Got an older house that needs a new roof? Here’s a tip: add straps or clips in the attic to link the roof to the walls. Use the right hardware, put one on each support beam, and keep good records. This really boosts safety in storms and might even lower your insurance! ---

For older homes without roof-to-wall ties, retrofitting with hurricane straps or clips that connect rafters/trusses directly to wall top plates can greatly improve uplift resistance. Installing them during reroofing when decking is exposed makes access easier and helps meet code-recognized standards like FBC or IBC requirements. When properly installed with approved fasteners, these upgrades often qualify for insurance wind-mitigation credits in hurricane-prone regions. ---
