Yes, We Do FORTIFIED™ Roofs Too!

  • FORTIFIED™ Evaluators are independent, third-party professionals who have been trained and certified in FORTIFIED™ standard requirements.  

  • We document and verify the entire construction process to ensure program requirements are met. We work with all parties involved to help the process go smoothly.

  • The FORTIFIED™ Evaluation is performed by Zach Smith, a FORTIFIED™ Evaluator and is a required step in the grant process that determines whether the home is eligible to be upgraded to the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard and what work is needed to upgrade the home.

  • The evaluation process continues through completion of the work to confirm the home is properly upgraded to the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard.

  • We will provide a report to IBHS and obtain the FORTIFIED™ Roof certificate. Homeowners are responsible for paying evaluation fees for the entire evaluation process according to prices set by the Evaluator.

  • The fee for a Fortified Evaluation is $500. This fee included the initial roof evaluation, final inspection and FORTIFIED™ Roof Certificate.

Why a FORTIFIED™ Roof?

FORTIFIED roofs offer enhanced protection and resilience by exceeding standard building codes with stronger construction, improved wind resistance, and superior water intrusion prevention. They incorporate impact-resistant materials to withstand hail and reduce the risk of roof failure during severe weather. Financial benefits include potential insurance discounts, long-term cost savings, and increased home value. Additionally, they provide peace of mind, improved safety for homeowners, and can enhance resale value by appealing to buyers seeking a more durable roofing system.

Wind Mitigation Survey

In addition to the Fortified Roof, we offer Wind Mitigation Surveys. A Wind Mitigation Survey, also known as a Hurricane Loss Mitigation Survey, is an inspection conducted by a certified professional to assess your home's wind-resistant features. These may include door and window coverings, the method of roof attachment, and the sealing of the roof to prevent water intrusion.

While not mandatory for obtaining homeowners insurance, a wind mitigation inspection can lead to significant savings on your policy. The fee for a wind mitigation survey is $250.
