FSR is a certified FORTIFIED installer — one of the few roofing contractors in Central Texas qualified to build roofs to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard.
Certified FORTIFIEDFORTIFIED is a building standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. It goes beyond local building codes by requiring specific materials, installation methods, and inspection processes that make your roof significantly more resistant to wind and hail damage.
A FORTIFIED designation is not just a certificate. It is a verified and inspected result. An independent IBHS certified evaluator inspects every FORTIFIED roof before the designation is issued. No self reporting. No shortcuts.
Many Texas insurance carriers offer premium discounts for homes with a FORTIFIED Roof designation. The discount varies by carrier but can be significant enough to offset a meaningful portion of the upgrade cost over time. Ask your agent what a FORTIFIED designation is worth on your policy before we begin.
Central Texas gets hail. It gets wind. FORTIFIED roofs are engineered specifically to handle both. The standard requires sealed roof decks, impact rated materials, and secure attachment at every point. Not just the surface layer.
Every FORTIFIED roof is inspected and verified by an IBHS certified evaluator before the designation is issued. FSR handles the installation to spec. The evaluator confirms it independently. You get documentation you can take to your insurance company.
This installation meets the full IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standard and has been verified and designated.
Not every roofing contractor can install a FORTIFIED roof. The certification requires specific training, an understanding of the IBHS standard, and the ability to execute every detail to spec. FSR earned this certification because we take the work seriously and we build roofs that hold up to independent verification.
Schedule a FORTIFIED ConsultationThe upgrade cost depends on your home and the materials involved. In many cases the additional cost is modest because the materials FSR already installs meet or exceed many FORTIFIED requirements. The biggest variable is the sealed roof deck and the independent inspection fee. We give you a detailed breakdown during your free estimate.
Many Texas carriers offer discounts for FORTIFIED designated roofs. The amount varies by carrier and policy. We recommend calling your agent before starting the project so you know exactly what savings to expect.
A FORTIFIED Roof designation is valid for five years. After that you can have the roof re-evaluated to renew the designation if the roof is still in qualifying condition.
In most cases no. The FORTIFIED standard requires specific underlayment, deck sealing, and attachment methods that need to be done during a new installation. If you are planning a reroof, that is the right time to go FORTIFIED.
An independent IBHS certified evaluator inspects the roof at multiple stages during installation. FSR does not perform the inspection. The evaluator is a neutral third party who verifies that every FORTIFIED requirement has been met before issuing the designation.
