How FORTIFIED Roof™ Protects Your Home

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against severe weather, and if it fails, water can pour in causing extensive damage throughout your home. That’s why every McMurphy Home comes standard with a FORTIFIED Roof™, designed to provide unmatched protection against wind, rain, hail, and other severe conditions.

The FORTIFIED Roof™ system follows proven methods backed by IBHS (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety) testing, focusing on the most critical areas of your roof to reduce damage and increase durability.

Key Features of a FORTIFIED Roof™:

• Enhanced Roof Deck Attachment: Using 8D ring-shank nails and closer spacing, the roof deck is secured more effectively, doubling the uplift it can withstand during high winds.
• Sealed Roof Deck: Seams are sealed to prevent water intrusion, reducing the amount of water that can enter your home by up to 95%.
• Locked Down Roof Edges: Wider drip edges and fully adhered starter strips protect vulnerable roof edges from being lifted by wind, keeping the roof intact during storms.
• Impact-Resistant Shingles Rated by IBHS: Shingles are tested to withstand hail up to 2 inches in diameter, outperforming typical Class 4 shingles for superior protection.
• Wind and Rain-Resistant Attic Vents: Special vents prevent high winds and rain from entering through the attic, reducing the risk of water damage inside your home.
