Fortify your roof through this new program
A grant program aimed at improving the quality of roof construction in Louisiana could begin accepting applications in October, creating an avenue for homeowners to get modest discounts on their property insurance.
Fortified Roof
The program will allow homeowners to receive as much as $10,000 to retrofit their roofs to the Fortified standard, which will make their homes stronger in the face of future hurricanes. That means the money set aside by the Legislature could provide grants to at least 3,000 homeowners.
Created by the industry-backed Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, the more robust standard is designed to keep the roof on a house and thus diminish the likelihood of a large insurance claim.
Certified builders install the roofs; the quality of their work is verified by a third party. At the end of the process, homeowners receive a certificate that insurers accept in exchange for a discount.
