Offered through FORTIFIED Wise University, the FORTIFIED Roofing Certification is a program of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. To get certified, a roofer must successfully complete the training course, which ensures they’re knowledgeable about all FORTIFIED standards and guidelines and committed to adhering to them. These standards help roofs withstand severe weather, such as high winds. 

A roof built to meet these exceptional standards gives homeowners confidence in its quality and provides peace of mind that it’s been thoroughly checked for safety and durability. This can be particularly crucial in areas that experience severe weather throughout the year. Three FORTIFIED solutions are available: FORTIFIED Roof, FORTIFIED Silver, and FORTIFIED Gold.
