What we do
Hurricane Roof to Wall Attachment Retrofit
The only way to determine if your home needs a roof-to-wall attachment retrofit installation is to have your residence inspected by a licensed Home Inspector. They will inspect your home and prepare a Wind Mitigation Inspection Report (OIR-B1-1802). If your home was built before 2002, there’s a chance that your home may need to be retrofitted to qualify for a reduced insurance premium
Why our services are important to you!
Our retrofit services are vital for safeguarding your home against the strong winds and forces associated with hurricanes. Properly installed roof-to-wall attachments help prevent roof damage, enhance overall structural stability, and may lead to potential insurance premium reductions
Hurricane Roof Strap Installation
For all kinds of 3rd Nail and Roof to Wall attachment retrofit services, you can rely on LGT Restoration Services. If your Florida home was built before 2000, your roof-to-wall attachments may only have one or two nails holding it to the truss.
The simple addition of a third nail into these attachments can help homeowners save 25%-35% on their home insurance premium and provide added security to protect your home if disaster strikes. Moreover, your entire home will get extra uplift protection from high winds. Our service is efficient, reliable, and professional. We service the entire state of Florida with our high-quality retrofit services
Hurricane Roof Clip Installation
Roof clips are another vital component in protecting your home’s structural integrity during a hurricane. These metal connectors are used to fasten the roof trusses or rafters directly to the top of your home’s walls. Older homes, especially those built before modern codes were adopted, often lack this critical reinforcement or may have clips that are insufficient or corroded. At LGT Restoration Services, we assess your current roof-to-wall connections and either install new hurricane clips or upgrade existing ones. The result is a much stronger connection that helps keep your roof firmly attached during high-wind events. Not only does this protect your property, but it also enhances your home’s wind mitigation score, which can significantly reduce insurance costs.
Hurricane Tie-Down Installation
Tie-down systems are designed to anchor your roof—and sometimes the entire structure—to the foundation of your home. This is especially important in hurricane-prone areas where wind uplift and lateral pressure can compromise the entire building envelope. Hurricane tie-downs work by connecting the roof trusses all the way down to the slab or footer using a continuous load path. Our team installs these heavy-duty connectors in accordance with the highest safety standards, ensuring that each structural component is linked together for maximum strength. This system greatly reduces the likelihood of roof detachment or wall collapse, offering comprehensive protection when it matters most. Investing in tie-downs is a proactive step toward long-term home resilience.
Roof Truss Strap Installation
Roof truss strap installation is essential for reinforcing the intersection between the roof trusses and the home’s wall framing. These metal straps are installed to “tie” the trusses down to the top plate of the wall framing, helping distribute wind forces and prevent separation during storms. Many older homes have only minimal fastening—sometimes just toenails—leaving them vulnerable to uplift. By retrofitting your home with roof truss straps, we can significantly increase its structural resistance to wind. Our licensed technicians use precise, code-compliant methods to install these straps, ensuring that your roof-to-wall connections meet modern hurricane mitigation standards. This upgrade not only strengthens your home—it may also unlock substantial insurance discounts.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
A wind mitigation inspection is the first and most important step in identifying your home’s vulnerabilities to wind damage. During the inspection, a licensed professional evaluates several key aspects of your home, including roof shape, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, and the presence of opening protections like impact windows or shutters. The inspection report provides a detailed analysis of your home’s current hurricane resistance and outlines opportunities for improvement. At LGT Restoration Services, we partner with certified inspectors to ensure accurate assessments that comply with state insurance guidelines. This report is often required to qualify for insurance discounts, and it serves as a roadmap for targeted upgrades that can protect your home and save you money year after year.
