What Is a Fortified Certified Roofer?

A Fortified Certified Roofer is a contractor trained and approved to install roofing systems that meet the strict standards of the FORTIFIED Roofing Program, a nationally recognized system developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). This program is built on years of scientific research and real-world testing to help homes and businesses stand stronger against severe weather.

As a certified Fortified Roofer, Ridgeway Roofing follows proven construction techniques and uses advanced materials that exceed typical roofing requirements. Every Fortified roof we install undergoes a rigorous inspection and verification process to ensure it meets or surpasses IBHS standards for resilience, wind resistance, and long-term performance.

What Is a Fortified Roof System?

A Fortified Roof System is not just another roof. It’s a scientifically designed upgrade that strengthens your home or commercial building from the top down. The system focuses on creating a continuous, sealed, and reinforced barrier that resists damage from high winds, heavy rain, and flying debris. Key features of a Fortified roof include:

• Enhanced roof deck attachment: Stronger fastening systems that keep the roof deck securely in place, even in high winds.
• Sealed roof deck: Specialized underlayment and sealing techniques prevent water from penetrating through the deck if shingles or panels are damaged.
• Improved edge protection: Reinforced edges reduce the risk of wind uplift and shingle loss.
• High-performance materials: Premium roofing products designed for superior durability and weather resistance.

At Ridgeway Roofing, we combine these Fortified construction methods with CertainTeed roofing products, known for their reliability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. The result is a roofing system that not only looks exceptional but also provides long-lasting protection against Georgia’s unpredictable climate.

Luxury Shingles

Luxury shingles are the highest-quality laminated shingles available. Luxury shingles offer a differentiated appearance or functionality that exceeds designer shingles. Apart from offering premium protection for weathering, luxury shingles provide stunning visuals, presenting the highest quality, coloration, and dimensionality. These products offer homeowners the most realistic representation of old-world wood shake and quarried slate roofing.

Designer Shingles

Also known as architectural or dimensional shingles, designer shingles are the most prevalent asphalt shingles installed in North America. They are manufactured with two or more layers of asphalt that are fused together for a thicker and richer multi-dimensional appearance, and are engineered to replicate the aesthetics of wood shake and natural slate roofing. Designer shingles are typically heavier than strip shingles and have improved warranty protection.
