FORTIFIED Roof Evaluations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge sits further inland than our coastal service areas, which changes the risk profile without eliminating it — the capital region is still exposed to hurricane wind and rain as storms track inland, and the severe August 2016 flooding event underscored how significant heavy rainfall alone can be here, independent of direct hurricane landfall.

What that means for FORTIFIED evaluation here:

• Heavy, sustained rainfall — not just wind — is something we pay close attention to during a Baton Rouge evaluation, particularly flashing, drainage, and attic ventilation.
• Being further from the coast doesn't reduce the value of FORTIFIED certification — inland wind events still cause significant roof damage, and the insurance discount applies regardless of your parish's coastal proximity.
• We evaluate both residential and commercial FORTIFIED projects in the Baton Rouge area, working independently of whichever contractor performs the retrofit.

We provide independent FORTIFIED roof evaluation and certification services throughout Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish.
