Gable roofs, while among the simplest roofing designs, are also some of the most effective and cost-efficient options. They feature two sloped sides that meet at a ridge, with a gable on each end. These slopes help direct moisture runoff quickly, keeping rain away from your structure and preventing heavy snow or ice buildup during winter.

Gable roofs are popular due to their straightforward design and affordability in both roofing and framing. However, if not installed and braced properly, they can be vulnerable to wind damage. To withstand the strong winds common in Texas, gable roofs need secure bracing and minimal overhang. An experienced roofing contractor will use the right techniques to ensure your gable roof is sturdy and your building well protected.
