Build it Right.
Build it Fortified.
We evaluate, document, and guide property owners through the IBHS FORTIFIED program to help you qualify for insurance discounts and stronger protection.
Why get fortified?
-
FORTIFIED standards are designed to strengthen key components of your property, helping it better withstand high winds, heavy rain, and severe weather common along the Gulf Coast.
-
By improving how your roof and structure perform under stress, a FORTIFIED property is less likely to experience major damage, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of insurance claims.
-
FORTIFIED certification can qualify home and business owners for insurance discounts. The program’s design reduces weather-related risks, which insurers value, leading to lower premiums
-
A 2018 NIBS report found that for every dollar invested in FORTIFIED Home standards, homeowners could save $5 in avoided property damage. This return on investment comes from reduced repair costs, lower insurance payouts, and less rebuilding.
-
By meeting third-party verified standards, FORTIFIED homes offer proven performance and certified protection, giving homeowners confidence that their property is prepared for severe weather.
