Is Your FORTIFIED Roof Certification About to Expire? Here’s Why It Matters

This week marks five years since Hurricane Sally made landfall and tore through the Gulf Coast, leaving behind widespread damage and lasting lessons for homeowners across the region. For many, Sally was the turning point — the reason they chose to install a FORTIFIED roof, designed to better protect homes against high winds, heavy rain, and flying debris. But here’s something many homeowners don’t realize:

FORTIFIED Certifications Expire After 5 Years

If your roof was installed or certified shortly after Hurricane Sally, your FORTIFIED™ Roof designation may now be due for reinspection and recertification.

Why Re-Certification Matters:

• Maintains Your Insurance Discounts
  Many insurance carriers offer incentives for FORTIFIED roofs — but only if your certification is current.

• Confirms Your Roof Is Still Storm-Ready
  A re-inspection helps ensure your roof still meets FORTIFIED standards and hasn’t been compromised by time, wear, or past storms.

• Identifies Small Issues Early
  Minor damage or wear can be caught before it turns into costly repairs — or worse, a failure during the next big storm.

Don’t wait until the next storm is on the radar.
