Roof Plus is Your Trusted Roofing Contractor in Brick & Point Pleasant, NJ

A FORTIFIED Roof isn’t a specific product or shingle line. It’s a complete roofing system built to a stricter installation standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), an independent nonprofit research organization supported by property insurers. The standard focuses on the parts of a roof that typically fail first in high winds and severe weather, then specifies the materials and installation methods that significantly improve performance against those failure modes.

Roof Plus is one of the few contractors in Ocean and Monmouth counties qualified to install FORTIFIED Roof systems using GAF products, thanks to our GAF Master Elite® designation, a status held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors in North America. Combined with our four generations of family roofing experience along the Jersey Shore, we bring the kind of disciplined installation approach the FORTIFIED standard requires.

What Makes a FORTIFIED Roof Different

A FORTIFIED roof system goes well beyond standard installation in five specific areas, each designed to address common failure points during severe weather events.

Reinforced roof edges: Enhanced edge protection helps reduce the chance of shingles lifting or separating during strong coastal winds.
Water-resistant roof deck protection: Specialized sealing methods help limit water intrusion if severe weather damages the outer roofing materials.
Improved structural fastening: Advanced fastening patterns and stronger nails help secure the roof deck more effectively during high-wind events.
Storm-tested roof ventilation: Ventilation components are selected to meet strict wind-resistance testing standards for severe weather performance.
Optional impact-resistant roofing upgrades: Homeowners can choose upgraded shingle options designed to offer additional protection against hail and storm debris.

Our FORTIFIED Roof Installation Process in Brick & Point Pleasant, NJ

Every FORTIFIED roof project begins with a detailed consultation focused on your current roof condition, storm protection concerns, and goals for long-term durability. Our team performs a full inspection of the existing roofing system, roof deck, and structural components before recommending the materials and installation methods required to meet FORTIFIED standards. Homeowners receive straightforward pricing, financing options if needed, and clear guidance on the products and upgrades involved in the installation process.

Once work begins, the existing roof is removed and the new roofing system is installed using enhanced fastening methods, sealed roof deck protection, reinforced edge details, and other requirements outlined by the FORTIFIED program. After installation, an independent Certified FORTIFIED Evaluator inspects the completed roof to verify compliance with IBHS standards. Once approved, the home receives an official 5-year FORTIFIED Roof designation that may qualify for insurance-related benefits depending on the carrier.

GAF Materials We Use in FORTIFIED Installations

As a GAF Master Elite® Contractor, we install FORTIFIED roof systems using the GAF product lineup specifically designed to meet FORTIFIED requirements:

Leak barriers: Self-sealing protective barriers installed beneath roofing materials to help prevent water intrusion from wind-driven rain and severe weather.
Peel-and-stick starter strip: Reinforced starter materials designed to improve shingle adhesion and reduce the risk of wind-related roof damage.
Sealed roof deck: High-performance roof deck protection systems that help create an added moisture barrier beneath the shingles.
Roof deck seam tape: Protective sealing tape applied along roof deck seams and joints to help reduce water penetration.
FORTIFIED-rated shingles: Impact-resistant roofing shingles engineered to meet elevated wind and weather performance standards.
Ridge cap shingles: Specialized ridge materials designed to strengthen roof peak protection and improve resistance against strong winds.
Tested ventilation systems: Attic ventilation products designed to support airflow while meeting enhanced storm-resistance standards.

Benefits of Choosing a FORTIFIED Roof

The FORTIFIED designation delivers benefits that extend well beyond storm protection.

Severe weather resilience: A roof system built to actually perform when nor’easters, tropical systems, and high-wind events hit the Jersey Shore.
Reduced leak risk: The sealed roof deck requirement means even if shingles get torn off during a major event, water is far less likely to reach the interior of your home.
Potential insurance discounts: Many insurance carriers offer premium discounts on homes with a FORTIFIED designation, since the data shows these roofs perform measurably better in severe weather. Discounts vary by carrier and state, so check with your insurer for specific eligibility.
Stronger GAF warranty options: When a FORTIFIED Roof is installed by a GAF Master Elite® Contractor like Roof Plus, you’re eligible for GAF’s Golden Pledge® or President’s Club Limited Warranty, plus the additional benefits provided by the FORTIFIED Addendum to those warranties.
5-year IBHS designation: Your home receives a 5-year FORTIFIED Roof designation from IBHS, with redesignation available through reinspection after that period.

Financing Options for Your FORTIFIED Roof

A FORTIFIED roof installation is an investment in your home’s long-term resilience, and the up-front cost can be challenging to absorb out of pocket. Roof Plus offers financing options through Service Finance to make a FORTIFIED roof installation more manageable, with flexible monthly payment plans designed to fit a range of budgets.

Combined with potential insurance discounts on your homeowner’s policy, the long-term math on a FORTIFIED roof often works out better than homeowners expect. Our team will walk through your financing options and any available insurance incentives during the in-home consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About FORTIFIED Roofs

Why choose a FORTIFIED Roof?

A FORTIFIED Roof is built to help protect against severe weather like nor’easters, hurricanes, and high winds that regularly impact the Jersey Shore. Many insurance carriers also offer premium discounts on homes with the FORTIFIED designation, though discounts vary by carrier and state.

How long does the FORTIFIED Roof designation last?

The initial FORTIFIED designation lasts five years from the date of issuance. After that period, a redesignation inspection is required to maintain the designation.

Can a FORTIFIED Roof help protect against leaks?

Yes. The FORTIFIED standard requires the roof deck to be sealed in a specific manner that significantly reduces the risk of water passing through if wind manages to remove the roof covering, a major leak prevention upgrade compared to standard installations.

Do I need to use a specific contractor to get a FORTIFIED Roof?

Yes. A FORTIFIED Roof must be installed by a FORTIFIED-certified roofing contractor using approved materials and installation methods, then independently verified by a Certified FORTIFIED Evaluator before IBHS will award the designation. As a GAF Master Elite® Contractor, Roof Plus has the training and certification to handle FORTIFIED installations across Brick, Point Pleasant, and the surrounding region.

Can a FORTIFIED roof help lower insurance costs?

Some insurance carriers offer discounts or incentives for homes with a verified FORTIFIED Roof designation because the system is designed to improve resistance against severe storm damage.
