The roof of your new family home is the first thing a visitor will see. Therefore, you must ensure you choose a style that stands out. There are many roof styles to choose from that you may be overwhelmed with. Here are the five most popular roofing styles for new family homes that you may consider for your new family home.

Flat Roof

The flat roof is among the most popular roofing styles available. This style doesn’t have any pitched sections or gables. The popularity of this roofing style is mostly because of its low cost of installation and maintenance. It also provides adequate protection against harsh weather elements.

Flat roofs are often made of fiberglass or vinyl material, which makes them durable and easy to repair. The advantage of a flat roof is that they are self-cleaning. They don’t require any special cleaning procedures.

Despite their name, the flat roof style is not completely flat. They are slightly slanted so that water may drain easily. However, it is still not ideal for areas with heavy snowing. Longevity is a major selling point for flat roofs as they can outlast most other roofing styles. It also offers ample space for installing the HVAC system, hence saving space.

Gable Roof

A Gable roof is a type of roof that has two sloping sides. This roof style is popular for new family homes because it is relatively easy to build and maintain. A gable roof has two sides that are angled away, forming a triangular shape. The triangular shape gives the roof an attractive, asymmetrical look.

Additionally, a gable roof can be modified to fit any style of home perfectly. Gable roofs are especially popular among first-time homeowners because they are affordable and easy to install. If you are planning to repair or install a new roof on your new family home, consider contracting professional Richmond roofing contractors that will offer high-quality services.

Hip Roof

The hip roof style is also popular among new family homeowners. Hip roofs are made up of several triangular panels that overlap one another. This style looks similar to a traditional shingle roof, but it is more resistant to weather damage. Hip roofs are a good choice for families because they are affordable and easy to maintain.

The design of the hip roof style makes it ideal for snow-prone climates. The Four sloping sides produce a peak or ridge at the apex of this roof shape. Because of the slopes, hip roofs will handle snow and icy climates better.


The design of the hipped roof style makes it stand out as the most stable since the weight is equally distributed at the base of each hipped section. Attic headroom is increased by the hipped roof’s shallow pitch angle, making it easier for new family homeowners to turn the attic into usable space.

Gambrel Roof Style

The Gambrel roof style is another popular style for new family owners. This type of roof is a half-gable roof with a triangular gable end. The gambrel roof is very versatile, and it can be used in a variety of different styles and locations. One of the main advantages of the gambrel roof is that it provides good insulation and weather protection.

It also has good wind resistance, making it a good choice for locations that experience high winds or rain. There are two slopes on either side of the two-sided gambrel roof called the barn roof. It is steeper and lower with higher slopes. Like the hipped roofs, gambrel roofs have plenty of headroom.

Butterfly Roof

Another popular yet stylish roof style is the butterfly roof. This is an ideal roof style for a family home because it gives the house an appealing look from the outside. Additionally, it shields the house adequately from harsh climatic conditions.

This style is a combination of a gable roof and a flat roof. The gable roof portion is typically pitched at a 45-degree angle, which gives the roof its unique look. The flat roof portion of the butterfly roof is usually covered in insulation and solar panels. This portion of the roof provides insulation for the home and energy generation for the panels.

If you’re looking for a modern roof style that is aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound, go no further than the butterfly roof (V roof). It is impossible to install gutters on a butterfly roof because of its unique inverted design.
