What Happens When a Garage Roof Is Built Wrong — and How We Fixed It Right

At first glance, this thing was pancaked.

The garage roof had visibly sagged, the rafters were flattened out, and nothing about it looked structurally sound. It was part of an addition built 15–20 years ago—and unfortunately, it wasn’t built right. Over time, that poor construction turned into a major safety issue.

We were brought in to tear it down, rebuild the frame from scratch, and wrap the whole thing in a clean new roof, siding, and gutters. Scroll down to see the transformation—and why these problems can’t wait.

The Warning Signs

• The roofline had a visible dip—but the homeowners never really noticed.
  
• Rafters had completely flattened out under pressure.
  
• Gutters weren’t draining at all due to the walls pushing out from the weight of the rafters.
  
• What went unnoticed turned out to be a serious structural and safety hazard.

Our Process – From Demo to Rebuild

• Carefully demo’d the failing roof structure.
  
• Rebuilt the rafter system with proper pitch, spacing, and support.
  
• Installed new roof decking and architectural shingles.
  
• Ensured proper waterproofing and ventilation.

A Full Exterior Refresh

• New siding installed to match the home.
  
• Seamless gutters added for better drainage.
  
• Clean transitions between the new and existing structures.
  
• A dramatic before-and-after finish the homeowners could trust.
