thread1066-310443: Residential Truss Repair Advice
In California most real estate transactions perform a home inspection that usually finds roof truss damage in the attic and thus, a report is made for corrections, but the inspectors arent qualified to provide the fix. In California they expect a wet stamped engineered repair detail and the work to be performed by a qualified contractor. If this common in other parts of the country or is California the most pronounced state for this ?
The reason I ask is that my company has a very unique solution for these issues and am wondering the need and possibilty to expand my business model to other states.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Here is Florida, most truss repairs require engineer to sketch repair, sign and seal. I'm sure many get done without any engineering involvement or inspection. I see them when checking for other issues.
