Get FORTIFIED
FORTIFIED construction provides protection for homes and businesses against storm damage. The standards, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, are based on years of research and real-world testing, and can be applied to new construction, roofing projects, or renovations.
FORTIFIED standards for coastal and inland areas reduce damage from specific weather threats such as hurricanes, hail, and high winds. |

Services
Roof
The FORTIFIED Home™ Roof level focuses on the roof system by creating a sealed roof deck to prevent wind and water from entering the attic through the roof covering.
|
Silver
The FORTIFIED Home™ Silver level expands upon the roof system addressed in the Fortified Roof level by also addressing windows, doors, chimneys, and attached structures.
|
Gold
The FORTIFIED Home™ Gold level completes the fortification process by integrating all elements of the house, from the roof to the walls, floors, and foundation, so that they work as a unified system.

Why FORTIFIED?
A FORTIFIED Home™ can provide many benefits for your home, including:
- Enhanced Protection against Natural Disasters: A FORTIFIED certified home is built to withstand severe weather conditions, such as high winds and heavy rain, providing better protection for you and your family.
- Reduced Insurance Costs: Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowners insurance for homes that have been certified as FORTIFIED.
- Increased Home Value: A FORTIFIED certificate can increase the value of your home by demonstrating to potential buyers that your home has been built or renovated to meet high standards for protection against natural disasters.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your home has been built or renovated to FORTIFIED standards provides peace of mind in the face of severe weather conditions.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Some of the upgrades required to meet FORTIFIED standards, such as better insulation and weather-resistant windows, can also lead to improved energy efficiency and lower energy bills.
