A new engineering group is in the making! Tim McCarthy P.E., founder of roof reinforcement services nationwide, has left Engineered Framing Systems to form a new engineering services provider. "I have been involved in the design of reinforcements for roof structures since I first graduated from the University almost too many years to count ago," laughed Tim. My early teachers were pre-eminent structural engineers. The four principals of my first assignment were, each of them, past presidents of the Structural Engineers Association of California. We reinforced roofs for retailers and military structures all over the region. In those days, bow string trusses were the thing. Not its steel joists. The manufactured products evolve, but sound engineering remains the same." Stay tuned!

Roof Strengthening and Roof Reinforcement methods are explored in this site. The most economically successful roof structures have utilized truss shapes. During the course of the last century, eonmies of scale and mass production have been brought to this naturally economical structural shape. As the engineering process has been increasingly performed by manufacturers, private engineering firms are often unsure how to design reinforcements for the structures for their Client's when needed.
