Anatomy of a Roof
Every layer that keeps water out.
A roof isn't a single product — it's a system of eighteen coordinated components. When any one of them is missed, mis-lapped, or under-nailed, the whole assembly leaks. Here's what actually goes on your house.
- Ridge
- The horizontal peak where two roof planes meet at the top — the highest line on the roof.
- Hip
- The external angle where two sloped roof planes meet, running from the ridge down to the eave.
- Hipped Edge
- The sloped edge along a hip roof where the hip meets the fascia line.
- Valley
- The internal angle where two roof planes meet — the highest-volume water path on your roof.
- Gable / Rake
- The sloped edge of a roof at the end of a gable wall, running from the eave up to the ridge.
- Gable End
- The triangular wall section enclosed by two sloping roof lines at the end of a pitched roof.
- Eave
- The lower edge of the roof that overhangs the exterior wall and channels water into the gutter.
- Drip Edge
- Metal flashing along the eaves and rakes that directs water away from the fascia and into the gutter.
- Fascia
- The horizontal trim board behind the gutter — anchor point for gutter hangers and the finish line of the roof edge.
- Soffit (underside)
- The finished underside of the eaves that closes off and vents the attic.
- Rain Gutter
- Continuous aluminum channel along the eave that collects water shed from the roof.
- Downspout
- Vertical channel that carries collected water from the gutter safely away from the foundation.
- Flashing
- Sheet-metal barrier installed at joints and edges to divert water away from vulnerable seams.
- Chimney Flashing
- Layered step and counter-flashing that seals the joint where the chimney passes through the roof.
- Skylight
- A framed, flashed glazing unit set into the roof plane to bring natural light into interior rooms.
- Dormer
- A framed structure projecting from a sloped roof, usually with its own window and roof planes.
- Abutment
- The joint where a sloped roof plane meets a vertical wall — always flashed to keep water out.
- Sidewall
- The vertical exterior wall of the home that a roof plane abuts against.
- Flat Roof
- A low-slope roof section — typically on additions, porches, or commercial buildings — that uses membrane rather than shingles.
