When a storm strikes, your roof is your first line of defense. But not all roofs are created equal. That’s why fortified roofing is quickly becoming a must-have for homeowners in coastal regions like the Delmarva Peninsula. At Spicer Bros. Construction, we’re proud to be the only certified provider of fortified roofs in the region, helping homeowners protect what matters most with confidence and peace of mind.
What Is a Fortified Roof?
A fortified roof is a high-performance roofing system engineered to withstand extreme weather, including hurricanes, high winds, and heavy rain. Certified by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) and recognized by FEMA and most insurance companies, fortified roofs are built to higher standards than traditional roofing systems.
This innovative system uses stronger materials, enhanced installation methods, and improved sealing techniques to minimize water intrusion and wind damage.
Why It Matters on the Delmarva Peninsula
Our coastal community faces unique weather risks. With hurricanes and high-wind storms becoming more frequent, traditional roofing may not be enough. Fortified roofs offer:
- Enhanced wind resistance up to 130 mph or more
- Better protection against wind-driven rain
- Long-term durability with fewer repairs
- Potential insurance discounts
At Spicer Bros., we’ve seen firsthand how homes with fortified roofs perform better in severe storms, and how that performance leads to real savings and less stress for homeowners.
Spicer Bros: Certified and Committed
Achieving fortified roof certification wasn’t easy. Our team underwent months of rigorous training, documentation, and evaluation. But it was worth it, because now, we’re able to offer our customers a premium roofing solution backed by nationally recognized standards.
And here’s the thing: many of the best practices required by fortified roofing are ones we were already doing. That’s because we believe in building roofs the right way, every time.
“We’re already doing most of the things required by this program. Certification just puts a seal on our commitment to quality.”
— Mike Price, General Manager at Spicer Bros. Construction
