If you want to raise your garage roof you might as well just tear off the old roof scrap it including your top sill plates. Approaches to raising the roof.

If a gap doesn t close up try laying a plank across the roof and pound on it with a sledgehammer. I want to increase the headroom in the garage so that i can put in a car lift into the garage which allows 1 car to be raised and another car to park directly underneath. Consult a contractor for an estimate. Finally fill in the outside of the wall with tapered pieces of sheathing and siding.

I have a detached brick built garage with the usual roof trusses. Then run new studs up adjacent to your existing studs and put on new sill plates and a new roof. You could brace the inside of your garage and use hydraulic lifts to raise the roof. I doubt if you can use your existing trusses.

Ways that have crossed my mind but of which i have no idea that would pass muster would be. The major downside to it is the height of the door opening at about 1 9m and the floor to ceiling height of approx 2 4m. Currently whilst the pitch roof is of substantial height the trusses get in the way of access the full height. Build a small framed wall of desired height increase lift garage and secure to new mini wall.

You can raise it up with more sand and gravel until you reach the desired height. Additional support may be needed if the roof is not very stable. Then place the poles back on the spot they came from but higher now. You might also try raising the actual garage itself but this obviously has structural challenges.

If you need to lift the walls again the gap will stay covered. Before applying the finish siding install metal flashing over the sheathing and let the flashing run 3 in.
