NEED A NEW ROOF? MAKE IT FORTIFIED.
Nelson roofing are proud to be Fortified Certified
FORTIFIED Roof™ helps homeowners keep their roof on and keep water out during high winds, hurricanes, hailstorms, and severe thunderstorms.
Choose a fortified roof and get next level protection, backed by science
Every year, severe weather brings powerful winds, torrential rain, hail and even tornadoes. Your contractor can help you defend your home with a FORTIFIED Roof package, developed using cutting-edge science to protect against extreme weather. Based on two decades of research by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, the FORTIFIED building standards define a series of upgrades that go beyond typical building codes to make homes stronger and better able to guard against severe weather. Additionally, having a FORTIFIED Roof may also help you lower the cost of homeowners insurance.
STRENGTHEN YOUR ROOF AND BE READY
3 ways fortified offers extra protection:
- Stronger Connections – Your Roofing Contractor will use more – and stronger – nails in an enhanced pattern proven to help keep the roof attached to your house, even in severe weather.
- Sealed Seams – In extreme winds, even the best roof may lose shingles. To prevent water from pouring into your home, your Roofing Contractor will seal the gaps between your roof’s decking.
- Reinforced Edges – Studies show roof edges are especially vulnerable to wind damage. A FORTIFIED Roofing Contractor uses materials specifically designed to lock them down.
