Cedar Shake Roofing
The cedar shakes varied in sizes. Lengths consistent at 24″, thickness 1/2″ – 3/4″, and widths roughly 4″ – 12″. The first course installed was doubled. Most of original 6″ spaced treated sheathing slats were still in good condition which we fastened the shakes to with about two nails per shake. A few rotten slat pieces were replaced. The shakes were installed at 10″ exposure with spacing between 1/4″ – 3/8″ each.
Sunken Post
The corner post was smashed down by a fallen tree. A previous contractor made a temporary repair to level the roof by jacking the structure and placing support blocks on the top of the post.
Sunken Deck
The roof was jacked up and blocks were placed on top of the post. It leveled the roof out but left the same corner of the deck sunken in.
Raising The Roof
We lifted the framing with a lift. This allowed us to place concrete footings under the post.
Footings
While the structure was lifted on the corner post, we placed a standard deck block and a thick paver under the post.
Leveled Out Both Ways
The deck was set level while adjusting the footings.
Post Reset
The original post was preserved and the roof structure and deck were reset level.
Deck View
Deck leveled out.
