A Winter Gardens property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Housing stock in Winter Gardens runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up. We see it on Winter Gardens roofs every week. Streets in Winter Gardens that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
