Louisiana Fortify Homes

Introducing the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program. This program provides eligible homeowners with financial assistance of up to $10,000 to enhance their roofs with the help of FORTIFIED roofers to meet the rigorous standards established by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. The initiative aims to support Louisiana homeowners in reinforcing their roofs, ensuring they can effectively withstand the powerful winds associated with hurricanes.

FORTIFIED Roof Benefits for New Orleans Homeowners

Stronger Roof Edges

To mitigate the risk of wind uplift and the potential tearing away of the roof edge, FORTIFIED™ mandates specific materials and installation techniques, such as a wider drip edge and a fully adhered starter strip.

Sealed and Protected Roof Deck

A necessary measure for FORTIFIED roof decks is to apply sealing to safeguard against the potential water damage that usually occurs when the roof coverings are dislodged, exposing the wooden decking beneath.

Enhanced Fastening

FORTIFIED requires ring-shank nails instead of conventional smooth nails, significantly bolstering the roof's resistance to high winds and effectively doubling its strength. You can trust Above All Construction, LLC to deliver a FORTIFIED contractor's expertise as a licensed, insured and certified team of professionals.

High Impact-Resistance Shingles

For the FORTIFIED designations elective hail enhancement, the standard necessitates more durable shingles capable of enduring hail of up to two inches in diameter. This provides enhanced safeguarding for your residence.
