FORTIFIED Roof goes beyond standard roofing practices to help keep the roof on and the rain out during severe weather.
Stronger roof-deck attachment
A sealed secondary water barrier
Qualifying impact-resistant options
Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, FORTIFIED is a voluntary construction and re-roofing standard based on decades of severe-weather research. A designation requires documented installation and review by an independent evaluator.
Learning the ropes, closing your first consistent jobs. Most reps hit this in year one.
The roof deck is secured with a verified fastening pattern designed to improve resistance to high-wind uplift.
Upgraded drip edge and properly adhered starter materials help keep wind from getting underneath the roof at its most vulnerable point.
Exact requirements depend on the home, roof type, location and current FORTIFIED standard. Your evaluator confirms the job-specific scope.
A Class 3 or Class 4 shingle may improve impact resistance, but the FORTIFIED system also addresses attachment, water entry, edges, vents and documentation.
These are real numbers from real sales activity. What level you hit is up to you.
We inspect the home, review the roof system and explain the FORTIFIED path before work begins.
A certified third-party evaluator documents required materials and installation details.
Silver Ridge installs the specified roof system and coordinates the required photo documentation.
The evaluator submits the completed file to IBHS for review and the official designation decision.
Silver Ridge Roofing & Construction is trained in the FORTIFIED installation process. We build the roof, coordinate with your independent evaluator and document the details that cannot be verified after the shingles go on.
Some carriers or programs may offer incentives, but availability and eligibility vary. Confirm any discount directly with your insurance agent before making a decision.
