Why Dayton property owners choose HECS for FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Ohio trust HECS for third-party FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation because we deliver:

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — IBHS FORTIFIED submission, insurer rebate programs. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Dayton projects reference the 2019 Ohio Building Code (based on 2018 IBC) with Montgomery County local amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC; OHFA requires ENERGY STAR or NGBS Green for LIHTC multifamily; many Dayton projects pursue Enterprise Green Communities for affordability.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.

Frequently asked questions — Dayton process + scheduling + code

How quickly can HECS schedule a FORTIFIED evaluation in Dayton?

Most FORTIFIED evaluations in the Dayton metro schedule within 2-3 weeks of contract signing. The roof + attic + fastener documentation typically requires 1-2 site visits.

Is HECS an active IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator in Dayton?

Yes. HECS field technicians hold current IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator credentials. We can submit to IBHS directly on behalf of the homeowner, builder, or insurance carrier.

What is the difference between FORTIFIED Roof, Silver, and Gold designations?

FORTIFIED Roof addresses roof deck attachment, sealed roof deck, and edge metal. Silver adds opening protection (impact-rated windows/doors, gable bracing). Gold adds the complete structural tie-down including wall-to-foundation connections. Most Dayton insurance carrier rebates apply to at least the Roof designation.

What is the typical FORTIFIED Roof insurance carrier discount for Dayton homeowners?

Insurance carrier discounts vary by carrier and state — typical ranges are 5-15% for Roof, 15-25% for Silver, and up to 30-55% for Gold. Contact your carrier for the specific Ohio rates; HECS can provide the certificate that documents the FORTIFIED status.

Does HECS submit FORTIFIED documentation to IBHS directly in Dayton?

Yes. After the on-site evaluation and photo documentation, HECS prepares the IBHS submission package and submits it for FORTIFIED designation. Most submissions receive designation in 6-10 weeks.

Does FORTIFIED certification require a roof replacement in Dayton?

No — FORTIFIED Roof can be applied to an existing roof if it meets the attachment + sealed deck + edge metal criteria (or is upgraded to meet them). Full replacement is often the easiest path on aging roofs; HECS can advise on the most cost-effective option.
