Why Choosing a FORTIFIED™ Certified Roofer Matters — Especially in Texas
When extreme weather strikes—whether it’s high winds, large hail, or hurricane-force gusts—your roof is your building’s first and most important line of defense. That’s why choosing a roofer certified in the FORTIFIED™ program can make all the difference between peace of mind and costly damage.
At Spire Roofing Solutions, we’re proud to be certified in the FORTIFIED™ standards for High Wind, Hail, and Hurricane events. Here's why that matters—and why you should care.
What Is FORTIFIED™?
FORTIFIED™ is a set of engineering-based roofing and construction standards developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). These standards go beyond local building codes to protect homes and commercial properties from the most severe weather conditions.
A FORTIFIED™ roof isn’t just another roof—it’s a system specifically designed to resist uplift, prevent water intrusion, and endure hail impacts more effectively than standard installations.
The Advantages of a FORTIFIED™ Certified Roofer
1. Stronger Protection from Severe Weather
As a certified FORTIFIED™ High Wind, Hail, and Hurricane contractor, Spire Roofing Solutions installs roofs that are:
Tested to withstand wind speeds up to 130+ mph
Designed with sealed roof decks to reduce water damage in case shingles are lost
Equipped with upgraded materials that resist hail punctures and bruising
This makes your roof more durable and your property more secure in the face of Texas’s unpredictable storms.
2. Lower Insurance Premiums
Many insurance carriers recognize the value of a FORTIFIED™ roof and offer discounts on premiums for homes and commercial buildings that meet FORTIFIED™ standards. In some cases, the savings can offset the cost of the upgrade over time.
3. Higher Property Value and Resale Appeal
Properties with FORTIFIED™ certification often stand out in the market. A roof that’s proven to perform better during major weather events is a valuable investment and a strong selling point for future buyers.
4. Certified Expertise and Accountability
Being FORTIFIED™ certified means we’ve been trained and approved by IBHS to install roofing systems that meet their rigorous standards. You get the confidence of working with a contractor who understands the engineering principles behind storm-resistant roofing—and can back it up with third-party verification.
