Initial text
We are renovating a 40 year old house. The roof was raised and 2 dormer windows were added. The roof was shingled last week. Unfortunately, the new roof is not centered, the ridge has shifted 15-20 cm to the left. As a result, the overhang on the left is 20 cm longer than on the right. Correction is not possible without complete removal. The contractor proposes either lengthening the roof overhang on the right or shortening the roof overhang on the left. The question is, does this suggestion make sense? Because of the location of the house, the gable end is not visible from the front, so the shift is not really noticeable. It's mostly noticeable because of the uneven roof overhangs.
