When hurricane season looms on the Gulf Coast, your roof is your home’s first line of defense. At Perdomo Roofing & Sheet Metal™, we’ve seen firsthand how proper preparation can make the difference between minor repairs and catastrophic loss. As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, award-winning FORTIFIED™ roofer, and voted the #1 roofing company in New Orleans, we’re proud to offer proven solutions to protect what matters most—your home and your family.
Here’s how you can FORTIFY™ your roof and ensure you’re ready before the next storm rolls in.
What Is a FORTIFIED™ Roof?
The FORTIFIED™ Roof program, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), goes beyond traditional building codes to protect against hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, and flying debris. This nationally recognized standard helps roofs withstand extreme weather by focusing on critical areas that are often weak points in a storm.
As a certified FORTIFIED™ roofer, Perdomo Roofing & Sheet Metal™ follows strict installation protocols that have been proven to reduce storm damage and lower insurance premiums for homeowners.
Why Fortifying Your Roof Matters in New Orleans
In Southeast Louisiana, hurricanes aren’t a possibility—they’re a certainty. High winds, driving rain, and intense pressure changes can devastate a poorly constructed or aging roof. Taking steps now to upgrade your roofing system can save you thousands in repair costs and give you peace of mind when the next storm takes aim at the coast.
5 Ways to Fortify Your Roof Before Hurricane Season
1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Early detection of damage or weaknesses can prevent future disasters. Our certified inspectors look for lifted shingles, rusted flashing, deteriorated sealants, and other vulnerabilities that could fail in high winds.
2. Upgrade to a FORTIFIED™ Roof System
If your roof is due for replacement, consider investing in a FORTIFIED™ Roof. We install storm-resistant materials and reinforce your roof deck to provide unmatched durability. Plus, many insurers offer discounts for homes with certified FORTIFIED™ systems.
3. Secure the Roof Deck
One of the most common failure points during a hurricane is the roof deck. We use ring-shank nails and advanced sealing techniques to ensure your roof deck stays attached and water doesn’t seep in, even if shingles are damaged.
4. Install Storm-Resistant Shingles
Not all shingles are created equally. As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, we offer high-performance shingles that are rated to withstand winds of up to 130+ mph, giving your home superior protection.
5. Reinforce Roof-to-Wall Connections
Proper anchoring prevents your roof from lifting off in extreme wind. Our FORTIFIED™ upgrades include metal connectors that strengthen the connection between your roof and walls, reducing the risk of major structural damage.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
The time to fortify your roof is before a storm is in the forecast. With hurricane season starting June 1st, now is the perfect time to schedule your free inspection and get on our calendar.
