    Sorry for the rough drawings but just trying to see which roof line would be the most pleasing

    How about #2 with the garage peak? #1 seems the most universal. Great job elaine!

    I am far from an expert but I am not a fan of any of the roof additions.

    Overall there is something that doesn't feel right, but not sure adding a roof addition will fix that.

    The front looks out-of-balance somehow. Maybe it's that the different style windows and window trim plus door and door trim give an impression of piecemeal additions and not a unified flow across the front.

    As suggested previously, starting with the front door, then changing the color, and finally matching the window trim across the the entire front would make sense before considering a roof addition.

    I wonder if someone moved the front door at one time? The bump out gable for the front door seems like it should be a picture window with the door to the right in the "porch" over hang. Of course that brings up if the picture window there is original. Has there been reconfiguring of rooms on the inside of this home?

    The bump out gable for the front door was a necessary addition from many years ago, but that is where the original front door used to be. No rooms have been reconfigured on the inside.

    Also, the pitch on the front door gable isn’t the same as the rest of the house. Is that something that can be worked with? There has obviously been architectural mistakes made on the house, but now the question is how to unify it all and add curb appeal!
