raising a garage roof (need help)
(OP)
I want to know if anyone knows the best way to raise a garage roof. Is there any sites that I can go to that would help me find out how to do it. I have 2 car garage and I want to raise the roof about a 2 feet. Thanks...

You should better specify this, but guess it will be impossible to give good advice without looking at the real thing: the best advice is to consult a local construction company.

You will want someone who understands how the loads are transferred to the foundation to look at it before you act (i.e. structural engineer) or it may fall down in the next big wind storm. I assume you are wanting to raise the roof so you can put on taller doors and put an RV inside. Good Luck and I hope the RV is worth the trouble.
