A FORTIFIED Roof is designed to provide stronger protection against high winds and wind-driven rain. Built using science-backed standards, this roofing system helps reduce storm damage and keeps your home safer when severe weather hits.
Why choose a FORTIFIED Roof?
Better protection from wind and rain: Enhanced construction methods help prevent water intrusion and roof failure during storms.
Faster recovery after storms: Reduced damage can mean fewer repairs and less time displaced from your home.
Potential insurance savings: Homes with a FORTIFIED designation may qualify for wind mitigation credits that can lower insurance premiums (availability varies by insurer and location).
How a FORTIFIED Roof Adds Extra Protection
A FORTIFIED Roof goes beyond standard roofing requirements by focusing on the most vulnerable areas of your roof:
Stronger connections: Improved nailing patterns help keep the roof securely attached during high winds.
Sealed roof deck: Gaps between the roof deck are sealed to help prevent water from entering if shingles are damaged.
Reinforced edges: Roof edges are strengthened with specialized materials to reduce wind uplift, one of the most common causes of roof failure.
