What does a FORTIFIED roof actually cost compared to a standard roof?

FORTIFIED scope and evaluation costs depend on your roof and the required details. We can compare roofing options in an estimate. LFHP registration is closed; future grants depend on LDI rules. Ask your insurer about available discounts rather than assuming savings.

Is the Louisiana Fortify Homes Grant still available?

The program runs in funding rounds announced by the Louisiana Department of Insurance, and rounds fill quickly. Availability changes throughout the year, so call us at (985) 626-7663 and we'll tell you where the program currently stands and help you get ready for the next round if one isn't open.

Will a FORTIFIED roof lower my homeowner's insurance?

Insurance discounts depend on the insurer and policy. Ask your agent about the requirements; a designation is issued by IBHS following independent evaluation and review.

Can I get FORTIFIED certification without replacing my whole roof?

FORTIFIED Roof certification is generally achieved during a re-roof, because the standard's core requirements — sealing the deck and upgrading the fastening and edges — are only accessible when the old roofing comes off. That's why we tell homeowners planning a replacement: this is the moment to do it.

Who verifies that my roof is actually FORTIFIED?

Not us — and that's the point. An independent, IBHS-credentialed evaluator reviews photo documentation from each stage of the installation and issues the designation. Your insurer gets third-party proof, not just a contractor's word.

FORTIFIED Roofing Details for Your Mandeville Home

FORTIFIED is a construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), built from decades of research into why roofs fail in hurricanes. A FORTIFIED Roof goes beyond Louisiana building code: the roof deck is sealed so wind-driven rain can't pour into your attic if shingles are lost, edges are locked down against uplift, and the whole system is installed to a documented, third-party-verified standard.

LDI has offered grants of up to $10,000 for eligible roof upgrades. Registration is currently closed, and future rounds will be announced by LDI. A FORTIFIED designation may support insurance discounts depending on your policy.

We provide the roofing construction scope and project documentation. The independent evaluator assesses the work and submits documentation to IBHS, which determines designation. All Star Roofing does not issue designation or grant approval.

What To Know

How FORTIFIED Certification Works

1. Evaluation & estimate

We inspect your roof, explain what a FORTIFIED upgrade involves for your specific home, and give you a written estimate — with program eligibility determined by LDI.

2. Review the program requirements

LFHP registration is currently closed. Review the LDI homeowner rules and future-round announcements before planning a grant-funded project. Program approval is required before work begins.

3. Installation to the FORTIFIED standard

Sealed roof deck, enhanced edge attachment, and wind-rated materials — installed by our roofing crews and documented at every stage.

4. Independent verification

A third-party FORTIFIED evaluator reviews the documentation and verifies the installation. This independent check is what makes the designation credible to insurers.

5. Your FORTIFIED designation

IBHS determines designation after reviewing documentation from the independent evaluator. If a designation is issued, ask your insurer about applicable discounts.

What Makes a FORTIFIED Roof Different

Most roofs fail in hurricanes at the edges and the deck. FORTIFIED targets exactly those weak points, which is why FORTIFIED roofs have a strong track record in the storms that have hit the Gulf Coast.

Sealed roof deck — blocks wind-driven rain even if shingles are lost

Enhanced fastening — the deck is nailed to a stricter schedule than code

Locked-down edges — drip edge and starter courses engineered against uplift

Wind-rated shingles installed to manufacturer and IBHS specification

Third-party verified — an independent evaluator certifies the work

Louisiana Fortify Homes Grant — Up to $10,000

LFHP registration is currently closed. LDI announces future rounds and determines property eligibility and available funding. Previous rounds offered grants up to $10,000 for eligible upgrades; approval is required before work begins.
