Why Memphis property owners choose HECS for FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Tennessee 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 — Memphis projects reference the 2018 International Building Code with Tennessee amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC; Shelby County enforces local energy overlays. THDA requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily in Shelby County.
  • 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 — Memphis process + scheduling + code

How quickly can HECS schedule a FORTIFIED evaluation in Memphis?

Most FORTIFIED evaluations in the Memphis 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 Memphis?

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

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

Does HECS submit FORTIFIED documentation to IBHS directly in Memphis?

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 Memphis?

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.
