Temple Roofing is the ONLY roofing company in the Hot Springs area with FORTIFIED certification!
Investing in a FORTIFIED roof is one of the most effective ways to lower your long-term homeownership costs.
Because these systems are scientifically proven to withstand severe weather, many insurance providers in Arkansas offer significant premium credits to homeowners with this designation.
By reducing the risk of a total loss during a storm, you move from a standard policy to a preferred risk category. This transition allows you to keep more money in your pocket every month while increasing the overall resale value of your property.
A roof is only as strong as its attachment to the home!
During a FORTIFIED installation, we utilize high-strength ring-shank nails instead of standard smooth-shank fasteners. We also implement an enhanced nailing pattern that significantly increases the number of connection points between the shingles and the decking. This specific spacing has been tested and proven to provide superior holding power: ensuring your roof stays firmly attached to your house even when facing the extreme uplift forces of a severe windstorm.
Even the highest quality shingles can be damaged or stripped away by extreme gusts.
To prevent a bad situation from becoming a disaster, we install a sealed roof deck system as a secondary line of defense.
By sealing every gap and joint between your roof’s plywood panels, we create a watertight barrier that remains intact even if the primary shingles are lost.
This critical layer prevents water from pouring into your attic and living spaces: protecting your furniture, electronics, and structural framing from costly moisture damage.
Scientific studies show that most roof failures begin at the edges and corners where wind pressure is at its highest. FORTIFIED standards require us to use specialized materials and installation techniques specifically designed to lock down these vulnerable areas. We utilize heavy-duty drip edges and reinforced starter shingles that are wider and better fastened than those found on a typical roof. By bracing the perimeter of your home against wind uplift, we ensure the entire system remains stable and secure from the outside in.
