Why Choose a FORTIFIED™ Roof
Unlike a typical re-roof, FORTIFIED upgrades key details proven to perform in hurricanes, high winds, hail, and severe thunderstorms:
Stronger Connections
Ring-shank nails in an enhanced pattern help keep your roof deck attached in extreme winds.
Sealed Roof Deck
A secondary water barrier (taped seams or full-deck membrane) blocks rain from entering if shingles are damaged or lost.
Reinforced Edges
Edge details are strengthened to reduce shingle loss and peel-back at eaves and rakes.
Real-world results
Independent analyses show FORTIFIED homes experience significantly fewer and less-severe insurance claims in hurricanes—translating to avoided damage and potential savings for homeowners and insurers.

FORTIFIED Roofing FAQ
What is a FORTIFIED™ Roof?
A roofing standard developed by IBHS that upgrades specific details—fasteners, sealed deck, and edges—to help your roof resist wind and keep water out during severe weather.
Do I have to replace my entire roof?
Typically, FORTIFIED is implemented during a re-roof. We’ll inspect your deck and components to confirm the scope and provide options.
Are there different levels?
Yes: FORTIFIED Roof™, Silver™, and Gold™. Roof focuses on the roofing system; Silver and Gold add opening protection and load-path enhancements. We’ll recommend the right path for your home and budget.
Will my insurance go down?
Many carriers and some states offer discounts, grants, or endorsements for FORTIFIED homes, but availability varies by location and insurer. We’ll provide your designation paperwork to share with your carrier.
How long does it take?
Most FORTIFIED re-roofs are completed in 1–2 days for average homes, pending deck repairs and weather. Verification is documented during/after install.
What roofing materials qualify?
Shingle, metal, and tile systems can qualify when installed to the FORTIFIED Roof requirements.
