First Fortified Roof in Marietta, GA

A Milestone for Marietta Homeowners

At Georgia Roof Advisors, we’re thrilled to announce a significant achievement: the installation of Marietta’s first-ever Fortified Roof in Marietta. This milestone not only underscores our commitment to excellence but also sets a new standard for roofing in our community.

What Is a Fortified Roof in Marietta?

A Fortified Roof is more than just a roofing system; it's a comprehensive approach to safeguarding homes against severe weather. Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the Fortified Roof™ designation involves:

• Trademarked FORTIFIED™ methods for every upgrade.
• Double the building code requirements for nails in the roof deck, providing stronger resistance.
• Taping of roof deck seams to reduce water intrusion during severe weather.
• Nailing underlayment in a reinforced pattern to help prevent it from blowing off in catastrophic events such as hurricanes or tornadoes.
• Caution with impact-resistant products: while many are rated to withstand up to 2-inch (golf ball–sized) hail, larger hailstones or airborne debris from tornadoes can still cause significant damage. These materials improve resilience but do not make a roof completely impervious to hazards.

These standards go beyond typical building codes, providing an added layer of protection against high winds, hailstorms, and other severe weather events. A Fortified Roof ensures your home is prepared for whatever nature throws its way.

The Project: From Sunrise to Sunset

On a crisp morning in September, our team began the transformation of a charming Marietta home. By 7:00 AM, we were on-site, ready to replace the aging roof with a Fortified Roof in Marietta. The day was long, but by 8:00 PM, the project was complete.

Materials Used:

• GAF Timberline HDZ Charcoal Shingles: Known for their durability and aesthetic appeal.
• Ultimate Pipe Flashing: Offering a lifetime tool warranty for superior performance.
• Seal-A-Ridge Charcoal: Ensuring a seamless and secure ridge cap.
