Simple Roof Designs for Your New House
The roof is the topmost part of any building, which protects the structure from harsh weather conditions, like direct sun rays, wind, and rain. Besides offering protection, roofs complete and enhance the appearance of a house. It also plays an important role in making the house durable, energy-efficient, and weatherproof.

Note that you should hire professionals to install, repair or replace roof. Below are popular roof designs to consider for your new house.
