non-union labor and cheap building materials are the root cause of higher rates

when my old house was built in 1940 it had REAL 4x8 roof beams with a hand nailed
grooved wood plank roof those simply doNOT blow off
even in andrews worst eye wall area

nearly all post 1960 homes use plywood on 2 by truss roofs,
they sure do blow off
esp when nail guns are used

bahamas use a shipbuild like 3 layer ply roof screwed and glued
BUT our south Fla codes STILL WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TYPE OF ROOF
