I am still watching but want to leave a comment. Many thanks, this is exactly what I am looking for. Awesome instructions. Kudos

Enjoyed the information shared here about raising the ceiling. Nice quick hits as well with the framing square angles and the jig for cutting the collar ties. The difference is always in the details.

I never thought about doing it that way, not a full cathedral but higher is what I need. Plus, this will support your rafters and side walls.

Good shit. This is exactly what I was looking for. For months now. I just need to raise the rafter ties 3 feet to allow clearance for a 4 post car lift in my garage.

Hula Shack thank you Glad this helped you out

Noob here. Can this be done on a hip roof? Also, for collar ties, can the original ceiling joists be reused (pending good condition) since they will be shorter after raising them? Would use one single new collar tie then cut the old ceiling joist out and replace the next one. I would not remove them all first! Also, I realize consulting a structural engineer is required but I'm contemplating purchasing an older cottage style house with 7' ceiling. Thanks! Great video!

Great video! Doing a little research to see if we can get our ceiling raised a foot. I was concerned because we had 2x4 rafters but that seems to be what you’re working with?

Lucas Rayala hey buddy,In my case I had existing 2x8 rafters and also had engineered blueprints.you should be careful if you only have 2x4 rafters because you will be adding additional stress to them Good luck! And thanks for watching

How much would I save doing this myself compare to a contractor like you doing this...my ceiling are all exposed already.

Raising the rafters this way, do you have to add braces down to the top sill plates? I’m renovating my living room, house was built in 1947 and has ~7.5 ceiling I’d to raise atleast a foot, maybe two. I had originally thought about doing it this way, but wasn’t sure if it displaces the load differently than having them sitting on the tops of the walls.

This method transfers so much weight that WAS on the top sill plate and down to the ground NOW all that weight goes directly to the roof decking frame - not good.😬

Great idea about pre-framiing those spaces for the new windows. I've never had a contractor do that. I've heard you can raise the ceiling joists on a rafter system as long as it isn't a 1/3 higher than the total existing rafter length, is there any truth to that? Nice detail work! All looks so clean. @@patricksimone1238

There are plenty of videos of people raising the ceiling by modifying the trusses. My situation is different. I haven't put on the roof yet. I want to stack 2 more feet on top of my 8' Walls. I wish I could find a video about this. This is just a shed or garage.

Why not make the rafters into web trusses and get the full cathedral ceilings

Get a skil my man. No dogging out on those long rips!

I'll be doing this soon. I think I'll be sistering the rafters first though.

Rookies are fun, I had a guy one time that had degrees in everything, very smart, but everytime I gave him a measurement he would cut the siding wrong, so I threw pieces of aluminum down to him to with measurements on, he still couldn't cut them to right length, so I said it isn't working out.
