FORTIFIED is a voluntary construction and re-roofing program designed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) to make new and existing homes more resilient to severe weather. From high winds and hurricanes to hail and tornadoes, FORTIFIED standards go beyond typical building codes to offer superior protection for your home and family. It's about building stronger, safer, and smarter.

It all starts with a phone call to one of our Certified FORTIFIED Evaluators. They will be able to provide information and guidance on the program and standards.

Homeowners can achieve FORTIFIED ROOF, SILVER, or GOLD certification by adhering to the FORTIFIED standards.

Did you know that there are several programs out there that will give you grant money to FORTIFY your home?

The Louisiana Department of Insurance awards of up $10,000 for a replacement roof that meets the FORTIFIED standard and East St Tammany is granting awards of up to $15,000!

Unlock substantial insurance savings! Louisiana property owners who get a FORTIFIED Roof or build a FORTIFIED home may qualify for 20-52% discounts on the wind portion of their insurance premiums.

There is also the Louisiana Voluntary Retrofit Tax Deduction: Louisiana provides a tax deduction of up to $5,000 (or 50% of the cost, whichever is lower) for retrofitting an existing residential structure to meet current building code requirements. Many of the qualifying retrofits (like a sealed roof deck, enhanced roof attachment, gable-end bracing, and opening protection) are included in the FORTIFIED standard.

We are highly trained and rigorously tested professionals, certified by IBHS, to ensure every aspect of your FORTIFIED project meets the program's exacting standards.
