Often built by raising the gable/party walls on both sides of your home, we place the mansard and build the timber frame to meet the needs of your loft. The top part of the roof is mainly horizontal, with the lower slope at 72 degrees; near to vertical.

    Convex mansard roof: Frequently found on courthouses with clock towers, the mansard roof has a lower slope that curves outward, with a wide cornice base reinforced by heavy brackets.
