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.

Photos of Gambrel Roof with Clipped Gable

8 years ago

I could only find one photo in my web search. Is this a very uncommon roof configuration? Does anyone have any photos of houses with it? The only photo I could find is the last one on this web page: http://s93883215.onlinehome.us/adamjaneiro/2008/08/shingle-style-part-2.html
