Homeowners, trust me when I tell you it is in your best interest to only hire qualified professionals for your projects. On a recent inspection, I found a structural truss that has been cut to facilitate the installation of a solar tube. This structural truss is now deflecting or “bending” down and out of plane with the other truss members. Needless to say this cut truss will likely lead to several necessary structural repairs.
Oh, and the potential buyer of this home, my client, is a structural engineer who clearly understands the ramifications of this type of alteration.… homeowners, we need to do better!
