What happens here

Before adding the final roofing materials, the perimeter of the roof, especially around the connection to the house, needs to be properly secured. This involves identifying wall studs behind the house siding, lagging a board (likely a ledger board or blocking) into each stud to provide a strong connection for the roof structure.

Goal: Create a strong and stable connection between the new roof and the existing house structure.

Tools and materials

  • Drill — Drilling pilot holes for lag screws
  • Lag Screws — Securing the roof structure to the house studs
  • Stud Finder — Locating wall studs behind the siding
  • Wrench or Impact Driver — Tightening lag screws

What they say

Hide

the house. It's just insulation board and then the siding. So, uh, we need to find our stud layout in the wall and then we're going to lag into each stud, uh, our rafter there because also our post, we like to get something that goes into the house there just to kind of stabilize it a little bit. But right here, there is no stud behind that. So, we want to make sure that our rafters at the house are lagged in. We'll do two lags at each stud location so it's locked in for justice. Where's Nicholas say? >> For justice. >> So, let's go.
