Thank you!

The overall area of the shed roof is often referred to as a Dutch gable.

Yes it’s called “Roof”. In Dog language that’s “Roof”.

“Woof” is a dog with a lisp trying to say “Roof”. Either way they’re still smart Dogs!!

I referred to that architectural design as a full cornice return. Eave return. Full eave return. Etc.
That’s my wag.

Afternoon, Richard. Hope to find you well.

I would not refer to that outer gable overhang as a roof period let alone a shed roof. It does not have the style of a shed roof or at least to me. Illustrations below.

A roof structure forms the ‘upper covering’ of a building’ Just as an eave is an overhanging member above the exterior walls of a building that can be connect to the roof as the part covering the building.
I hope I explained myself properly.

Modified version of the clipped gable without the clip.

If you’re looking for what to call it in a report, I would just go with “Garage Front Eave Roof.”

Agree with Dave.

Not sure what it is called but it just draws more attention to just how horrible track houses are designed. The garage should not be the focal point of the home.

I agree with @sfetty & @lkage on Dutch Gable style roof.

But the important thing is that your client understands what and where it is if you call it out in the report. :+1:

I totally agree my preference is that the garage be off to the side (unseen)or in back of the house if possible
