FORTIFIED Re-Roofing

Replacing an old roof? Strengthen the whole roofing system.

A conventional roof replacement often focuses on removing the old shingles or panels and installing a new roof covering. A FORTIFIED roof replacement goes further by addressing the underlying roof deck, fastening, water protection, roof edges, flashing, vents, and roof covering requirements.

That makes roof replacement one of the best times to upgrade an existing home to FORTIFIED standards. Once the old roof covering is removed, the roof deck is exposed and the contractor can correct or strengthen details that will be hidden again when the new roof is complete.

For homeowners in Mobile and Baldwin Counties, those upgrades are especially relevant because wind uplift and wind-driven rain are major concerns during hurricanes and severe Gulf Coast storms.

What Changes in a FORTIFIED Replacement?

More than replacing the visible roof covering.

FORTIFIED re-roofing includes additional steps intended to reduce common points of failure during severe wind and rain.

01

Old Roofing Is Removed

FORTIFIED does not allow a new shingle layer to simply be installed over an existing layer. The existing roof covering is removed so the roof deck can be inspected and upgraded.

02

Roof Deck Is Re-Nailed

If the existing attachment does not already meet the applicable FORTIFIED requirements, the roof deck is re-nailed using specified ring-shank nails and spacing to improve resistance to uplift.

03

Deck Seams Are Sealed

An approved sealed roof-deck method is installed to reduce water intrusion if the finished roof covering is damaged or removed during severe weather.

04

Flashing Is Replaced

FORTIFIED re-roofing requires flashing to be replaced rather than relying on old flashing that may already be worn, damaged, or improperly integrated with the new roof.

05

Roof Edges Are Strengthened

Drip edge, starter strips, and edge attachment receive specific attention because roof edges experience severe pressures when high winds move across the structure.

06

Evaluator Verifies the Work

An independent FORTIFIED evaluator documents key stages and submits required information for review before an official designation can be issued.

When Should You Consider FORTIFIED Replacement?

If the roof already needs to come off, make the new one stronger.

Many homeowners first consider FORTIFIED when a conventional roof has reached the end of its life, has storm damage, or needs replacement for insurance or maintenance reasons.

Aging Roof If your existing roof is near the end of its service life, replacement creates an opportunity to upgrade the roof deck, edges, flashing, and water protection at the same time.
Storm-Damaged Roof If wind or hail damage leads to full replacement, ask whether your insurance policy includes a FORTIFIED endorsement or additional coverage for upgrading the replacement.
Recurring Leak Problems Repeated leaks may indicate broader roofing issues. A full replacement allows the deck, flashing, penetrations, and underlayment to be evaluated together.
Insurance Concerns Some Alabama homeowners pursue FORTIFIED designation because of potential wind-mitigation credits or insurer requirements related to roof condition and age.
Home Improvement Planning Homeowners planning to stay in the property may prefer to invest in added resilience rather than replacing the roof to minimum standards.
Strengthen Alabama Homes Eligible Alabama homeowners may be able to use grant funding toward qualifying FORTIFIED retrofits, subject to program requirements and available funding.
Insurance & FORTIFIED Roof Replacement

A stronger replacement roof may have financial benefits too.

In Alabama, qualifying FORTIFIED designations may be eligible for wind-mitigation insurance discounts. Some insurers also offer FORTIFIED endorsements that may provide additional funds toward upgrading a roof to the FORTIFIED standard after a covered loss.

If your roof replacement is connected to an insurance claim, tell your adjuster and insurance agent early that you are interested in a FORTIFIED replacement. The required scope, documentation, evaluator involvement, and any available endorsement benefits should be understood before work begins.

Pro Roofing Solutions can complete the roofing work to the applicable FORTIFIED requirements while the independent evaluator handles the verification process.

Will a FORTIFIED replacement lower my insurance premium?

It may. Insurance discounts vary by carrier, policy, designation, roof age, location, and other underwriting factors.

Alabama has a mature FORTIFIED market, but homeowners should confirm actual savings directly with their insurance agent before relying on a specific percentage.

Important: Pro Roofing Solutions does not set insurance premiums and cannot guarantee a specific discount. An active FORTIFIED designation is generally required for applicable FORTIFIED insurance benefits.
Re-roofing done with a plan. FORTIFIED replacement requires coordination before, during, and after the old roof is removed.
Our FORTIFIED Replacement Process

From tear-off to final designation.

A successful FORTIFIED roof replacement starts before the first shingle is removed. The contractor and evaluator need to know what details must be visible and documented at each stage.

1

Inspect the Existing Roof

We evaluate the roof condition, discuss replacement options, and identify whether FORTIFIED is appropriate for the project.

2

Coordinate the Evaluator

A certified evaluator is engaged so required stages can be inspected and documented during the roofing work.

3

Remove the Existing Roofing

The old roof covering and underlayment are removed to expose the roof deck for inspection and required upgrades.

4

Upgrade the Roof Deck

Deck attachment, damaged decking, sealed roof-deck details, flashing, edge protection, and other FORTIFIED items are completed as required.

5

Install the New Roof Covering

Qualifying shingles, metal roofing, or another compliant roof covering is installed according to the applicable requirements.

6

Complete FORTIFIED Documentation

The evaluator submits required documentation for review so the homeowner can pursue the official FORTIFIED designation.

FORTIFIED Roof Replacement FAQ

Questions about replacing an existing roof to FORTIFIED standards.

These are some of the most common questions homeowners ask when they are considering a FORTIFIED replacement in Mobile or Baldwin County.

What is a FORTIFIED roof replacement?

A FORTIFIED roof replacement is a re-roofing project completed to FORTIFIED standards. The existing roof covering is removed, the roof deck is inspected and strengthened as needed, an approved sealed roof-deck system is installed, and qualifying roof covering, flashing, vents, and edge details are used.

Can FORTIFIED shingles be installed over my existing shingles?

No. FORTIFIED re-roofing requires the existing shingle roof covering to be removed rather than installing a second layer over the old roof. The deck must be accessible for inspection, attachment upgrades, and sealed roof-deck work.

Does the roof deck have to be re-nailed?

If the existing deck attachment does not already meet the applicable FORTIFIED requirements, additional fastening is required using the specified ring-shank nails and nailing pattern.

Does all flashing have to be replaced?

FORTIFIED re-roofing requires flashing to be replaced as part of the roof replacement rather than leaving old flashing in place.

Can a FORTIFIED roof replacement lower my insurance premium?

A qualifying FORTIFIED designation may be eligible for wind-mitigation insurance discounts in Alabama. Actual savings vary by insurer, policy, designation, roof age, and other underwriting factors.

What if my roof replacement is part of an insurance claim?

Tell your insurance adjuster and agent that you are interested in FORTIFIED before the replacement begins. Some policies or endorsements may provide additional funds toward qualifying FORTIFIED upgrades after a covered loss.

Who issues the FORTIFIED designation?

The roofing contractor performs the work, but an independent FORTIFIED evaluator documents key construction details. IBHS reviews the required documentation before the official designation is issued.

Can I replace my roof with metal and still qualify for FORTIFIED?

Yes. Metal roofing can qualify when the system meets the applicable product testing, design pressure, attachment, and installation requirements for the project.

Where does Pro Roofing Solutions provide FORTIFIED roof replacement?

Pro Roofing Solutions serves homeowners throughout Mobile County and Baldwin County, including Mobile, West Mobile, Semmes, Saraland, Theodore, Grand Bay, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Fairhope, Robertsdale, Loxley, Foley, Bay Minette, and surrounding Alabama Gulf Coast communities.
