Third Nail (formerly Maximum Solutions) has completed over 20,000 retrofit projects since opening our doors. We were the first in Florida to specialize in this niche and remain the most experienced company of our kind.
Our team includes licensed contractors and seasoned technicians who work in tight attic spaces and high-heat conditions—all to keep your home safer and compliant.
Our technicians start with a detailed attic inspection to identify missing or outdated hurricane straps. It’s careful, technical work that requires professional expertise.

Florida homes built before 2001 often lack modern roof-to-wall connections. We upgrade them with certified hurricane straps and clips that strengthen vulnerable areas and help homeowners qualify for wind-mitigation insurance credits.

The Third Nail Process
This work is done in very tight and hot attic spaces, requiring careful navigation. Our techs are specifically trained for these conditions to ensure every detail is handled professionally
and safely.
Evaluation + Attic Access
We begin with a full review of your existing wind-mitigation report and an attic access setup. This allows our team to safely inspect all trusses, connections, and strap conditions before any work begins.

Attic Inspection
& Prep
Every truss is inspected, and all existing hurricane straps are evaluated for proper alignment and fastening.
Secure the Third Nail / Correct Straps
Straps with fewer than 3 nails are reinforced with a third nail to meet code standards. Any strap with more than a ½" gap is corrected using structural blocking for maximum strength.
Third-Party Inspection + Updated Wind Mitigation Form
Your new wind mitigation documenting our third nail work can then be submitted to your insurance agent for your credits to be applied.
