An M-shaped roof is a double gable roof. The roof rests on two bearing walls with two sloped sides that meet at the center, forming an “M” shape. Unlike standard roofing types with only gutters around the edges, M-shape roofs have a central gutter system that runs between the two pitches, preventing snow and water from building up during the winter. Commonly used in American homes, these roofs can be covered with most materials available on the market, including asphalt shingles, metal, and tiles. However, even with specialized flashing and a gutter system in these valleys, they can still be prone to leaks. This is why we suggest landlords set aside 10% of their gross rent revenue to cover maintenance and repairs, especially if you have a roof like this.
