What a mess this was. We actually were going to repaint it at first, but after power washing it we noticed a 3" deep puddle had collected in the center of the roof! Obviously, there was an underlying problem. With the help of our good friends at Tague Lumber, we were able to totally reframe and redeck the roof, after which we were able to apply this beautiful flat copper roof and rebuild this second story balcony piece by piece.For extra measure, we installed our own custom cedar railing system. The cool thing about the posts of the railing system is that there is no penetration through the deck! In order to ensure there would be no leakage, we soldered sturdy brass mounting plates onto the flat copper roof at the seams to receive the post bottoms. For additional rigidity, we braced them with copper pipe.
