RE: ROOF INSPECTIONS
Matthews Residence - Sloped Tile Roof
1446 SW 25`h Avenue - Unit B; Boynton Beach, FL
Dear Sir or Madam:
Per your request, Florida Engineering & Testing Inc. has conducted a visual as-built inspection
on August 3, 2017 to verify the re-roofing workmanship and materials used. Our inspection was
performed to the minimum standards of the Florida Product Approval # FL7804-R9, RAS-120,
and the 2014 Florida Building Code. Our field inspection procedure consisted of selecting one
area in each roof zone as a representative sample of the whole. The contractor removed roofing
layers to expose the underlayment lapping, and back nailing in the field, perimeter and corner
areas of the roof. The following is a summary of our observations:
Sheathing Inspection
The sheathing material was observed to be a 5/8" plywood sheathing secured at panel edges with
8d cormnon nails at 6" o.c. and at 6"o.c. at intermediate supports.
Underlayment Inspection
The underlayment sheet was observed to be a Boral TileSeal FIT underlayment sheet fully self-
adhered directly to the plywood deck. The head/side laps were observed to be a minimum of 3"
and no end laps were observed. No bubbles, blisters, or fish mouths were observed and all laps
were observed to be fully adhered and well bonded. The underlayment sheet was observed to be
backnailed at a maximum of 9" o.c. The drip edges were observed to be attached at a maximum
of every 4" o.c. with ring shank nails with a minimum 6" overlap at seams.
Tile In-Progress Inspection
The inspected areas consisted of Entegra Concrete Bermuda Flat tile attached using foam
adhesive. Field, perimeter, and corner areas were opened, and tiles were found to be attached
using a proper large patty placement. All roof tile head laps were observed to be 2" or greater.

Matthews Residence
1446 S.W. 251h Avenue Unit B
Boynton Beach, Florida
Dear Sir or Madam:
In accordance with your authorization, Florida Engineering & Testing Inc., has performed
Tile Uplift Testing in compliance with Testing Application Standards TAS-106 and the
Florida Building Code High Velocity Hurricane Zone on August 3, 2017, at the above
referenced project.
The purpose of our inspection was to determine the uplift capacity of the roof tiles for the
proposed addition at the above referenced project. This inspection does not include the
roof files for the rest of the existing structure. The subject roof consisted of concrete
flat tile foam set. The pitch of the subject roof is 4/12.
Our field engineer's representative visited the site and conducted twenty-eight (28) uplift
tests on the roof tiles. All tests were performed according to the Florida Building Code
High Velocity Hurricane Zone and protocol TAS-106 using an Intercomp scale model
CS200. The following is a summary of results:
Field Test Results
Test Number Test Location Field Uplift Pull Test Test Result

3 - 14 Perimeter See Attached Diagram 35 ± 5 pounds Passed

All test results were found to be in compliance with TAS-106 and the Florida Building
Code (see attached field sketch).
The test results are limited to the tested areas. If other roof areas exhibit different
conditions, it should be brought to our attention for remedial work. This uplift test is not
a final roof inspection. A final roof inspection must be conducted by the building official
for approval.
The test results presented reflect the condition of the roof system at the time of the test.
These results are time and sample dependent since roof conditions are continuously
changing due to exposure to the elements.
