A Stronger Kentucky Starts at the Roofline.
Your roof should do more than just cover your home — it should protect everything inside it.
Here in Kentucky, protecting your home means staying prepared for everything from high winds to seasonal storms. Safeguarding it should be a proactive, empowering choice that ensures your home is ready for whatever comes.
The Cost of a Standard Roof
Most roofs are built to meet standard building requirements. While these meet basic safety mandates, a standard roof can often lead to unexpected long-term costs that go beyond the initial installation.
- Rising Insurance Costs: Standard roofs often face steep premium hikes after just one weather-related claim.
- Deductible Gap: High percentage-based deductibles can leave you paying thousands out of pocket before coverage starts.
- Compounding Structural Damage: Small, hidden leaks often trigger expensive mold and rot that standard inspections miss.
We want to help you avoid these common pitfalls.
The IBHS FORTIFIED™ Difference
FORTIFIED™ roofing specializes in a three-part reinforcement method that makes your roof much more secure than a standard build:
- Better Nails: Our ring-shank nails lock tight, keeping your home twice as secure.
- Sealed Protection: We add a high-performance barrier under your shingles. This keeps your attic bone-dry, even if a storm manages to peel back the outer layer of your roof.
- Reinforced Edges: We use specific metal strips and extra fasteners at the roof’s edges to stop high winds from getting underneath and lifting your roof off.
Strengthen Kentucky Homes (SKH)
The Strengthen Kentucky Homes program makes these vital safety upgrades accessible. If you own a primary, single-family residence in good repair, you may qualify for state-funded support to upgrade your roof.
