Warren House 7
Nanaimo, BC
A cute old timer that displayed its wonder on the inside with grand crown mouldings. The trick was to give it a new roof to show off the potential of its equally appealing exterior.
Existing T-lock asphalt shingles were removed first. Synthetic underlayment (FT Silver) was put down atop existing 3/8th sheathing. Valley and eave flashings were added but then we came across an architectural design problem in three locations.
We wanted the gable ends to retain their architectural integrity which required eschewing the often ugly aluminum flashing used by many builders today.
A trip was made to The Finishing Store where we found two different types of bed moulding that were just right for the project.To the front gable rake we added a semi-ornate moulding. On the less visible side and back gables, a more subdued, flat moulding was used. Both created an elegant finish as well as a functional drip edge.
A dark olive green paint was added to the trim and mouldings to accent the slate-grey shingles. In the end, the house gave off an unpretentious traditional opulence on the outside that complimented her interior.
Widdowson Garage
Saanich, BC
Long overdue, this heritage garage on a historic property was badly in need of a new roof. Decay had set into the rafter ends and the double layer of asphalt shingles were heavily degranulated. Removal of the asphalt shingles, adding sister rafters, placement of a felt underlay and the addition of galvanized cladding, plus replacement of gable trim boards, has allowed this 1920s era building to remain standing for another 100-years.
The Panabode
Mayne Island, BC
Panabode has long been a prefab building of choice among owners of cabins and cottages on the west coast of British Columbia. This Panabode double-garage was originally assembled by the owners in the 1970s. By 2022, the family had dispersed, the shingles were tired, moss had overgrown its welcome and leaks had sprung up.
I removed the old shingles and discovered underneath, the vertically aligned tongue-and-groove cedar boarding, was in great shape. A high-end synthetic underlay was tacked down and laminate shingles- matching the house-were added on top.
Exactly on budget, the owner was more than thrilled. Plus, I had it done in one week, on an island where waiting-lists are as much as two years with other companies.
