yard viewpoint stays, so ridge height is comparable between the photo and the proposal.
Stand far enough back that both eaves and the ridge are in the frame, with at least one wall visible under them.
Say if the pitch and the hips may change. Then name the material. Leave walls and windows out of the brief if they are staying.
Compare ridge, eaves, and the windows beneath. If a wall grew a story, this pass failed.
Cladding, a full exterior, or an elevation drawing each pick up work this page leaves alone.
The lid
Roof design tests form, pitch, and material on the house you can see. Walls and windows stay if you are only changing the roof. A new gable that eats a window, or a flat lid drawn over a house that needs a slope to shed water, is not a roof study. It is a different building.
Photograph the eaves and at least one gable end. A street view that crops the ridge will invent a pitch. Name whether the form may change or only the material may. Shingle, metal, and tile are different weights and different eaves. Say which you mean.
The attic page is the room under this roof. It will not flatten the ceiling to match a wish. If you change the pitch here, the attic has to be re-read afterwards. Do not assume the bedroom survived.
Water leaves a roof. A decorative pitch that ponds is not a design.
The overhang shades the wall you already have. Do not erase it to make a modern box unless you asked for that.
The ridge should sit on the house in the photograph, not on a wider house.
Name it. Color alone belongs on the paint page only if the roof material stays.
The links below are the neighboring jobs. Each one keeps a promise this page does not make.
Attic furnishes the slope this roof creates. A new pitch changes that room.
Exterior design may change the whole visible house, roof included, when one surface is not enough.
Siding stops at the wall. The two meet at the eave and should be chosen in that order: roof, then wall, or the reverse, but not both by accident.
Pitch, hips, and the covering, with the walls under the eaves left in place.
Yes. Say the form and the pitch stay, and name the covering. Walls and windows remain in the photograph.
That is a form change. Write it in the brief. The walls below the new eaves still stay unless you open a different page for them.
Yes. A dormer cuts the slope and adds a window in the roof. Ask for it explicitly, or the plane stays clear.
A chimney that is part of the house stays unless you say it may be removed or rebuilt with the new ridge.
Yes, if you say the main roof stays. The porch slope still has to meet the wall or the main roof in a way the photo can show.
No. Extra floor height is an addition. This page keeps the walls and raises or lowers only the roof you asked to study.
Only if the frame includes the ridge, both eaves, and a wall under them. A crop of one slope will invent the other eave.
One photo with the ridge and both eaves is enough. Say whether the shape may change before you name the material.
