FORTIFIED Roof™ Systems
Superior Protection for Biloxi Homes
Integrity Roofing is proud to offer FORTIFIED Roof™ systems – the gold standard in resilient roofing designed to withstand the severe weather challenges we face here in Biloxi, MS. When hurricanes, high winds, and severe thunderstorms threaten our community, a FORTIFIED Roof provides superior protection that prevents catastrophic damage to your most valuable investment.
What is a FORTIFIED Roof™ System?
FORTIFIED Roof™ is a nationally recognized construction standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) specifically designed to strengthen homes against severe weather. This building method goes beyond traditional building codes to create a roofing system that provides superior protection against hurricanes, high winds, hailstorms, and severe thunderstorms common to our Gulf Coast region.
At Integrity Roofing, we’ve incorporated these advanced construction techniques into our roofing services to offer Biloxi homeowners the ultimate protection for their homes. Just as our name promises, we deliver this premium service with the same honesty, transparency, and quality craftsmanship that defines all our work.
The Critical Components of FORTIFIED Roof™ Protection
A FORTIFIED Roof™ system incorporates several key elements that work together to create a comprehensive defense against severe weather. Each component addresses specific vulnerabilities that traditional roofing methods often leave exposed.
Stronger Roof Edges
Roof damage typically begins at the edges, where wind can get underneath and begin ripping materials away from your home. Our FORTIFIED installation includes:
Wider, specially-designed drip edges
Fully adhered starter strips
Enhanced installation methods that create a stronger edge system resistant to wind infiltration2
These specialized techniques prevent the initial damage that often leads to catastrophic roof failure during hurricanes and tropical storms common to Biloxi.
Sealed Roof Deck
When severe weather strikes, standard roofing materials like shingles or tiles may be damaged, exposing the wood deck beneath. Without proper sealing, water can pour through the gaps and into your home. Our FORTIFIED roof installations include a thoroughly sealed roof deck that:
Reduces water intrusion by up to 95% even if exterior roofing materials are damaged
Prevents the equivalent of up to nine bathtubs of water from entering your home for every inch of rain2
Creates a critical secondary water barrier that protects your interior even in the most severe conditions
As experienced Biloxi roofers, we’ve seen firsthand how this feature alone can save homeowners thousands in interior damage during severe storms.
Enhanced Roof Deck Attachment
Standard roofing uses common smooth nails in traditional patterns, which can fail during high winds. Our FORTIFIED installations feature:
8D ring-shank nails instead of standard smooth nails
Decreased spacing between nails in an enhanced pattern
Up to doubled wind uplift resistance compared to traditional methods2
These seemingly small improvements make a dramatic difference in how your roof performs when facing hurricane-force winds, keeping the structure intact when your neighbors may be facing catastrophic damage.
