My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Roof Pitch

10 years ago
Hi there, love what you have done here. We are in Sydney, Australia, and are struggling to find a style that will work in with our low pitched roof. Could you please tell me what the pitch of this roof was? Also, what other architectural styles do you think a low pitched roof would lend itself too? Many thanks, Anna.

    The roof of this home was existing and has a 2:12 pitch. This low pitch works well for the bungalow style, as well as mid-century modern, but it could be translated to a variety of other styles as well.

    I currently have a MCM built 1967 in Florida with 2:12 roof with metal roof. In my county this is the lowest slope that you can have a metal roof. I plan on building a smaller version with same roof as love metal and have had no problem once roofer fixed the cricket around the fireplace. I love big windows/brick!
