What you are looking at
Steep roofs are slower work. Our guys are harnessed in the whole time, and every bundle has to be carried up and staged so it does not slide. The payoff is that a steep roof sheds snow and rain fast, which is why so many older Akron homes were built this way.
An angled section at one corner forces the shingles to turn through several short hips. Short hips take more cuts and more cap pieces than a long straight one, and each cut has to land clean so the cap sits flat.
The skylight gets fresh shingles fit tight on all four sides. It is one of the first places a roof leaks, so it is one of the last places we rush.
