Gable Roofs

Simple but Effective

Gable roofs are possibly the simplest roofing shape: two sloped sides that come together at the ridge, with a gable at each side. The slope at each side aids in allowing moisture to run off quickly. And, there are many design configurations available through cross gable roofs—two gable roof segments coming together at a right angle—or blending gable roof constructions with other types of roof constructions.

As with all roof shapes, there are many pros—and cons—to gable and cross gable roofs. An experienced roofing contractor will be able to mitigate the ”cons” while maximizing the value of the ”pros.”

The design is simple, but effective

Planning and executing gable roof construction is paramount to its success when finished. In tornado-prone areas such as Missouri, for instance, gable roofs need to be very securely braced, with little overhang. High winds have the capability to rip gable roofs from the walls—this possibility is heightened if an unqualified roofing contractor doesn’t use the right bracing techniques.Gable roof framing is also extraordinarily important for the structural integrity of your home. Incorrect framing can lead to total roof collapse. This is why it’s so important to choose a roofing contractor dedicated to technique. Choosing the right experienced contractor ensures your roof will be in working order for years to come.

Since the gable roof design is so simple, it is often extremely cost effective to frame and construct. And what you save in money you certainly don’t skimp on in value—gable roof construction is designed to shed water and snow quickly. In fact, the steep slopes are perfect for snowy areas such as St. Louis, as large amounts of snow can’t pile onto your roof and threaten a collapse.

Donna Brueggemann

I incurred wind and hail damage to the roof and siding on my house. I used Wildwood Roofing at the recommendation of my insurance agent.Wildwood did a phenomenal job from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier.I am a very particular person. There is not a single imperfection in the finished product. My house, including all the little details that matter, looks stunning. The crew was friendly, kept a clean and quiet job site, and it was apparent they take pride in doing outstanding work. Milton was the installation crew leader and Kevin oversaw the installation. Again, I can’t point out how committed this team was to ensuring exceptional work.We ran into a little issue during the project. The issue had to do with my personal preferences and material selections my issues, not insurance or the contractor. Jay, the Operations Manager from Wildwood Roofing, personally showed up at my house, provided some new options for me, and found a cost-effective way for us to get exactly the finished product that we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with the extra attention and service we received in response to us changing our mind mid-project.It was exceptionally easy working with Wildwood. My primary contact in the office for billing was Ryan. Ryan was always immediately responsive and very helpful.Without any reservation, I highly recommend Wildwood Roofing. It’s apparent they take pride in performing exceptional work and the entirety of their organization is customer focused, service oriented, and highly responsive.

Wildwood Roofing did an amazing job on my new roof. I had some storm damage and they were able to get me in to tarp my roof to stop water from coming into my living room on a day that everyone was trying to do the same thing. They were so supportive and gracious about it and made me feel at ease through all the turmoil. The replacement of the roof process was just as easy and they were so efficient. Roof looks amazing. They did a fantastic clean up job. I would highly recommend them and if/when I need any roofing needs, they will be the team I call. Very professional and courteous.
