A Stronger Roof System for Your Home

Regardless of the type of roof you have, whether it's shingles, metal, or tile, adhering to the Fortified Roof requirements will enhance the strength of your home.

Stronger Edges

FORTIFIED™ uses a broader drip edge and a fully adhered starter strip. When employed in combination, they form a more robust system.

Sealed Roof Deck

To prevent water damage, FORTIFIED™ requires roof decks to be properly sealed.

Better Attachment

Rather than using standard nails, FORTIFIED™ uses ring-shank nails arranged in an enhanced pattern to securely fasten your home's roof deck.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

In areas prone to hailstorms, the FORTIFIED™ standard uses shingles that have been tested by IBHS to demonstrate their ability to withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter.

Louisiana Fortify Homes Program Guidelines

There are plenty of ways you might be eligible for the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program. Review some of the guidelines to better understand the program.

Homeowners are eligible for the program only if they reside in their primary residence and can provide proof of a homestead exemption on the property during the application process.

There is no need to remove this section because it is talking about insurance policies required for the LFHP grant, not insurance claims.

New construction homes, condominiums and mobile homes do not qualify.

Duplexes and similar structures can be considered eligible if the building serves as the homeowner's primary residence and if the homeowner can provide verification of a homestead exemption for the property.

To ensure homes meet the necessary standards, a FORTIFIED™ Evaluator determines their condition. Homeowners are required to cover the evaluation fee, usually ranging from $300 to $500.

Confirmation of a FORTIFIED™ Contractor that is willing to perform work before paying for an Evaluator to inspect the home is preferred. Thankfully, Storm Guard of Slidell is a certified FORTIFIED™ Contractor!

Homeowners who begin work on the project before receiving approval from the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program will not be eligible for a grant.

To be eligible for the grant funding, the completed project must adhere to the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard.

Contractors receive grant funds directly, while homeowners are accountable for any expenses exceeding the granted amount.

Fortified Roofing is a Better Way to Build

You don't need a hurricane or tornado to wreak havoc on your home. Surprisingly, even storm winds as gentle as 50 mph can cause enough damage to let water seep in. FORTIFIED™ offers a solution to safeguard your home by targeting vulnerabilities in conventional construction practices.

When you choose FORTIFIED™, you're getting a comprehensive set of enhancements that work in harmony to protect your home against severe weather. Each FORTIFIED™ solution is carefully tailored to provide the exact level of protection you need, precisely tailored to the unique weather conditions your home is exposed to.
