Before Addition


Cantilever Truss

Beaverton Bungalow Addition & Remodel

A large master bedroom and bath addition and remodel were added to a 1940's Beaverton bungalow. Exterior and interior facade, structure & trim were matched to the period and to the existing elements. As in many additions and remodels, the roof presented the particular problem of not making the addition a tack on. The solution was a raised roof over the entire remodel structure. In order to not to have to remove all the existing roof (which would not carry the new roof load) a cantilever truss was designed, allowing no load to be put on the existing roof structure.
