What you are looking at
This house has more roof than most. The main body steps down into lower sections, a front gable and several hips, and every one of those meets another plane at a valley or a ridge. Those joints are where a roof is easiest to get wrong, so they get the most time from our crew.
The chimney and the skylight both sit in the middle of a slope. Shingles around them are cut and fit by hand, because that is where meltwater finds a way in when snow sits on the roof through an Ohio winter.
A roof with this many planes also has a lot of hips. Each one gets its own run of cap shingles, laid so the overlap points down the slope and sheds water instead of catching it.
