FORTIFIED Roof Installation in Lafayette, LA

Acadiana Roof Restoration builds IBHS FORTIFIED roofs across Lafayette and the surrounding parishes. FORTIFIED is the construction standard proven to keep roofs on homes during the high wind and wind driven rain that south Louisiana sees every hurricane season. As a certified FORTIFIED contractor that is veteran owned and BBB A plus rated, we build the roof right and handle the paperwork that turns that stronger roof into real insurance savings.

What FORTIFIED actually means

A standard roof and a FORTIFIED roof can look the same from the street, but they are built differently where it counts. A FORTIFIED roof from Acadiana Roof Restoration uses a sealed roof deck so wind driven rain cannot pour in if shingles are lost, ring shank nails that hold far better than smooth nails, and reinforced edge and starter details that resist the peeling force of hurricane wind. Those details are what earn the FORTIFIED designation from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.

Insurance savings for Lafayette homeowners

Louisiana requires insurers to reward a FORTIFIED roof with a premium discount. Published carrier examples include Liberty Mutual and Safeco near 40 percent, USAA near 37 percent, State Farm near 35 percent, and Allstate near 30 percent on the wind portion of the premium. Regulation 136 sets minimum discounts that climb higher for Gold and Silver designations in south Louisiana. For many Lafayette homeowners, those yearly savings offset a meaningful share of the cost of building to the standard.

State grant help

The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program offers grants of up to 10,000 dollars to bring a roof up to the FORTIFIED standard, paid directly to the contractor. Registration opens in rounds through the Louisiana Department of Insurance, so check their site for the current status. We build your roof so it qualifies, and we walk you through the evaluator inspection the program and your insurer require.

Frequently asked questions

Will a FORTIFIED roof really lower my premium?

Yes. Louisiana law requires the discount once the roof is certified. We provide the FORTIFIED documentation your insurer needs to apply it.
