Hi,
Do you think that visual investigation of roof trusses / frame accessed through the attic can identify all damages, twists and plate defects caused by, say, a tree impact that badly affected the roof? Do you think that such an examination in dark and restricted movement conditions, and in presence of the insulation will result in lacking findings? Don't you agree that making a mess during the investigation by removing the ceiling and examining the frame from underside that will guarantee better identification of truss and wall top plates defects is better than the examination from inside the attic, which risks keeping some defects unidentified?
What are you thoughts? How do you prefer examining roof frame when the damage is already extensive?
