Full Fortified Roof Replacement with IKO Dynasty Impact-Rated Shingles

When a storm does enough damage, it opens the door to get a lot more than just a patch job - and that's exactly what happened here. This homeowner came to us after their roof had taken a hit, and we took it all the way down to the deck to see what we were really working with. New plywood went down first. That's the foundation everything else sits on, and we weren't going to build a better roof on a compromised base.

From there, we installed IKO Dynasty shingles - a Class 3 impact-rated asphalt shingle built to take a serious beating. The hip-and-ridge caps were double-layered, which adds extra protection at the spots where two roof planes meet. Those intersections are where a lot of roofs fail first. Double-layering them isn't a shortcut - it's just the right way to do it.

This roof also qualifies as a Fortified build. The FORTIFIED program is a designation developed by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, and it sets a higher construction standard than typical code requires. For homeowners, that often translates to real insurance savings and better protection when storms roll through. It's not just a label - it means the roof was built to a verified standard.

Here's the part that matters most for a lot of people: insurance covered it. If your roof has seen storm damage and you've been putting off the conversation with your insurance company, it's worth getting a professional set of eyes on things first. A lot of homeowners don't realize what their policy will actually cover until someone who knows what to look for walks the roof with them.

The finished product on this brick home looks sharp - dark charcoal shingles against the red brick is a clean combination. But more than the appearance, this homeowner now has a roof that's built tougher than what was there before, backed by a recognized standard, and ready for whatever the next storm season brings.
