In this episode of The FORTIFIED Factor, the AI Experts informed by Knockout Inspections break down Roof Deck Attachment Documentation Standards and explain what FORTIFIED evaluators, roofers, and homeowners need to know about documenting roof sheathing nail patterns.

You’ll learn why roof deck attachment documentation matters, the purpose behind confirming both nail spacing and nail penetration into structural members, and the current standard requirement for eight total photos taken from both above and below the roof deck. The episode also covers the two approved alternative documentation paths for cases where attic access is blocked, the underside of the deck is obscured, or top-side photos cannot be captured during certain new construction projects.

Whether you are pursuing a FORTIFIED designation, planning a re-roof, or simply want to better understand what resilient roofing documentation looks like, this episode helps clarify the standards that can make or break an evaluation.
