1
HIP
A hip roof, hip-roof or hipped roof, is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. A hipped roof house has no gables or other vertical sides to the roof.
2
Roof Window
A window in the ceiling of a house can be referred to as a roof window, rooflight or skylight, and although there are differences between each term, they are often used interchangeably.

Valley
A valley is the gutter-like valley that runs between two sloped sections of roof. That is, where two sloping sections of roof meet, they need a way for water to escape. That's where a roof valley comes in. ... Just like gutters, they can wear, leak, and get blocked up.
4
Ridge
In simple language, the ridge of a roof is the peak where two opposing roof planes meet. Getting a little more technical, the National Roofing Contractors Association defines the ridge as the "highest point on a roof, represented by a horizontal line where two roof areas intersect, running the length of the area." So the ridge is basically the peak of a roof, but ridge also refers to the board or beam that is used in building the ridge.
5
Verge
The verge of the roof is the exposed outer portion of a gable roof that extends from the eave to the ridge.
6
Dormer
A dormer is a roofed structure, often containing a window, that projects vertically beyond the plane of a pitched roof. ... Dormers are commonly used to increase the usable space in a loft and to create window openings in a roof plane.

Abutment Flashing
