What is Fortified?
FORTIFIED™ is a voluntary construction and re-roofing standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) — a nonprofit research organization funded by the insurance industry. Unlike standard building codes that focus primarily on life safety, the FORTIFIED program is designed to enhance.
Key features & benefits
- Grants of up to $6,000 to $10,000 are available (depending on location) to assist homeowners in upgrading roofs to FORTIFIED standards.
- In coastal counties and barrier islands, higher grant amounts (e.g. $10,000) may apply.
- Insurance premium discounts or mitigation credits may be available for homes meeting FORTIFIED standards.
- A “FORTIFIED Endorsement” is also offered by some insurers. After a covered loss, eligible policyholders may upgrade to a FORTIFIED roof and get reimbursement up to a specified limit (e.g., $5,000) under certain policies.
- Every FORTIFIED roof installation is independently verified by a third-party evaluator to ensure compliance with the standards.
