Hello everyone,
we are renovating a 40-year-old house. The roof was raised, and two dormers were added. Last week, the roof was covered. Unfortunately, the new roof is not centered; the ridge has shifted about 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) to the left. As a result, the overhang on the left side is 20 cm (8 inches) longer than on the right. Correcting this would not be possible without a complete teardown. The construction company suggests either extending the overhang on the right side or shortening the overhang on the left. The question is: does this proposal make sense? Due to the position of the house, the gable side is not visible from the front, so the shift is not very noticeable. It is mainly noticeable because of the uneven roof overhangs. Thank you very much for your feedback!

The number of verge tiles is the same on both sides, with 16 each.Of course, because the roof was not constructed crooked, it was mounted crooked.H

Of course, because the roof wasn’t built crooked, it was just installed crooked.How anyone can fail to notice that when raising it is beyond me. The rafters are already off the plan. 20cm (8 inches) is definitely not a tolerance.
