The project
The roof. An older cedar shake roof on a Marda Loop home, surrounded by mature spruce and close neighbours. The shakes had dried, split and worn thin.
Planning the day. New materials were delivered and loaded onto the roof before tear-off, so the crew could move straight from stripping to protecting and rebuilding.
The tear-off. Shakes come off in a lot of pieces. The crew stripped the roof section by section, sent the debris straight down into the bin, and used tarps to protect the areas around the house.
What’s underneath. Once the shakes are off, the deck is exposed and checked. Any damaged boards are repaired before anything new goes on.
