    FORTIFIED Roofs

    Baton Rouge's FORTIFIED Roof Installer

    A FORTIFIED roof is built to a stronger wind standard from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety: a sealed roof deck, stronger deck attachment and upgraded edges. It’s the best protection you can put on a South Louisiana home, and the state now helps pay for it. Reliable Roofing is an approved FORTIFIED installer, and we handle the paperwork from inspection to certificate.

    Up to $10,000 Back

    Louisiana's FORTIFIED Roof Tax Credit, or a Fortify Homes grant in eligible parishes, can cover up to $10,000.

    A Required Insurance Discount

    Louisiana insurers must now discount the hurricane portion of your premium once your home is FORTIFIED.

    A Roof Built as a Complete System

    The shingles are only the part you see. A roof that survives South Louisiana heat,
    humidity and hurricane season depends on what's underneath.

    Solid Decking

    Rotted boards replaced during every tear-off.

    Sealed Flashing

    Walls, valleys and chimneys, where most leaks start.
