The Fortified Roofing Program Up Close
FORTIFIED™ is a voluntary program designed to fortify homes and commercial buildings, enhancing their resilience against severe weather conditions like high winds, hail, hurricanes, and tornadoes. By strengthening structures, the program ensures their durability and ability to withstand the forces of nature. Join the program and protect your property from the unpredictable elements.
A Stronger Roof System for Your Home
Regardless of the roofing material — shingles, metal, or tile — complying with the Fortified Roof requirements will fortify the structural integrity of your home.
Stronger Edges
FORTIFIED™ utilizes a wider drip edge and a fully adhered starter strip. When used in tandem, they create a stronger and more durable 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 regions susceptible to hailstorms, the FORTIFIED™ standard employs shingles that have undergone rigorous testing by IBHS, showcasing their capacity to withstand hail of up to 2 inches in diameter.
Why Choose a Fortified Roof?
Fortified Roofing provides a custom-made solution to protect your home from the destructive forces of high winds, hurricanes, hailstorms, severe thunderstorms, and even tornadoes up to EF-2. Whether your roof is made of shingles, metal, or tile, complying with the Fortified Roof requirements will strengthen your home and increase its resilience.
Save Money on Your Insurance Premium
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program provides homeowners with the chance to receive grants of up to $10,000 for roof upgrades that meet the stringent standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. This program aims to support Louisiana homeowners in fortifying their roofs, enhancing their ability to withstand the powerful winds generated by hurricanes with greater effectiveness.
Guidelines for the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program
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.
-
Homeowners are required to provide evidence of an active wind insurance policy and a valid flood insurance policy for properties situated in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
-
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 New Orleans 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 damage your roof. Even mild storm winds, clocking in at a mere 50 mph, possess enough force to inflict damage and allow water to infiltrate. FORTIFIED™ presents a solution that protects your home by pinpointing vulnerabilities in traditional construction methods.
By choosing FORTIFIED™, you're getting a comprehensive set of enhancements that work in harmony to protect your home against severe weather. Each FORTIFIED™ solution is meticulously tailored to deliver the precise level of protection required, perfectly aligned with the unique weather conditions your home faces.
