Our own John Costello walked through his experience getting a FORTIFIED Roof and what the process actually looks like from a homeowner’s perspective. (Spoiler: it’s worth it.)
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program offers up to $10,000 in grant funding to upgrade your roof to hurricane-resistant standards, plus huge discounts on your homeowners insurance premium when it’s done.
