Whether you're building a new home or replacing an aging roof, FORTIFIED construction methods ensure maximum protection from day one.
If you live in an area prone to high winds, hailstorms, or severe thunderstorms, FORTIFIED construction provides proven defense against storm damage.
Many insurance companies offer significant discounts—often 10-30%—for homes with FORTIFIED Roof™ certification, saving you money year after year.
A FORTIFIED Roof protects your most valuable asset with construction techniques designed to prevent catastrophic damage and costly repairs.
When severe weather strikes, you'll have confidence knowing your roof is built to a higher standard that's been tested and proven to perform.
FORTIFIED certification adds measurable value to your home, making it more attractive to buyers who prioritize safety and quality construction.

A qualified third-party inspector evaluates your roof to verify all FORTIFIED standards have been met. Upon passing inspection, your home receives official FORTIFIED Roof™ certification.
We conduct a final walkthrough with you, provide your FORTIFIED certification documentation, review warranty coverage, and answer any remaining questions.
FORTIFIED construction requires a fully sealed roof deck that prevents water intrusion even if shingles are blown off during severe storms. This critical layer protects your home's interior and structure.
Enhanced attachment methods secure your roof structure to your home's walls with greater strength, preventing roof lift-off during high winds and severe weather events.
Roof edges and perimeters receive additional reinforcement and secure attachment to resist wind uplift, one of the most vulnerable areas during storms.
All roofing materials meet stringent wind resistance standards, ensuring shingles, underlayment, and components stay in place during extreme weather.
FORTIFIED standards require ring shank nails for superior holding power compared to standard smooth shank nails, keeping your roof securely attached.
All roof penetrations, valleys, and flashing receive enhanced sealing and attachment methods to prevent water intrusion and wind damage.
Our team is trained and certified in FORTIFIED construction methods, ensuring your roof meets every standard required for certification.
Our extensive roofing expertise combined with FORTIFIED training means we deliver superior construction quality that protects your home for decades.
Every FORTIFIED roof installation includes on-site supervision by an experienced professional who ensures compliance with all FORTIFIED standards.
We help you understand insurance discount opportunities and provide all documentation your insurance company needs to process premium reductions.
We use premium roofing materials that meet or exceed FORTIFIED requirements, backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranties.
We handle all aspects of the FORTIFIED certification process, including coordination with third-party inspectors and providing you with official certification documents.
FORTIFIED Roof™ is a voluntary construction and re-roofing program developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) that strengthens homes against severe weather including high winds, hurricanes, hailstorms, and severe thunderstorms.
FORTIFIED construction typically adds 5-10% to standard roof replacement costs. However, insurance premium savings often offset this investment within a few years, and you gain significantly superior storm protection.
Many insurance companies offer premium discounts of 10-30% for FORTIFIED-certified homes. Savings vary by insurer and location. We can help you understand potential savings with your specific insurance provider.
FORTIFIED certification is typically achieved during new construction or complete roof replacement when all required construction methods can be implemented and inspected.
FORTIFIED certification remains valid as long as the roof system remains unchanged. If you make modifications or replace your roof in the future, recertification may be required.
A qualified third-party inspector evaluates your roof during and after installation to verify all FORTIFIED standards have been met. We coordinate all inspection scheduling and requirements.
