Roof style opions please.

I would use a full roof over the porch with columns and beam. Same pitch as the house with no ceiling for a little height.

1:12 is considered a "flat roof"

most shingles warranties require at least 2:12 - 4: 12 is recommended

many jurisdictions require 4:12 for shingles

Thanks. I agree, but having to reframe the existing roof I will imagine be out of my budget.
