Transcript: A gable roof is one of the most popular types of roofs. It allows good ventilation and prevents water and snow from accumulating on the roof. A Gambrel roof is one which looks like a barn by adding side panels to a Gable roof. It is more difficult to construct. A Shed roof is one with a simple slant on the top. This roof can also be called an "ell" or a "lean-to." A flat roof, is a flat roof. No removal for snow or water. A Dutch Hip roof is a hip roof, with a gable added to each side. It has an interesting roofline, but suffers with poor ventilation. A Mansard Roof allows for extra space on the top floor of the home. It, however, is much harder to build that a Gable or Hip Roof. Very similar to the Dutch Hip, minus the addition to the top. The Salt Box Roof allows for two in the front of the house and one in the back. Similar to a Shed Roof.
