Withstand Louisiana Hurricane Season With a FORTIFIED Roof
Louisiana homeowners know the true test of a roof is not just its design but also its ability to endure hurricane season. At Cornerstone Construction, we recommend a FORTIFIED Roof—an engineered system designed to enhance durability and withstand extreme weather. Call us at (225) 978-3665 or email us to upgrade your roof with materials and expert construction that can withstand hurricane-force winds.

Enhanced Connections for Unmatched Durability
The foundation of a FORTIFIED Roof is its robust connections. Traditional roofing techniques may meet standard requirements, but they fall short under hurricane conditions. A FORTIFIED Roof utilizes more—and stronger—nails in a strategic pattern, ensuring your roof stays intact even during the fiercest storms.
Sealed Seams to Keep Water Out
Even the most durable shingles can succumb to violent winds. That's where sealed seams come into play. By sealing the gaps between the roof decking, a FORTIFIED Roof prevents water from entering your home, safeguarding your interiors from costly water damage.
Reinforced Edges to Combat Wind Damage
Our experience at Cornerstone Construction has shown that roof edges are particularly vulnerable to wind uplift. The FORTIFIED system addresses this with materials and techniques specifically designed to secure roof edges firmly, reducing the risk of damage.
Insurance Benefits and Financial Incentives
Choosing a FORTIFIED Roof protects your home and your wallet. Many insurance companies recognize the enhanced durability of FORTIFIED roofs, offering substantial discounts on premiums (ranging from 15 to 52.5% discount). Moreover, the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program provides grants of up to $10,000, encouraging homeowners to upgrade to this robust roofing system.
Invest in Your Home’s Longevity
The choice to upgrade to a FORTIFIED Roof is a choice to invest in your home’s future. With benefits ranging from enhanced protection against the elements to financial incentives through insurance discounts and grants, the value of upgrading cannot be overstated.
