Why Connecticut Homeowners Should Care About FORTIFIED Roofs—And How Turner Leads the Way
Severe weather is on the rise in Connecticut, with stronger windstorms and more frequent hail events becoming the new normal. For homeowners looking to protect their investment, a FORTIFIED Roof™ is one of the best defenses—and Turner Home Improvement Contractors is leading the charge.
What is a FORTIFIED Roof?
Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the FORTIFIED program sets construction standards that help roofs withstand extreme weather. A FORTIFIED Roof includes:
-
Stronger roof deck attachments

Reinforced roof edges

Impact-resistant shingles
These elements help reduce storm-related damage and increase a home’s resilience.
