Roof MD Achieves Elite Dual Distinction: Certified FORTIFIED™ Installer and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor

NASHVILLE, TN – Roof MD, a premier leader in residential and commercial roofing solutions, is proud to announce its official certification as a FORTIFIED™ Roofer. This prestigious designation, awarded by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), places Roof MD in an elite tier of contractors nationwide capable of installing roofs that meet the most rigorous storm-resilience standards in the industry.

The FORTIFIED™ certification is notoriously difficult to achieve. Unlike standard building codes, the FORTIFIED™ standard requires specialized training and a commitment to meticulous installation techniques—including enhanced roof deck attachments, sealed roof decks to prevent water intrusion, and reinforced edges to combat high-wind uplift. Every installation must pass a rigorous third-party verification process to confirm it can withstand severe weather, from torrential rains to hurricane-force winds.

“Achieving FORTIFIED™ certification is a testament to our team's refusal to settle for 'good enough,'” said Brett Werner, President of Roof MD.

“In an industry where many aim for the bare minimum of local building codes, we’ve chosen to pursue the highest possible standard. Our goal has always been to provide homeowners with a roof that doesn't just look great, but serves as a literal shield for their families and their greatest investments.”

This new certification further cements Roof MD’s status as a top-tier provider, complementing their existing rank as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. This rare "double distinction" is held by only a fraction of roofing companies in the United States. While the Platinum status recognizes excellence in craftsmanship and reliability, the FORTIFIED™ certification validates the structural integrity of the system against nature's most extreme elements.

Benefits for Homeowners:

• Superior Protection: FORTIFIED™ roofs are scientifically proven to reduce damage from high winds and heavy rain.
• Insurance Savings: In many states, homeowners with a certified FORTIFIED™ roof are eligible for significant insurance premium discounts.
• Increased Home Value: A certified resilient roof is a major selling point, often increasing resale value and buyer confidence.
• Unmatched Peace of Mind: Homeowners receive a certificate of compliance from IBHS, verifying the roof was built to the highest safety standards.

Roof MD’s pursuit of excellence comes during a period of unprecedented growth. Over the last three years, the company has successfully expanded its footprint into 12 states, bringing its family-owned touch and commitment to quality to communities across the country.

“Our expansion into 12 states in just three years was driven by a demand for contractors who actually do what they say they’re going to do,” added Werner. “Whether we are in Tennessee or any of our new service areas, our mission remains the same: delivering a roof that is built to last.”
