PERGOLAS

Wood is a fantastic, versatile product that adds warmth and character to your home. With a little ongoing maintenance and care, most timber features will withstand a busy home environment, and will last for years. Much of the timber pergola work that we do is replacing old timber posts, beams and rafters (including roof coverings), which are no longer structurally sound due to wood rot, borers or just deteriorated with age. With time the structures can become weak and dangerous, and complications then start to arise. Wood rot and borer damage are two of the biggest issues we see when restoring timber pergola's in Canberra. With a tailor-made repair solution you can save time and money. Our extensive experience and quality workmanship will ensure that the final product aligns with your expectation.

  1   Cut & frame the opening. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications for cutting the hole in your roof. From the inside, drill a locator hole where you want the center of the skylight to be and then work on the roof to cut the opening with a circular saw. Fig. 1, Cutting and framing an opening in the roof for a skylight. Frame the opening so it is structurally sound according to building codes. Be sure to support the ends of roof rafters before cutting and removing them! Install header joists perpendicular to the rest of the joists (Figure 1). If the skylight is mounted above an attic, you’ll also need to cut and frame a hole in the ceiling of the room below it, and frame a light shaft through the attic. Note: If you’re not familiar with basic carpentry practices or you are installing a large skylight that will require the removal of more than one roof rafter, consult a professional builder. 2   Cut back the roofing & attach the skylight.

Are you having issues with on-going  roof leaks  that cannot be identified? When it comes to diagnosing and repairing your roof, do you get multiple opinions as to the  source of your roof leak? If the source of the leak is proving difficult to locate, there are several methods for finding these pesky leaks. Water testing may be necessary or  non-destructive moisture scans  can also be used to identify sources of intrusion locations and trapped moisture.    It is also possible that the roof itself is not the source of the leak. I’ve seen many times where the roof wasn’t the issue and the source of the leak could be related to cladding, glazing, and wall penetrations etc. Roof leak diagnosis is an upfront added expense sure, but what you should consider is the outcome of on-going leaking activity. Roof leaks that are not addressed can lead to mold issues and deck deterioration. Look at is this way, what expenses are you incurring to have multiple trips by the same crew or company to per
