Thank u.
Will check out thanks. The other side of the scissor truss Gable does have a small Dormer built into it but I'm not sure how they did it.
Thank you. Just watched. I would have to cut into all the scissor Truss in the existing building I'm not sure how that would work.
you all probably dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Joe Gunner instablaster =)
Great video thank you. You seem to know your stuff. Great speaker! I’m looking at extending my garage out. I use my existing and renovated to a leather workshop. No room to park the toys indoor..This gave me great insight thank you.
Glad you liked the video and thanks for the kind words.
Wow! You're even mentioning what I have on the house: a very large/deep soffit. Thanks again, love the video
You're so welcome!
Thanks this was helpful. I’m planning on add on and this answered some questions.
I really appreciate how you took the time to show in detail how to attach an addition! I am about to start a project where my deck is in an ell of the back of my house and I want to put a roof over the deck. So I am not only attaching to the slope of one roof, I have 2 slopes to contend with! I’m having trouble figuring out how to attach it dealing with the valley of the two slopes of the existing roof. Can you help me figure out how to cut these new rafters?
What if youre doing a full length addition on a home with two opposite facing roofs?! Thatd be cool
This one ☝🏽
Thanks for the video. What if we want to add two story next to a single story on the slopping side?
Great! Its really helpful.
love your videos...I won't ever use any of this but it's nice to know...how things are made....I love that show.
one thing I would love to know is how to tell if you can take down a wall.

If I have an existing metal roof and want to add or extend another room would I need to remove
part of the metal to add the next room on, cheers.
New to carpentry: On the rafters that connect to the valley, do you have to angle cut rafters where they sit on the boards that sit on the slope of the roof?wondering if there's an easy way to do this?
Question: How does the connection work if the new gable roof is higher than the existing hip roof for an addition that is at the end of a structure?
It will taper back down on side opposite of gable. I think I have examples in the home building section or roof framing at our website.
Can you show me how to tie in the fascia please
Do you have a video showing how to tie in the fascia board? If so, what's the title of the video?
Per the video, the triangle roof framing portion of the new addition will come in contact with the existing roof. Will any part of the existing main house's roof being disturbed to make connections to the new addition's roof or the new roof simply sits on the existing one and then we apply shingles?
I'm assuming that you're asking if the weight of the new roof will affect the wood framing on the existing roof and in some cases you will need to contact the structural engineer to answer that question. Some existing roofs will require additional bracing and structural support, while others won't.
I've done this exact addition I'm sure to multiple houses it's definitely very common and relatively easily
It probably is the most common one built, along with shed roofs. You know the ones where someone had a patio with about 1/2 inch per foot slope and then turned it into a room addition.
I'm in Georgia. What's an estimate in price for a 20x20 room
Would you have a video on adding a covered porch addition to that would attach to the hip & gable with a gable front ?
I don't think I do, but I think you already emailed me, but if you didn't, I suggest visiting our website and checking out some of the home addition roof framing and porch videos. Let me know if you can't find something that works.
will the roof beam at the tie in place needs support its weight?
Appreciated, how can I connect a flat roof to the back of the house, any helpful ideas м
Go to our website and check out some of the porch framing videos. www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/porches/index.html
So interesting
Thanks for these videos, on this addition, is it required expose the exterior wall studs, I’m planning on making a garage and I’m wondering if I should remove my stucco, thanks
I don't think it's required to remove any exterior stucco that wouldn't be in the way of attaching structural wall framing components or anything else that might create a problem.
Hello.. Loved your video... I am not a builder but have built a few decks in the past. I am adding a deck, screened and a roof, California style like you video...problem I have is that on the left side of the house I want to attach it to there is a second story so not sur e how to avoid an ice dam and allow for roof drainage.. This is Michigan

Go to the website and in the remodeling section, you should find a link to home additions. You should be able to find something there, if you can't then email me a drawing of what you're trying to figure out for more information.
My house is already in the L shape that the extension is creating in this video. In fact, it looks exactly like the illustration. What would you do with the roof if you wanted to fill in the L?
I have videos on home addition roof designs at are website. www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/design/addition/index.html
Question; so I am looking to expand my garage and the backside of the garage has the roof slope down on that side just like with this room addition. My question is how and could I go about installing a 20 ft beam at the edge of the roof to support it after opening the wall up to add an extra 16 ft of depth to the garage? This video is great because it explains how to connect the roof to the existing roof but I can't find out about the beam to span the needed gap
I have more videos that might help at our website. Click on remodeling tab at top and then home additions.
Greg I find your videos very didactic. I had seen a lot of them looking for one that cover my particular case.
My house roof is just 2.5/12 trusses gable roof. Before we purchase the house somebody extended the roof line to add a family room at the center , following the same roof angle. They ended with the roof too low (7’). The house is facing west, so the addition was made toward the East. Later they built an extra bedroom at the North empty corner, to which the installed a flat roof instead of the Gable or Hip roof. That left me the back door to the South empty corner with no roof, slap or anything.
We want to create a Gable roof for that area but I see difficult how to connect to the to the family room roof.
The house span is 28’. Family room added next to the empty area extended roof tor 12’, the area to work is 26’x12’ .
I hav had some ideas, but I rather listen you advice.
Thanks.

Is a link to the website it might be helpful. However, if you can find what you're looking for, send me some pictures or a drawing of what you're trying to do and you can get our email address at the website.
Is there any way to have a vault in the room that you are adding with this type of addition?
I have a vaulted ceiling in one of these projects. www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/projects/index.html
After adding the extension is it then possible to remove the old roof underneath so that there is not a slanted ceiling, or so that there is access to the attic space on the addition?
If you're asking whether or not you can remove a section of the existing roof framing for an access opening, you would need to contact a structural engineer. However, I have seen experienced carpenters reframe these areas so that you can have easy access to the attic.
good video, exactly what I want to do at my cottage. Can i remove the supporting inside wall and install a beam. Also i want to have a cathedral ceiiling in the addition. Is it possible to see avideo of that ? addition will be 20 ft wide by 12 feet deep. my addition will be in the middle of cottage.
This should help www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html
@@gregvancom thanks watch a video how to install a flush ceiling beam , how do you fix the beam sticking out of the roof. can i have the beam inside the house instead ?
great video. Does it matter if the existing structure is a vaulted/cathedral roof?
It would all depend upon the size of the project and since I cannot provide you a structural engineering information, probably won't be able to help answer your question. It really would depend upon how much weight you're adding to the top of the existing roof rafters.
Nice video - exactly what I want to do with my garage. at 3:00 how would you tie fascia board into the existing roof? Thanks!
www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html see if you can find a video here if not let me know.
Would you want a the addition to have its own wall at the point that it connects to the old house? I am planning an addition similar to this and I don't know if I should hang drywall directly to the exterior wall of the old house or frame a forth wall in the addition. My concern would be that the two separate slabs might move differently and cause constant drywall cracking. Your video only shows 3 walls on the addition.
It really would depend upon the type of design, but most room additions connect to the existing house and the exterior wall. However, some of them can use supporting beams to remove most of the wall or all of the wall. These videos might have more information you're looking for.

I want build an additional room to my home and also build a second story on the room. do you have any videos on that? I'm sure the structure on the first floor roof is different due to building a second story?
I don't think I do, the only videos I have right now on home additions can be found at our website. www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html
do you have any videos on how to put on an addition to a log home?
Not Yet.
would this work to get a contractor to add to a back of a garage to create a tandem?
I don't see why not. I do have more home addition design ides at our website.
Hello do you do any drawings?
What if you wanted to add on to the house but on the side? To attach and have the same angle of the roof as an upside down v. Is this possible to do?
I came here with the same question
I’m adding a enclosed patio to a manufacturer home with vaulted ceilings, does that add any significant problems?
Not as long as it isn't going to be creating any structural load bearing problems for the mobile home. For example if you're going to attach the patio to the mobile home to where the weight would be transferred from the patio to the mobile home roof or walls, then that could create a problem.
So the house I'm looking as looks like they put the addition OVER the old roof shingles... where they supposed to remove the shingles BEFORE doing that addition?
Yes, but if it's already done and the roof isn't leaking, then it might not be a problem.
I have an L shape home. My concrete patio is tie to the back of the house.How do I make my roof tie in for this roof?
This is pretty close to how I would like to add an attached garage addition. However, i have a brick home and i want to put it on the end of the house instead of the side like you have in the video. It's a 2 story home, and another issue i have is that right in the middle of the end of the house is a brick chimney. Any suggestions or other video examples would be much appreciated!
A lot of new houses have pop outs on the back its a pain in the ass to crane the trusses up there
Crane? *minds blown with a hint of quitting his new job*
I would like to do something similar to the back of my house but I would like to enclose that whole back area instead of leaving that extra space on either side. How would you do that? Just make it bigger so the two roofs meet higher up?
There are a few different ways you can do it. Visit our website's and go to the home addition webpage in the remodeling section and check out some of the home addition ideas. If you can't find anything that will work, send us some pictures and I will see what I can come up with.
Sometimes when its on the back and no one sees it, they just tie in a flat top across the back, there are ways to do a pitch roof, just more expensive
how about adding gable roof to hip roof
See if you can find it here www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html
How would you tie in the ridge if the addition ridge was higher than the main structure?
It wouldn't connect to the existing ridge, but would stop a little short of it and then the existing ridge slope on the other side would continue up to meet the ridge. I think you'll find what you're looking for on our website, but let me know if you don't.
www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/design/index.html
@@gregvancom I found one video that explains exactly what I'll be doing. But couldn't find the one that shows how the structures tie together
Can you send me some pictures of the project you're planning on building or the building that it will attach to? You can get our email address of the website.
Gregvancom,
If I may.....I just purchased a home with 2 room additions and both are "California Roofs". My home is single-story at about 1800 sq ft. I am trying to install a Solar Attic Fan to evacuate excessive attic heat. If I can conjoin all 3 attic spaces it will enables me to use only one properly sized Solar Fan. In attempting this conjoining....Can I safely cut open the underlying plywood sheating between the joists on the underlying pre-existing roofs where additions were built over???
Thank you, Gerry from Warm,East San Diego, CA
Remember, I'm not an engineer, but you might be better off drilling two or 3 inch diameter holes in between the roof rafters, because some structural engineers require larger square holes to be blocked and nailed according to certain specifications.
Can you show how to add a front porch gable roof for 25x40 ranch house? the slab is 6x19.
And, what is the name of the application that you use on these videos?
Someone else has already requested this video and it should be made within the next month. Stay tuned to the main channel to find video when it is posted.
I am in process of putting a new Manufactured home on a lake property. I'm trying to make this as "house" possible visually. (If that makes any sense!) I'm using Splitface block for the skirting for visual appeal. Anyway I want to build on a Florida room or 4 Season room addition. I want to build it on a heavy duty deck with sliding glass doors as the "walls". Approximately 20 by 30 ft. Is there software to computer build this?
None that I know of.
My house has the addition in the center is it possible to raise the ceiling for that addition?
I would love to say yes, but it would depend upon the way it was constructed.
it can be done if you have trusses with bottom cords. but you would take away from the structural integrity of the roof. like he said it depends on how it was constructed.
How do you figure if your roof can support the new roof sitting on it
This method is commonly used by home addition builders, but since I'm not an engineer, you would need to contact one in your area to address your concerns.
Are they 2x8
Reason I ask is even in New builds sometimes it has to be laid out like this and you should be just fine if it's 2x8 but if it's an old build with 2x6 rafters such as my house you may need to add additional support or may have to run the ridge in nail off support it with stiff leg but a lot of factors play into it such as what your building how long how wide how high framing on subfloor or pad and code what's allowed and what isn't . I know here for example my County I can use standard 2x4 in the walls the county next to me I have to use 2x6 in the walls. have a contractor look over the plans and make sure its one who's been in the game a while it may cost you more upfront but in the long run he'll save you some time and money
can you do the same thing. but with a 2 story addition? on the left corner...
Yes
Think you can make a program video like this for it?
Is this program available for the public to use?
gregvancom Also interested in how this would work. If you could give me a basic outline would appreciate it.
What if I want to add an extension along that entire side of the house? Not just a small portion which will have a lower roof height than the original. I imagine it would mean a taller roof height. Would I need to redo my existing roof?
This is exactly my question.
My home is a T shape w a 1 story on the vertical part of the T (just like the home in this video) & 2 story on the horizontal part of the T. We want to convert the back area to additional living space.
I assume we need to change the roof pitch.
You'll need to add an M shape gable or 3 open gables depending on the length of your home.
Not an engineer. But yes. I imagine. All he framing from the 2nd floor up including joists and bracing would need to be re done
Sir pls give idea to attach a room in right side of this house (shwng pic) . Plss sir
Have you went to the website?www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html
what about if i want the addition to b 10ft high wall/ceiling and the original house is 24'x48'with 8'h ceiling and the peek is 4ft the addition should be 20'deepx30wide
The roof facia board line might be higher, but you can build additions with taller or even shorter walls.
Thank u very much can u please show how it will look, how to finish it up on the roof if its higher?
I will put a link here when it is completed, but keep in mind that it might be a few months.
We are still waiting how to do the addition with a higher/taller cieling the the peek of the house
Can I add a room addition that has a roof deck?
More than likely the answer would be yes, but if you live in an area with single-story homes in your neighborhood, then you might need to check with your local building or planning department, because some neighbors don't like other neighbors looking in their backyards and this could be a problem.
How would you do this with a vaulted celing roof?
I will put that on my list of videos to make, but it could be a few months before I make it. Stay tuned to the channel.
ruclips.net/video/swr4uVryXKs/видео.html
same basic principle, it's really quite easy
Does anyone have a plan for this ?
I don't.
What is the avg cost to do this?
I can't provide you with estimates, but would suggest contacting a contractor in your area for more information.
What if I had a metal roof? My frames are made of wood but my roof is a metal type of roof.
The framing might be the same, except for the roof sheathing. You would need to check with your local building authorities, building department and of course read the instructions from the roofing manufacturer for more information.
Any bigger versus built like that is not just an addition I build them every 8 days
What if there is no roof sheathing
Then you could install some or install the nailer over the existing rafters with out sheathing, but you might consider contacting an engineer in your area to verify.
Can you please email me the plans?
Can you help me design an addition?
No, but I can provide you with a link that might provide you with a little more information about room addition designs.
www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/design/addition/index.html
Bought a home and these idiots just continued on with the existing slope of the house, thus making the additional room end too low
this is exactly what I want at my home in Houston, TX.
This is explain great I'm not even doing an addition but it's fun to watch as a newer carpenter
Currently have a scissor Truss family room/living room. 6/12, 3/12.
Putting a kitchen addition at a right angle to the above.
How do I frame a kitchen scissor Truss roof into the main house section.? Is it possible?
Yes and if you contact a truss manufacturing company, they can usually provide you with a set of building plans. If you have problems reading those plans, feel free to email them to me for more information.
How can you tie in a roof for a complete backside addition? Current house is 2 floor plus basement. 48 ft wide by 36 deep. Addition would be one story plus basement off backside of house. 48 ft wide by 24 ft deep off current house. Having trouble conceptualizing how to tie in the roof
Thanks for this video. This is exactly what I want to do! Great video

I’ve been looking at buy two sheds and attaching them like this. Would that be possible?
I've seen it done.
sure arthur
Could I show you a photo of a English Tudor home in California that I would like to add on to? It’s a beautiful two bedroom 1939 home. However, I would like to expand it and make better use of the land and of course a bigger home.
Feel free to send a picture to us and you can get our email address at the website. I would check with your local planning department first though, to make sure that you could actually add on to your home. Check out this video on property line easements for more information ruclips.net/video/7tiUx6-xK74/видео.html
Kindly let me know if it is possible to do a new home addition (with a gable roof) to the entire length of the existing sloping roof. One end 1/5th bathroom, 3/5th sunroom in the middle and 1/5th barbeque room in the other end. Thanks, Nathan
I would think you could.
Hi. Do I have to apply for building permit to have extension room?
If you're referring to a home addition or an extension to a home or other buildings than yes, but I don't know if you would if you're referring to a mobile home, because they're usually controlled by the Department of Motor Vehicles if I'm right.
Would this be possibly but if you centered the additional with the house and had it go the length of both walls ? I’m looking to do something similar with a 16x24 addition. Wondering what type of cost and materials I’m looking at.
great video. How to prevent water from main roof?
I have a ranch 5×12 pitch I believe off the front there is a concrete slad porch and it comes like 5 feet short of hanging over slab what they did was recessed part of the house right there that's like 4 feet deep and it 20 feet wide. I would like come off it and make a sloped roof in the same way. I'm just wondering how far would I go up on my roof then bring it down and run 4 posts and a header going across? Then put a little railing across the front?
I’d love to see this with a hip room addition to an exiting gable roof please thank you! If you’ve done a video already please link it!
What if the current outer wall where the roof slopes and you added on, ends in slanted ceilings? (The lowest part of the ceiling slopes down to that outer wall). How would the room addition turn out on something like that, would it it look or feel like a tunnel?
Is it hard to make an addition? With the foundation and everything?
Is not hard , but it can be costly
Curious what the size of the add on is ? I’m wondering if it is possible to do this but with a length of 24 feet ?
I would like to add room addition to preexisting gabel roof can you show how to tie in the addition without changing existing roof.
Dude why didn’t you show building then adding the extension
I do have other videos at our website that might provide you with more information about roof framing and home addition construction. If you can't find what you're looking for let me know.
This information is fantastic. I'll be buying one of your books from the website.
Could this method be applied to a block home with a metal roof?
I think it will depend on the existing roof framing, but at the very least, should give you some ideas.
I am wanting to build a 2 story addition off a pre existing house with a roof like you have on this video. It will be centered like the last drawing. Where do I tie in the roof with soffets and make a straight floor so it doesn't have a weird angle in the room on the second floor. Does this make sense. Thank you
Would you strap the sleeper boards to the existing rafters? Makes sense for uplift
What's the cost to add an additional part to your a home? It's nice
That really can't be specified since there are variables to every job like sq ft and type of room. Labor is likely to double the cost unless you're good at construction. I will be doing a sun room here in Texas and just economy windows and doors will cost 3000 or more before installing.
HOW WOULD YOU CUT OUT ATTICK ACCESS FROM EXISTING ROOFING?
Usually through the roof sheathing, but it can be done through the ceiling also.
Can the old roof carry the dead load at the new ridge?
Looking at the addition (50 to 120 seconds in) the overhang design could make a wicked cantilevered porch extension similar to an inverted/upside down ship.
Thanks for the idea. I may try that on a shed.
How would u tie in if the pre existing house has trusses
Hi nice video but in order to do that you need to find out the pitch of the original house right?
Good video. Do you have one showing how to tie in to an existing home where you'll be cutting into existing rafters? I'm wondering how it can be done if you cut into an existing 8:12 roof so that you can have a 2 story addition rather than a single story addition.
See if this helps. www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/roof_framing/index.html
Starting on adding an attached roof over a deck today. This was a great framing refresher for something I haven’t done in a while.
Glad it helped and sometimes all we need is a little refresher video.
Question. - Planning a sled roof over a open patio, Existing Compost patio, patio 14x32: Question about support headed or open beam on the outside of patio. Also tie in to existing 6/12 roof. Would like a 31/2 or 4/12 on the sled roof. Is this possible? Thanks
I really don't know exactly what you're asking, but yes to the roof pitch if design works.
My question is can you the same with a metal roof
Yes
Hi There. nice video. How would you finish the roof the meet when the room addition is OFFSET pass the main building?
See if you can find something here www.homebuildingandrepairs.com/home_additions/index.html
What if your existing roof has a medal roof
If you're talking about the roofing, then it can be removed and modified to make the new addition blend in.
I commented on your other video just now, but this what I would like for my roof to look like. But only issue my addition is going to be 3 foot out from the left side so the walls won’t lineup. Is it possible ? That I can still do it ?
Yes.
Can I get a link to where you talk about the 2 different valleys? Exposed rafter tails underneath while tying in the facial is what I'm after. Thanks
