Fortified Roof Systems

Stronger Roofing Systems Built for Severe Weather
Oklahoma homes are regularly exposed to high winds, hail, heavy rain, and rapidly changing weather conditions. Standard roofing systems are built to meet basic code requirements, but they are not always designed for long-term storm resistance.
A Fortified Roof System is a higher standard of roofing designed to improve how a roof performs during severe weather events by strengthening key areas of the roofing system.
Infinity Roofing and Construction is a certified FORTIFIED Roofing Contractor trained to install required FORTIFIED Roof upgrades. A separate FORTIFIED Evaluator documents the work and submits it to IBHS for review before a designation is issued.
What Is a Fortified Roof System?
A Fortified Roof System is a roofing standard developed to improve a home’s resistance to wind and water damage. It focuses on reinforcing the most vulnerable parts of a roof, including the roof deck, edges, and sealing points.
Instead of only upgrading roofing materials, Fortified systems improve the way the entire roof structure is assembled and sealed.
This includes stronger fastening methods, sealed roof decking, and improved protection against wind-driven rain during severe storms.
Benefits of a Fortified Roof System
Fortified Roof Systems are designed to provide stronger, more reliable protection for homes in storm-prone areas.
Key benefits include:
- Improved resistance to wind damage
- Better protection against wind-driven rain
- Stronger roof deck attachment
- Reduced risk of water intrusion during storms
- Improved performance if shingles are damaged or displaced
- Potential eligibility for insurance incentives or grant programs (when available)
These systems are especially valuable in areas like Oklahoma where severe weather is a regular occurrence.
Why Certification Matters
Not every roofing contractor is trained or certified to install Fortified Roof Systems. Proper installation requires specific training and adherence to detailed standards that go beyond standard roofing practices.
Infinity Roofing and Construction has completed Fortified training and installs these systems according to program requirements to ensure the roofing system is built correctly and performs as intended.
This certification gives homeowners confidence that their roof is being installed to a higher standard, not just a standard roofing code.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fortified Roof Systems
What makes a Fortified Roof System different from a standard roof?
A Fortified Roof System strengthens key areas of the roof, including the roof deck and sealing points, to improve resistance against wind and water intrusion during severe weather.
Do Fortified Roof Systems cost more?
Yes, they can cost more than standard roofing systems because they require additional materials and installation steps. However, they are designed to improve long-term durability and storm performance.
Can a Fortified Roof System help with insurance?
In some cases, homeowners may qualify for insurance incentives or grant programs depending on eligibility and location. Availability varies and can change over time.
How long does a Fortified Roof System last?
The lifespan depends on the roofing materials used, but the system is designed to improve overall durability and performance compared to standard installations.
Can my existing roof be upgraded to a Fortified system?
Fortified upgrades are typically completed during a roof replacement rather than added to an existing roof, since they involve structural components of the roofing system.
