Dear Mr. Roseberry;
I have been retained to certify the issues noted in your review dated 4/17/2017 for the above
referenced site. I am providing the following report for your use.
The new Hardiplank siding is installed properly per manufacturer's specifications with 8d
stainless steel ring shanks over a 6 mil weatherproof barrier over existing 5/8" CDX plywood
over the existing wall studs.
The negative gravity load structural effects of the Hardiplank installation are non-existent. The
gravity load from Hardiplank is 2.3 PSF. This is equivalent to one layer of 5/8" sheetrock and
slightly more than %2" wood lap siding (2.15 PSF). The substitution of Hardiplank siding to this
structural system can be made without concern to the structural integrity of this building.
The Hardiplank installation at the above reference site meets or exceeds the requirements of the
Florida Building Code, 2014 Edition and ASCE 7-10 and all have been approved by me.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if I can be of any future service, please do not hesitate
