Home additions and roof extensions.
How to extend a roof for an addition.
This home addition project can be quite extensive especially if you extend your roof so make sure you enlist the help of builders or contractors.

Rather than a single slope a gable roof consists of two slopes that meet at a peak running down the middle of the roof.
To tie into the side of an existing roof put a new roof truss on the walls of the addition brace it upright then snap chalklines on the shingles to mark the center line of the new roof valleys where old and new roofs will connect.
