About the FORTIFIED™ Program

FORTIFIED is a voluntary construction and re-roofing program of the
Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), a nonprofit
research organization supported by the U.S. property-casualty insurance industry. FORTIFIED
is not a generic word for “made stronger”, it is a defined credentialing program
with three designation levels:

  • FORTIFIED Roof™, sealed roof deck, ring-shank nails, upgraded
    roof covering, and verified attachments for high-wind resilience
  • FORTIFIED Silver™, adds window/door impact protection, braced
    gable ends, and reinforced garage doors
  • FORTIFIED Gold™, adds a continuous load path from roof to
    foundation, including reinforced connections

Insurance carriers in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, and Missouri recognize
FORTIFIED designations for premium discounts of up to 55%. HECS is the
IBHS-trained FORTIFIED Home Evaluator serving Jackson County of Missouri and surrounding communities.
