Why Evansville property owners choose HECS for FORTIFIED

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Indiana trust HECS for third-party FORTIFIED.

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NCI Certified Commercial Air Balancer 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 — ENERGY STAR, NGBS Green, EarthCraft, 45L IRS Form 8908, FORTIFIED IBHS submission, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — 2014 Indiana Building Code with 2019 IECC for energy and local Vanderburgh County amendments; IHCDA requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily.
  • 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 — Evansville process + scheduling + code

How quickly can HECS schedule a FORTIFIED evaluation in Evansville?

Most FORTIFIED evaluations in the Evansville 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 Evansville?

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 Evansville insurance carrier rebates apply to at least the Roof designation.

What is the typical FORTIFIED Roof insurance carrier discount for Evansville 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 Indiana rates; HECS can provide the certificate that documents the FORTIFIED status.

Does HECS submit FORTIFIED documentation to IBHS directly in Evansville?

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 Evansville?

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.
