Browse Forums Old Home Restoration / Renovation 1 Feb 24, 2021 10:13 am I have a home built in 1970 as such it has an old style roof structure (not truss), we are looking to extend a section of the house forward and add on a veranda at the rear. From this we want to put the whole building under 1 full roof structure. To do this does the whole old roof structure have to be demolished (im assuming this affects ceiling inside) to have a new roof installed or can the orginal roof structure be added to to exntend the roof area?
