Why FORTIFIED Matters in Louisiana
In Southeast Louisiana, storms aren’t just seasonal—they’re expected. Between high winds, heavy rain, and hurricane threats, your roof takes a beating year after year. That’s why Olympian Roof proudly installs FORTIFIED Roofs, a nationally recognized roofing system designed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) to deliver unmatched protection and long-term peace of mind.
What Is a FORTIFIED Roof?
A FORTIFIED Roof isn’t just another upgrade—it’s a comprehensive roofing system built to perform far beyond standard roofing requirements. Every FORTIFIED Roof installation includes enhanced design and materials such as:
Sealed roof decks to prevent water intrusion if shingles are lost.
Reinforced edges and flashing to resist wind uplift and storm-driven rain.
Stronger nailing patterns and high-quality fasteners to secure shingles in extreme conditions.
Installation that meets or exceeds 2021 IRC High-Wind Specifications.
These critical improvements reduce the risk of roof failure during hurricanes or severe weather, giving your home a better chance to withstand the elements—and bounce back faster after a storm.
The Benefits of a FORTIFIED Roof
A FORTIFIED Roof isn’t just about protection—it’s about value and peace of mind:
💪 Stronger protection against hurricanes, high winds, and hail.
💰 Potential insurance discounts for FORTIFIED-certified homes.
🌎 Improved energy efficiency with upgraded materials and sealed systems.
🏡 Increased resale value for buyers seeking long-term durability and safety.

premium materials like Atlas Pinnacle® shingles, synthetic underlayment, and stainless steel fasteners.
