Truss Load Calculations
Nikiski receives heavy winter snow. Roof systems are engineered for 50-70 lbs per square foot, utilizing double-plated spruce trusses.
Ventilation and Ice Dam Prevention
Heat leakage warms the roof, melting snow that refreezes at the gutters. Continuous soffit-to-ridge venting keeps the attic cold, stopping ice dams.
