As mentioned in other posts, I’m getting ready to replace my roof and am considering possible upgrades. When are hipped roofs a good idea?
It is really an aesthetic decision - how much do you like the look of a hip roof? Many people find it to be a richer look because it is in fact more costly to build. You can create some pleasing roof lines with a gable roof as well. You should reach out to a local architect and seek their input to help you decide. Good luck!
