Accede Construction: Fire Damage Repair...

At the Dr.’s office fire damage repair we are making rapid progress. Now that the attic is framed we can install the roof decking and dry in the building. We are using 7/16” OSB to deck the roof surface. Once the decking is in place and renailed we will dry it in with felt paper underlayment. The roof install will be next on the docket. We will be applying 30 year laminated dimensional shingles and tying them into the undamaged portions of the remaining roof.

The Burn Repair Continued...

This week, with the new monolithic support beams in place, we began framing the attic. Some of the rafters we installed were over 30’ in length. We hoisted the new rafters into place and bolted them into place. The overall area that we are framing is 4,500 square feet. Once the rafters are in place and properly supported we will apply the roof decking substrate.

The Burn Repair Continued...

Today at the Dr.’s office fire repair we employed the services of a 150’ commercial boom crane to lift the timber support beams into place. Our challenges during the hoisting of these beams were many. The beams weighed between 1,800 and 3,000 pounds. We had to lift them up and over the front of the building and into the back corner. There is a power line easement with overhanging trees that we had to maneuver the beams around and over. Once in place the beams were bolted to the support gussets. We welded steel angle brackets in several areas to add security. Now that the major timber beams are in place we will begin framing the roof structure.
