Uneven roof ridge.

The secret to drawing an uneven ridge line or multiple levels on the same roof is to make sure the eave height and roof pitch are correct in the property screen. The dutch gable hip roof is a hybrid of a gable and hip type of roof. Worn or deteriorated roof covering materials occasionally loosen from their fasteners and lift away from the roof which creates an uneven appearance. They give the roof a finished look while forming a protective seal.

Sometimes you can adjust gutters and vents for a more uniform appearance. Sometimes an uneven roof is simply a sign of minor errors or aberrations in construction. Exposure to wind rain and sun further deteriorates the roof coverings often resulting in shingles or roof panels that appear to be peeling off of the structure. At other times the gutters may need to stay where they are so gravity can do its work.

A full or partial gable can be found at the end of the ridge in the roof allowing for a greater amount of internal roof space. This style also improves the look of the roof providing a more unique and interesting design than the very common simple hip roof. Lumpy bumpy or curling shingles that do not. The shingles on your roof serve a dual purpose.
