Get a Roof That Can Withstand The Elements

Fortified roof is a program designed to improve the resilience of roofs during severe weather events such as hurricanes, hailstorms, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. The program includes requirements such as stronger roof deck attachment, improved roof-to-wall connections, reinforced gable ends, improved hip and ridge details, and adequate roof ventilation.


There are many benefits to a Fortified roof, including lower insurance premiums, reduced risk of damage from natural disasters, and potential tax benefits. When deciding if a Fortified roof is right for you, consider the cost of the upgrade, the likelihood of damage in your area, and the potential reduction in insurance premiums. Consult a Fortified roofing expert. Click here for more information on Fortified roofing requirements.

Here are some of the benefits of a Fortified roof:

  • Impact Resistant Shingle

    Impact-resistant shingles is a benefit of a Fortified roof. Impact-resistant shingles are made with materials that are specifically designed to withstand hail, wind, and other types of impact. This type of shingle is typically thicker and more durable than traditional shingles, providing a higher level of protection for your home and family. The use of impact-resistant shingles can also help to lower insurance costs, as many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with this type of roofing material. Additionally, impact-resistant shingles can help to reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements, ultimately saving you money in the long run.

  • Better Attachment

    Improved attachment is also a benefit of a fortified roof. A Fortified roof is typically anchored more securely to the structure of the building, which helps to prevent the roof from being damaged or becoming detached during high winds or other extreme weather events. This improved attachment also helps to ensure the roof remains in place, even during severe storms, providing additional protection for your home and family.

  • Sealed Roof Deck

    A sealed roof deck is another benefit of a fortified roof. A sealed roof deck helps to prevent water and other elements from infiltrating the structure of the building, which can cause damage to the interior of the home. A sealed roof deck also helps to prevent mold and mildew growth, which can cause health problems for the occupants of the home. The sealing process typically involves applying a waterproof membrane to the deck, which helps to keep it protected from moisture and other elements.

  • Stronger Edges

    Stronger edges are a benefit of a Fortified roof. The edges of a traditional roof are often the weakest point and can be easily damaged during high winds and other extreme weather conditions. A fortified roof, on the other hand, is designed with stronger edges that are better able to withstand these types of conditions. This helps to prevent damage to the roof and the surrounding structure, providing a higher level of protection for your home and family. Stronger edges also help to ensure that the roof remains in place, even during severe storms, which can help to prevent more extensive damage.

Is a Fortified Roof Right for You?

Understanding the Benefits and Costs

Introduction: Natural disasters, such as hurricanes and windstorms, can cause significant damage to homes and result in costly insurance claims. One way to reduce the risk   of damage and lower insurance premiums is to install a Fortified roof. In this article, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when deciding if a Fortified roof is right for you.

  • Is a Fortified roof tax deductible?

    A Fortified roof may be tax deductible if it is considered a capital improvement to your property and you itemize your deductions on your tax return. It’s best to consult a tax professional for specific guidance on whether the cost of a fortified roof is tax deductible.

  • Is a Fortified roof worth it?

    The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the cost of the upgrade, the likelihood of damage from natural disasters in your area, and the potential reduction in insurance premiums.

    Consider the following when deciding if a fortified roof is worth it:

    • The cost of the upgrade
    • The likelihood of damage from natural disasters in your area
    • The potential reduction in insurance premiums

    Your budget and long-term financial goals

    It’s best to consult a professional to determine if a fortified roof is worth it for you.

  • Will my homeowner's insurance go down with a new roof?

    Installing a new roof, including a Fortified roof, can potentially lower your homeowner's insurance premium by reducing the risk of damage to your home.


    Insurance companies may offer discounts for homes with newer and more durable roofs, so installing a Fortified roof may lower your insurance premium.


    It’s best to contact your insurance company to determine if a new roof will lower your insurance premium.

  • Why do insurance companies ask how old your roof is?

    Insurance companies ask about the age of your roof because older roofs are more prone to damage and may need to be replaced.


    The age of your roof is a factor in determining your insurance premium and the likelihood of future claims.


    A newer and more durable roof may lower your insurance premium.
