When the next hurricane comes, your roof either holds — or it costs you your home. Legacy Fortified Roofing installs IBHS FORTIFIED™ roof systems engineered to survive what the Gulf throws at us. Backed by the Legacy Construction name and 20+ years of Louisiana craftsmanship.
FORTIFIED roof installations, insurance-loss reroofs, storm damage repair, and premium asphalt/metal systems for homeowners across Louisiana and Mississippi. Every install eligible for insurance discount documentation.
TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and FORTIFIED commercial systems for retail, industrial, hospitality, and multi-family properties. Full lifecycle service contracts and 24/7 emergency response.
Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), FORTIFIED is the only roofing standard engineered specifically to survive hurricanes, hail, and high winds — and the only one insurers reward with premium discounts.
Enhanced roof deck attachment, sealed roof deck, impact-rated shingles, and locked-down edges. Stops rain from destroying your home when shingles fail. Qualifies for LA insurance discounts.
Everything in FORTIFIED Roof plus reinforced gable ends, chimney bracing, and locked-down soffits and attic vents. Whole-envelope hardening.
Silver + continuous load path from roof to foundation. The strongest residential roofing standard in the country. Maximum insurance benefits and hurricane resilience.
Louisiana's Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) is administered by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. It's a lottery-based grant of up to $10,000 toward a FORTIFIED roof upgrade. Selection is random — no contractor can guarantee it. We can guarantee we'll be ready when you're selected.

Registration rounds open unpredictably. Email notification is the only reliable signal.

LDI notifies selected applicants within 2-4 weeks. If not selected, register again next round.

Required by LDI. This is where we come in. Submit our bid + 2 others to LFHP.
⚠ Starting work before written acceptance auto-disqualifies you. This is the #1 way homeowners lose the grant.
Sealed roof deck, ring-shank fasteners, wind-rated coverings. Evaluator returns to verify and submits documentation to IBHS.
LFHP pays us directly. You receive the FORTIFIED certificate — send it to your insurance agent for the mandatory Act 533 discount.
Louisiana law requires all admitted insurers to offer actuarially justified premium discounts on FORTIFIED-designated homes. The discount applies to the hurricane portion of your policy — the largest chunk of most Gulf Coast premiums.
