What Is a Fortified Roof? Spicer Bros. Explains How It Protects Delmarva Homes

Living on Delmarva means dealing with nor'easters, hurricane remnants, and the kind of wind and rain that can put any roof to the test. In this Delmarva Life segment, James McDonald sits down with Dustin Maddox of Spicer Brothers Construction to explain what a fortified roof is and why more homeowners are choosing one. A fortified roof is installed above code standards set by the Insurance Institute for Building and Home Safety, with a re-nailed roof deck, sealed plywood, reinforced edges and valleys, and specialized underlayments — all designed to keep wind out and prevent water intrusion during severe storms. You'll also learn about potential insurance credits, long-term savings, and resale value, plus why installation requires specialized training and certification. Spicer Brothers Construction is the only certified provider of fortified roofs in the region. Visit our website to learn more and request your free estimate today. https://www.spicerbros.com/roofing/
