I am trying to redo/enlarge my attached garage. What is currently there is far to small and barely even fits a small car. I want to make it a two car garage with a little extra room. The problem is the roof. I am stumped of what to do with it. The front part goes all the way over my kitchen and currently dumps the snow directly in front of the door, and the back side is going an entirely different direction, and reaches to the peak of the rest of the house. I need to raise the garage as well as extend it out. Looking for any suggestions or tips.

Assuming you just want to widen the garage, I'd just extend the roof over the addition and add a dormer over the front entry to deflect snow to the sides.
Quite the roof ramble.
if you do not want to start over with the whole roof, I might move the garage to the front and out. This lets that shallow roof over the back of the existing garage stay put. (use for a mud room or other extra space)
depending on how high exactly you plan, you might put part of a valley to the existing front part, or make it high enough not to need one.
