Get Unparalleled Protection with FORTIFIED Roofing
Garcia Roofing’s FORTIFIED Roofing premium systems, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), provide the ultimate roofing solution for homes and businesses. Designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions and provide lasting durability, our FORTIFIED roofs ensure your peace of mind while enhancing the beauty and value of your property.
Why Choose FORTIFIED Roofing
When it comes to safeguarding your commercial or residential property, ordinary roofs simply don’t cut it. That’s where FORTIFIED roofing comes in.
FORTIFIED roofs are built to exceed industry standards. This means they are engineered to withstand the most severe weather events, including hurricanes, strong winds, and heavy rain. With strengthened roof edges and decks as well as a special attachment process for additional security, these roofs can stand strong against Louisiana’s toughest storms. Due to FORTIFIED roofing’s unmatched strength and durability, many insurance companies offer deep savings for homeowner’s on insurance premiums. Participating insurance companies include:
- American National General
- Anpac Louisiana
- State Farm
- And more
Louisiana FORTIFIED Roof Tax Credit
Upgrade to an IBHS FORTIFIED Roof and you may qualify for the Louisiana Fortified Home Tax Credit — worth up to $10,000 off your state income taxes. This credit equals 100% of your out-of-pocket roofing cost, capped at $10,000. For example, if your project costs $18,000 and a grant or insurance covers $10,000, you pay $8,000 and can claim an $8,000 credit. If you don’t owe the full amount this year, the unused portion can roll forward to future tax years.
Eligibility at a glance:
- Homeowner pays out-of-pocket for a FORTIFIED Roof upgrade
- The roof is installed to IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standards
- Homeowner receives an official IBHS FORTIFIED Certificate
- Roof must be paid for on or after July 1, 2025, one credit per residential structure
