The roof deck attachment can be improved by installing additional nails or longer nails to bond the roof sheathing (most commonly: plywood sheets) to the trusses or attic rafters.
When installing a roof to the current code, a licensed roofing contractor will ensure the roof sheathing (e.g., plywood) is nailed down to the trusses or rafters with the proper nails and spacing. This helps hold the roof deck to the trusses/rafters in the event of a windstorm and should ensure it qualifies for the proper windstorm mitigation credit.
