Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Structural framing repair that corrects damaged rafters and supports before a new roof goes on.
The roof framing carries the full weight of your roofing system plus the occasional Cascade snow load, so damaged members must be addressed before reroofing. Years of leaks in our wet climate can weaken rafters and ridge boards where water repeatedly found its way in. We reinforce or replace compromised framing to restore proper load capacity and eliminate the sagging that signals trouble. Correcting the frame first ensures the new roof sits true and performs as designed for decades.

1) Structural assessment of rafters and supports; 2) Identification of rotted or overstressed members; 3) Engineering guidance for reinforcement when needed; 4) Repair or replacement of damaged framing; 5) Verification of level, load-ready structure
Extent and number of framing members affected; Whether reinforcement or full replacement is needed; Engineering or permitting requirements; Accessibility within the attic and roof; Material and labor for structural lumber
Framing repairs are scheduled before dry-season reroofing so the structure is sound when new roofing goes on.
