The Advantages of a FORTIFIED™ Inspection by IBHS
Protecting your home from severe weather is essential, and a FORTIFIED™ inspection from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) provides homeowners with important assurance. The FORTIFIED™ program is a widely recognized standard that surpasses conventional building codes, focusing on making homes more resilient to hurricanes, strong winds, hail, and intense storms.
Why Opt for a FORTIFIED™ Inspection?
A FORTIFIED™ inspection evaluates your property based on the strict standards set by IBHS. This detailed assessment identifies weak points in your roof, windows, doors, and overall structure that could make your home vulnerable during extreme weather. The inspection ensures your home meets or exceeds the necessary criteria to receive a FORTIFIED™ designation.
Benefits of a Fortified™ Inspection for homeowners
Stronger storm Protection
Homes built or updated to meet FORTIFIED™ standards have a proven ability to resist storm damage, which helps minimize repair costs and interruptions.
Lower Insurance Costs
Many insurance companies offer notable discounts to homeowners with FORTIFIED™-certified homes, which can add up to significant savings.
Higher Property Value
Having a FORTIFIED™ certification can make your home more appealing to buyers, as it demonstrates enhanced durability and construction quality.
Greater Peace of Mind
Knowing your home is designed to handle severe weather helps you feel more secure, regardless of what the forecast predicts.
