FORTIFIED Roof vs Regular Roof

A regular roof is built to code. A FORTIFIED roof is built to a higher engineered standard designed by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety to survive high wind.

What FORTIFIED Adds

A base FORTIFIED Roof requires a sealed roof deck so it stays watertight even if shingles blow off, enhanced ring-shank nail attachment, reinforced hip and ridge caps, and FORTIFIED edge detailing. Each of those is a common failure point on a standard roof in a Louisiana storm.

Only FORTIFIED Earns the Discount

Louisiana homeowners can stack three money programs on a FORTIFIED roof: the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program grant of up to 10,000 dollars when a lottery round is open, the Act 404 state income tax credit of up to 10,000 dollars, and the Louisiana Regulation 136 discount on the hurricane portion of the premium, required no later than January 1, 2027: 29, 43, and 49 percent for FORTIFIED Roof, Silver, and Gold in South zone parishes, 27, 35, and 42 percent in Central, and 16, 20, and 24 percent in North, per the Louisiana Department of Insurance.
