The only thing that one roof is guaranteed to have in common with another is that it is located at the top of a building.
Roofs come in many different construction styles, and are covered in many different surface materials.
Hip roofs, gabled roofs, gambrel and barn roofs are all common here on Winnipeg homes. Businesses are more likely to have flat roofs, which vary too. Roofing materials range from the exclusive – copper, slate, and clay tile, to the more commonplace but very functional cedar shake and asphalt shingle. Every type of roof has its individual characteristics. Those with a very high slope tend to shed snow and water more easily, and last longer. Those with a lower slope are easier to resurface, but can require use of specific materials and techniques to keep them impervious to the elements. Slate and tile are very durable but require a specific skill set and specialized tools to service, and are made of expensive materials.
