Our son Nathan helping Albert sawzalling through the nails to loosen the roof from the house.
.
Albert cutting the roof into pieces managable enough to pull off.
Nathan hooking up the chain from the roof to the tractor.
Backing up slowly.
Just a little more......
Hooray! No damage to the house at all.
Here they are tipping the piece into the bucket to haul to the burn pile. First, of course, we will have to pull off the asphalt roofing.
And pulling of the next section.
All in all, it was done in four sections. No damage to the little Alberta Spruces either. I think the house looks bigger now.
Hi Melissa! My parents had their asphalt roof re-shingled last year. The roofers had to use scrapers, shovels, and pitch forks to tear off the shingles. Nails were removed first, and the debris was hauled away. How did you manage to dispose the old shingles? I mean, they’re surprisingly heavy.

The guys did great job in removing the porch roof without damaging the sidings! It is a given fact, sometimes, that further repair on the walls will be done but why not do the job right to avoid damages, right?

I was wondering why you decided to remove the porch roof. Is it just for repair or are you planning to extend your house? Anyway, I hope you just repaired that since the porch roof is also important and can be useful at some times. By the way, I just hope you checked your sidings for any holes that may have appeared after the roof was removed.
