Hurricane Recovery

There are many different residential roof designs.  Regardless of what styles you have, prefabricated roof trusses where more than likely used in the construction of your roof.  This is where the problems begin.  Each of these roof trusses are attached to the load bearing walls of your home.  In the past little or no consideration was made as to the method of attaching the trusses to the walls.  The only problem was fighting gravity, meaning keeping the structure from collapsing.
