Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against South Florida’s intense weather especially during hurricane season. Over time, building standards evolve, and older homes may not meet today’s wind-resistance requirements. That’s where roof retrofitting services come in. Roof retrofitting strengthens your existing roof structure to meet or exceed current safety codes, reduce wind damage, and help you qualify for valuable insurance discounts.
What Is Roof Retrofitting?
Roof retrofitting involves upgrading and reinforcing your roof’s structural connections—without the need for a full roof replacement. The goal is to improve how your roof is secured to your walls and enhance its ability to withstand high winds and severe storms.
In South Florida, retrofitting often includes:
-
Adding hurricane clips or straps to secure roof trusses
-
Third nail retrofits to strengthen roof-to-wall connections
-
Improving roof decking attachment with upgraded nails or screws
-
Installing secondary water barriers for extra leak protection
-
Enhancing impact resistance with better roof coverings and underlayment
