Dear Sir or Madam:
Per your request, Florida Engineering & Testing Inc. (Inspector: Naresh Persaud, EI#1100008977),
has conducted a visual inspection supplemented by client provided photographs on October 25, 2021,
to evaluate truss/rafter repairs at all eaves of the residence that exhibited damage.
Background Information
The client is re-roofing the above referenced building. Based on the client's visual observation from
below, all the wood roof trusses/rafters would require the 16-inch eave overhang around the roof
perimeter only to be repaired. It is our understanding that all areas with damaged wood roof
trusses/rafters were repaired in-place.
Engineered Truss/Rafter Repair Observations
• 2"x4" of the same size/species/grade lumber was "sistered-in" (scabbed) to the truss/rafter
member.
• The "sistered-in" (scabbed) piece extended a minimum of two(2) feet past the damaged area
of each damaged member at the eaves.
• All "sistered-in" (scabbed) lumber was attached with 2 rows of 8d ring shank nails spaced
approximately 4"o.c.(nails in each row spaced 4"o.c.)
Based on our inspection of the repaired wood roof trusses/rafters and our engineer's analysis,
all repaired wood roof trusses/rafters at the 16-inch eave overhang around the roof perimeter
only were observed to meet the minimum standards of the 2020 Florida Building Code, latest
edition,and are now acceptable.
Florida Engineering&Testing, Inc.appreciates the opportunity to be of service to you at this phase of
your project. If you should have any 6uaA/ibW b+r/jeppments, please feel free to contact us at your
