What do you guys use for a pitch on your returns? Do you change it depending on the main roof pitch or just stick with a standard? Also, hip or no hip on the returns?
Most of the time, our houses have a freeze board on the gables, so we will pitch the return so that it meets the bottom of the freeze board. Just a cleaner look.
I too like the hips as a roofer.... not so much... any return for that matter.... time. time. time... but hips look nicer. Same pitch as roof i think looks great.
