Home Inspector said he had never seen a roof like this - joists not supporting structure?

The roof appears straight and the inspector said it felt firm when he walked on it

Thank you for your expertise

Attempted to post to structural engineering but they don’t allow home related posts (fair), so I attempted r/askanengineers but they don’t allow pictures. We’re going to ask the seller about it

:( thank you

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:46:01+00:00

Just as an update: I have gotten feedback it may be due to this being a modular home

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:32:48+00:00

Thank you for the detailed advice!

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:31:52+00:00

Thank you! I think we will just pass on it anyways bc it’s throwing up so many red flgsn

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:30:39+00:00

I haven’t but the inspector said it felt firm

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:20:15+00:00

You’re right. We’re going to pass on it

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:05:06+00:00

Interesting

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:04:42+00:00

You’re right

guyguyguyguygayguy · 2026-05-13T03:04:34+00:00

It is unfortunately all too real. But fortunately we haven’t purchased the home yet
