When living along the Gulf Coast, having a strong, durable roof isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. All Phase Roofing and Construction is a certified FORTIFIED contractor and we take pride in informing our customers on the Fortified Roofing standards and process, installing their roofs to meet those standards and helping them with the FORTIFIED certification process so they can reap the benefits.
With 25 years of experience serving Birmingham and the Gulf Coast region, we are your trusted source for advanced roofing systems that go beyond traditional standards.
A Fortified Roof is a roofing system that meets the rigorous standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). The Fortified program was developed to help homeowners and business owners strengthen their properties against severe weather common to coastal regions.
At All Phase Roofing, we are highly experienced in the installation of Fortified roofing systems and understand the specific requirements needed to meet certification standards.
A FORTIFIED roof is about more than the shingles you see. All Phase Roofing reinforces the parts of your roof that storms target first, building each system to Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety standards.
A sealed deck keeps water out even if shingles are lost in a storm.
Ring-shank nails lock the roof deck down against high winds.
Reinforced drip edge and starter strips protect the roof’s most vulnerable line.
Approved high-wind vents plus proper flashing at walls, valleys and chimneys.
These upgrades work together as a system, giving your roof a stronger line of defense from the deck up.
Earning a FORTIFIED designation involves documentation and an independent inspection at key stages of the project. We handle the installation to meet program requirements and coordinate the evaluation so the process stays clear from start to finish.
All Phase installs the roofing system to meet FORTIFIED requirements. The FORTIFIED evaluator and certificate processes are coordinated according to project requirements and customer agreement.

Yes. All Phase Roofing and Construction is a certified FORTIFIED contractor. We install roofing systems built to the standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). We also walk homeowners through the evaluation and certification process from start to finish.
A FORTIFIED roof is built to a tougher standard than code, with specific upgrades verified by an independent evaluator. The system includes a sealed roof deck, stronger deck attachment using ring shank nails, locked-down roof edges, high-wind vents and upgraded flashing. Each of those steps gets photographed as we build. That documentation is what earns the certificate.
Many insurance carriers offer savings for homes with a certified FORTIFIED roof, though the discount varies by carrier and by policy. We cannot tell you what your insurer will do. What we can do is build and document the roof so it qualifies for certification, then hand you the paperwork to take to your agent.
We document every required build stage with photos as the roof goes on. An independent FORTIFIED evaluator then reviews and verifies the work against the IBHS requirements. Once it all checks out, the FORTIFIED certificate is issued through IBHS. We handle the documentation side so you are not the one chasing paperwork.
We install TAMKO Titan XT® shingles, rated for 160 MPH winds with a Class 3 impact rating. As a TAMKO Platinum Pro contractor, we can offer 20-year and 50-year full-start extended warranties on qualifying installations. The shingle is only part of the picture, though, because a FORTIFIED roof leans just as hard on the deck, the fasteners and the edges.
Most residential roof replacements take one to two days. A FORTIFIED install adds photo documentation at each stage plus the independent evaluation, so the certificate follows after the crew is finished. We will give you a timeline for both the build and the certification before we start.
All Phase Roofing proudly serves Birmingham & the Gulf Coast. Our experience with the region’s weather conditions gives us the insight to build and recommend the best roofing systems available, especially when it comes to storm protection.
