Roof Types

Gable Roof
A Gable Roof has two roof surfaces of the
same size, that are pitched at the same
angle back to back
Common variations of Gable roofs:
• Cross Gabled roof – Simply two gable
roof sections put together at a right
angle. The two ridges formed by
these gable roofs are typically
perpendicular to each other.
• Dutch gable – A hybrid type of gable
and hip roof where a full or partial
gable is located at the end of a ridge
offering more internal roof space
and/or increased aesthetic appeal.
www.AdjusterPro.com 214-329-9030 Appendix 1 – Page 1
Page 39
Hip Roof
Hip roof (or hipped roof) does not have flat sides
like the gable roof instead all sides of the roof slope
down to meet the walls of the house.
• Pyramid hip roof – Four equal triangular sides meet
at a single point at the top of the roof.
• Cross hipped roof – Similar to putting two
hipped roof buildings together. Where the
two roof sections meet forms a seam called
a valley.
• Half hipped roof – A standard hip roof that
has had two sides shortened to create
eaves.

Other Roofs
Dutch gable – A hybrid type of gable and hip
roof where a full or partial gable is located at
the end of a ridge offering more internal roof
space and/or increased aesthetic appeal.
Mansard roof has two distinctly different
slopes on each side. The lower portion of the
roof has a very steep pitch often with dormers
attached, while the upper portion has a low
slope, just enough for water runoff to occur.
Gambrel roof, like the mansard roof, has
two distinctly different slopes on each of its
two symmetrical sides. The bottom slope
has a steep pitch, sometimes nearly vertical
while the top slope is lower. But unlike the
mansard roof, the gambrel roof only utilizes
this method on two sides of the structure
rather than four.

Page 41
Other Roofs (continued)
Flat roofs usually have at least a slight slope to
assist in the shedding of water
Bonnet or “kicked eaves” roof. Usually have two
slopes on all four sides of a structure. It is
essentially the opposite a mansard roof in that its
upper slope is steeper than the bottom slope. The
bottom slope often hangs over the house to cover
an open sided porch and provide shelter from the
sun or rain.
A shed roof (often called a lean-to) is typically a single
roof face that slopes down the entirety of the
structure or structure addition.

When you are in your project and are ready to print, you can create a PDF report by following the
below instructions.
From the Main Menu inside your project select “Print” from the “Estimate” menu item as below.
Once the new window for “Estimate Reports” opens up, simply select the “Export” from the bottom
center button as shown. From the options, select “Export PDF File”
www.AdjusterPro.com 214-329-9030 Appendix 3 – Page 1
Page 46
We recommend you get in the habit of organizing
your files within logical folders.
You should create a directory on your computer
named “Claims”.
Under the “Claims” directory, you would create a
folder for each claimant using the format of last name
first name.
For the examples we have in class, we have created
what you see in the screen shot here.
When you select “Export PDF File”, you will bring up a navigation window which will ask you what
to name the file and what location you wish to save it in.
Each version of windows is a bit different in how you see the window displayed, but the concept is the
same for each.
Select the location of your “Claims” folder that you created. If you don’t have the folder already
created for the claimant, select the “Create a new folder” icon to the right of the file location.
You will see a small folder with a orange circle on the top right as above. By selecting this, it will
allow you to create a new folder. The folder is created in the window and the name highlighted ready
for you to rename it for who you are doing the estimate for. Remember we are using last name first
name format in naming the folder.
From here you simply edit the “File Name” at the bottom to read last name first name Estimate and
then select “Save”
