The requirement for re-nailing roof sheathing for a roof replacement became effective on October 1, 2007. When you replace a roof on a home that was built before the implementation of the statewide Florida Building Code on March 1, 2002, the nailing of the roof sheathing (decking) must be brought up to current standards for hurricane resistance as part of the installation of the new roof. Full requirements are covered in the Existing Building edition of The Florida Building Code, Section 706. For more details, see our blog post What are the roof sheathing requirements for a roof replacement in Florida?

While we hope you find this series of articles about home inspection helpful, they should not be considered an alternative to an actual home inspection by a local inspector. Also, construction methods and materials vary in different parts of the country and it is possible that important issues related to your area may not be covered here. We are in Florida and provide plenty of information about hurricanes and sinkholes, for example, but nothing on basements and ice dams. Code requirements cited may have been changed in a newer code edition, or may not yet be adopted in your area. We are not affiliated with, and do not receive any compensation from, any of the companies or products mentioned in this blog. © McGarry and Madsen
