The middle part of my garage has noticeable sag, so im wondering how i can fix the sag, improve the design and look into raising the roof about ~2FT to match the attached garage roof and house line together.
1) There are 2 support beams that run from front to back of the 23' garage. One beam is physically cut in half and has 2 ties to make it a solid peice. Im not sure if this was a repair at some point? From these two beams there are 2 vertical posts that tie support rafters.
2) I saw 2 rafters that have cracks and i noticed maybe 2 already had sister support boards nailed on. Many of the rafters have plywood collar ties toward the top.
3) I'd hope that i could fix this myself by possibly jacking up rafters and building trusses if possible. I imagine if I want to replace the rafters altogether id have to expose rafters from the top and replace both the rafter and install new plywood at the same time. I did ask about the possibility of raising the roof line, so this might not be something i can accomplish myself.
Any suggestions? Please see pictures
