When storms hit homes across the Mid-Atlantic, most roofs are built to code minimum—the bare minimum required to pass inspection. The FORTIFIED™ standard goes far beyond that. Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), FORTIFIED is a nationally recognized roofing and home resilience program designed to help your home stand stronger against high winds, heavy rain, hurricanes, and hail.

A FORTIFIED Roof isn’t just a better roof—it’s a proven system. Every layer is engineered to keep water out, seal vulnerable edges, secure shingles against uplift, and create a continuous barrier that protects your home when extreme weather strikes. It’s not about replacing what you had… it’s about rebuilding it stronger.

For homeowners, this means greater peace of mind, potential insurance savings, and a roof that performs long after the storm has passed. As a certified FORTIFIED contractor, Priddy Roofing & Exteriors follows strict installation standards, third-party verification, and quality checks so you get a roof built the right way—not the easy way.

GAF Metal Certified status is awarded to contractors who have completed specialized training in the installation, design, and performance needs of GAF’s premium metal roofing systems. This certification demonstrates advanced knowledge of metal roof engineering, ventilation requirements, fastening systems, panel alignment, and the unique characteristics that distinguish metal roofing from traditional materials.

For homeowners, working with a GAF Metal Certified contractor means you’re getting a team trained directly by one of the most trusted manufacturers in the industry. Your installation follows strict quality standards to ensure long-lasting durability, energy efficiency, and the superior weather protection metal roofs are known for. It also means your project is eligible for enhanced GAF warranties that are only available when certified professionals perform the installation.

Simply put, GAF Metal Certified reflects a higher level of craftsmanship and ensures your metal roof is built to perform beautifully for decades.

HAAG Certification is one of the most trusted credentials in the roofing and insurance industries. To earn it, roofing professionals undergo rigorous training that covers advanced damage assessment, materials science, inspection techniques, building codes, and the real-world behavior of roofing systems under stress. This training is led by forensic engineers who specialize in understanding exactly how hail, wind, and aging impact different roofing materials.

For homeowners, HAAG Certification means confidence. It means the person inspecting your roof isn’t making guesses—they’re applying proven methodology to determine what’s storm damage, what’s normal wear, and what truly needs attention. HAAG-certified inspectors provide assessments that hold weight with insurance carriers, helping ensure your documentation is accurate, credible, and backed by recognized expertise.

In short, HAAG Certification reflects a higher standard of roofing knowledge. It shows a commitment to precision, professionalism, and doing what’s right for the homeowner every single time.
