We provide third nail services for stronger roof-to-wall connections.
Does your roof have the necessary protection to face high winds, extreme weather, or even hurricanes? It needs to if you live in Sarasota County, Florida or any of its surrounding areas. Without proper reinforcement, strong winds can lift a roof off of a house, but our team at U.S. Code Compliance provides the third nail services required to prevent this. Let our skilled team protect your home.
Third nail services include adding a third nail to the metal clips that connect roof trusses to exterior walls. Prior to a Florida Building Code change in 2002, these clips only needed two nails for compliance, but today a third nail is needed. The connection between the roof and walls must be secure to resist wind, and that third nail goes far in strengthening the attachment. With a third nail in place, your home has greater protection and you can have greater peace of mind.
There are several benefits to third nail services worth considering as well. For one, insurance companies often offer lower premiums to homeowners who have had third nail retrofitting done, so you can save money on your bills. Third nail retrofitting also increases your home’s value since a reinforced home is more attractive to buyers than one that has not been reinforced.
