Hello everyone,
we are renovating a 40-year-old house. The roof was raised and 2 dormers were added. Last week the roof was covered. Unfortunately, the new roof is not centered; the ridge has shifted about 15-20 cm to the left. Consequently, the overhang on the left is 20 cm longer than on the right. A correction is not possible without a complete dismantling. The construction company suggests either extending the roof overhang on the right or shortening the roof transition on the left. The question is: does this proposal make sense? Due to the position of the house, the gable side is not visible from the front, so the shift is not very noticeable. It is mainly noticeable because of the uneven roof overhangs. Thank you very much for your feedback!

And even here, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Does it bother you, and what would be acceptable for you?

Hello Halmi, attached image, once with the comparison line drawn in, once without. The facade will be painted white. Of course, we would much prefer a symmetrical roof. But the complete dismantling is not a pleasant prospect either.

OK, crazy. I have to admit that I had imagined it differently. I'm curious whether someone here can help you.

I have now drawn the line correctly. The first line was shaky because it was drawn on the phone display. This way the difference is not quite as drastic.

So I would just leave it as it is if it doesn't bother you. After all, you only see it from the side, and probably only if you know about it...
