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 Fort Wayne insurance carrier rebates apply to at least the Roof designation.
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.
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.
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.
