A common roofing design used for homes across the nation is the hip design, which has sloping faces on the sides of the home. Before you build, sit down with your Maple Grove roofing contractor and builder to discuss your options. These designs can be a complicated home improvement project, but hip roofing styles are considered to be a sturdy design because they have internal bracing. People building a home from the foundation prefer the hip designs because it is easy to build the walls to the same height.

There are five different hip roofing designs that may be for a home. Your Maple Grove roofing company can review these choices with you. The simple style has two triangular faces and two polygon faces while the pyramid roof has four triangular faces rising to a point in the center of the home. The cross hip roof looks like two hip roofs joined together and the half hip roof has two shortened sides to create eaves on the shorter sides. The last hip roofing design is a hybrid between a hip roof and a gable roof called a Dutch gable hip roof, which offers more space for storage or extending rooms in the home.
