The neutral shades are offset by a dark red door that lends a pop of color to this beautiful house. Hip roofs come in several styles, but a lot of it comes down to the shape of your home and the look you want to achieve.
But no matter what style they are, they all share common structural elements. Hip framing starts by determining the length of the common rafter. Once your common rafter is cut, you can determine the length and the height of the ridge board. Each wall of your home is joined by common rafters to the ridge board at the peak. Hip rafters will support corners of the walls and jack rafters attach to the hip rafters and move down to the exterior wall.
This structure adds a ton of support to your roof and reduces the stress on the exterior walls. The most common design is the simple hip roof, seen on homes with four walls. The roof looks similar to a pyramid, and this design is the cheapest and easiest style of hip roof to maintain, although it can only be used if your home is the right shape. A half hip roof will have two sides shortened to create eaves, to create a distinctive style. A cross hip roof has two or more separate hip roofs that join.
A cross hip room can be used on homes that are designed in multiple wings rather than a simple rectangular design. Beyond the design, a hip roof can also be designed with a different pitch. The higher the pitch, the more attic space and better ventilation your home will have.
Of course, a higher pitch also means you will need more roof shingles and support beams, which will make your roof more expensive to repair or replace. It will also be much more difficult to work on the steeper it gets. A lower pitch roof may require the installer to use brackets to angle the solar panels for the ideal sun exposure, but the slope of your roof will make this unnecessary, which can save you money on transitioning to clean energy.
Are hip roofs self supporting? Hip roofs are not self supporting as believed years ago. The proof is all the old sagging ones we see. Those supports are needed, they just use the block to hide the joints above and help spread out the support post to all of the adjacent rafters. Pros: Hip roofs are more stable than gable roofs. The inward slope of all four sides is what makes it more sturdy and durable. Cons: Hip roofs are more expensive to build than a gable roof. It's a more complex design that requires more building materials.
Do hip roofs have load bearing walls? In hip roof designs, all four exterior walls support the ends of roof rafters, so all exterior walls bear a weight load from the roof above them. Interior load-bearing walls may also support the roof as they do in gable roof designs. Hip roofs are more expensive to build than gable roof because it's a more complex design that requires more building materials including a complex system of trusses or rafters.
What is the most common roof type? Every measurement and every angle of the framing has to be absolutely perfect, which is why you need to have a professional roofer with experience in this particular design to install a hip and valley roof. This is not a project that you want to attempt to DIY. Think about it. That means it is potentially fatally dangerous.
Because extensive framing is needed to support this roof design and because there are so many different angles and peaks and dips, hip and valley is one of the more expensive roof designs. It takes a lot of labor and a lot of materials to create this roof design.
You also need to hire a very experienced roofing company to take on this task, which is going to cost you a little bit more. However, because so much time and labor go into the construction of this type of roof, it is a very long-lasting roof type in most cases.
You can see these roof types everywhere in newer subdivisions. The main advantage of having this style of roof is pretty obvious: it looks great. A roof that has many dips and peaks is far more visually interesting than a roof that maintains a single shape to cover the whole of the house.
The roof ends up becoming a big architectural feature of the house and not just a necessary topper to complete the construction.
