FORTIFIED is a voluntary construction and re-roofing standard designed to strengthen homes, commercial buildings, and multifamily developments against severe weather, such as high winds, hail, hurricanes, and even tornadoes.
There are three FORTIFIED standards – FORTIFIED Home™, FORTIFIED Commercial™, and FORTIFIED Multifamily™.
Over 90,000 homes nationwide meet the FORTIFIED Home™ standard. During the record-breaking 2020 Hurricane Season, approximately 95% of the nearly 17,000 FORTIFIED homes impacted by Hurricane Sally experienced little to no damage and had no insurance claims.
