ROOFING · FORTIFIED ROOF™ CONTRACTOR · IBHS
Code-minimum,
or FORTIFIED.
Code-minimum is what the city requires. FORTIFIED is the IBHS hurricane standard — sealed roof deck, ring-shank nailing, enhanced edge — certified by a third-party evaluator. It's about a third more in labor, qualifies for Louisiana's Fortify Homes grant of up to $10,000, and usually earns an insurance discount — so it's often the cheaper roof to own.
