Fortified™ Roofing

Upgrade to a FORTIFIED Home™ in Metairie, Old Metairie, or Uptown.

Take advantage of the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP). The LFHP grants up to $10,000 for homeowners to upgrade their roofs to the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). The program will help Louisiana homeowners strengthen their roofs to better withstand hurricane-force winds and other severe weather. 

Beyond Standard Roofing: The Gold Standard in Storm Protection

In the Gulf South, a standard roof is often the bare minimum. A Fortified™ Roof is a scientifically proven system designed to strengthen your home against the devastating effects of hurricanes and high-wind events. Restorical Homes & Renovations is proud to be a certified installer of Fortified™ installations across Metairie and New Orleans, helping homeowners secure their legacies while often qualifying for significant insurance premium reductions.

What is a FORTIFIED Home™?

Unlike a traditional roof replacement, a Fortified™ installation requires strict adherence to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) standards. When you choose Restorical Homes for your Fortified™ upgrade in Old Metairie, Uptown, or Lakeview, we implement:

  • Enhanced Roof Deck Attachment: We use specialized ring-shank nails, spaced precisely to double the uplift resistance of your roof deck.

  • Sealed Roof Deck: We apply a secondary water barrier over all plywood joints. 

  • Locked-Down Drip Edges: We utilize drip edges and high-performance starter strips to prevent wind from catching the edge of your roof.

  • Impact-Resistant Materials: We install elite shingles from TAMKO, Atlas, or Owens Corning that are rated to withstand hail and flying debris.

  • Third-Party Verification: Every Fortified™ project is documented and verified by a certified evaluator to ensure your home qualifies for the official designation.

The Benefits of the Fortified™ Standard

Investing in a Fortified™ roof in neighborhoods like Bucktown, English Turn, or Pontchartrain Shores provides more than just safety:

  1. Lower Insurance Premiums: Many Louisiana insurance providers offer mandatory discounts for homes with a certified Fortified™ Roof.

  2. Higher Resale Value: A “Fortified™” designation can be a massive selling point in the Greater New Orleans real estate market.

  3. Superior Longevity: By reinforcing every weak point, these roofs naturally help to last longer and often require less maintenance over time.

  4. Peace of Mind: When the next hurricane enters the Gulf, you’ll feel protected by the most resilient roofing system available.

Serving the Greater Region with Master Craftsmanship

We provide elite Fortified™ installations for discerning homeowners in:

  • Metairie & Lakefront: Old Metairie, Bucktown, Lakefront, and Pontchartrain Shores.

  • New Orleans Neighborhoods: Uptown, Garden District, Lakeview, Audubon, and Mid-City.

  • The Northshore: Covington, Mandeville, and Madisonville.

  • High-Value Enclaves: Specialized service for English Turn, Destrehan, and River Ridge.
