Why the shape matters
The shape of a roof decides where water collects, how many valleys and hips have to be flashed, and how much of the surface is exposed to wind. Two houses with the same square footage can be very different roofing jobs.
If you can tell us your roof type when you get in touch, it helps — but a photo from the yard works just as well.
