IBHS has established building methods to protect your home and personal property from high winds and wind driven rain.
Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements. Fortified roof construction is based on more than 20 years of scientific and real-world research for proper structural engineering and building by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). Visit their link below beside the FORTIFIED logo.
Intracoastal Roofing has been a Certified IBHS Fortified Wise Roofing Contractor since the commencement of these building methods in North Carolina several years ago. We are a proud partner with our State Wind Pool organization NCJUA/NCIUA and StrenghtenYourRoof.com. We have built hundreds of Fortified Roofs along the NC coast.
NCJUA/NCIUA has two programs for assisting homeowners to build Fortified Roofs, one through an insurance claim and another through the StrenghtenYourRoof.com Grant Program. Both programs achieve the same result - a new roof with Fortified Retro-fit and financial assistance to the owner in the amount of up to $6,000. Upon completion of the new roof, the IBHS certifies the build for five years and there is insurance premium savings for the owner.
Coastal North Carolina is now rated as a 150 mph Wind Zone area. A Fortified Roof is a roof replacement which includes components to ensure that the roof is properly attached to the structural framing, sealed to avoid water intrusion in the event of roof blow-off and the use of stainless steel nails properly spaced to wind engineering requirements. A Fortified Roof will provide peace of mind, and the NCJUA/NCIUA programs allow for financial assistance to build your roof to the highest quality.

If you believe you have roof damage, then you may need to file an insurance claim. If you don't have damage, but are in need of a new roof, then the NC Grant Program may be the best option. We can discuss your options and talk you through the steps of both programs.
