Adding a second story addition.

My husband and I are thinking about putting on a second story addition to our home. The problem is our house currenlty has a completely flat roof. I have tried to find photos of home that once had flat roofs and nw have additions, but have been unable to do so. We have been looking onlie for over 1 year, any advice?

Answer #1

I found a site that has photos of a flat-roofed house that had an addition put on.

Basically, what they did (according to the site) is replace the single flat roof with multiple higher-angled gable roofs.

Checking the picture you can see how the roof levels are all higher-angled, and there are multiple roof heights.
