FORTIFIED™ Roof Installation – Riley Roof & Exteriors
Serving Greater Cincinnati, Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky
Stronger Roofs. Smarter Homes. Certified Protection.
If you’re replacing your roof, why settle for “just enough” to meet code? At Riley Roof & Exteriors, we help homeowners across Greater Cincinnati, Southwest Ohio, and Northern Kentucky upgrade to FORTIFIED™ Roof systems—roofs designed to hold up when the weather doesn’t.
We’re one of the very few contractors in the region certified by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) to install FORTIFIED™ Roofs that resist wind, hail, and heavy rain—way beyond what standard roofing can handle.

FORTIFIED™ Roof standard
The FORTIFIED™ Roof standard is a nationally recognized system that strengthens your home against severe weather by focusing on where most roofs fail first. It’s not about luxury—it’s about resilience.
What Is a FORTIFIED™ Roof?
Key features include:
Stronger Edges – Reinforced starter strips and fasteners to stop wind from lifting the roof edge
Sealed Roof Decks – A second layer of defense that helps keep water out if shingles get blown off
Enhanced Attachment – Nail patterns and fasteners that meet specific uplift resistance requirements
This isn’t some marketing badge—it’s a proven system tested in real-world storms.
Why Choose a FORTIFIED™
Storms here aren’t just a coastal problem. Between the microbursts in Cincinnati, spring hail in Southwest Ohio, and fast-moving wind events in Northern Kentucky, traditional roofs are constantly getting tested.
Why FORTIFIED™ Matters in Our Area
Here’s why a FORTIFIED™ Roof makes sense in our region:
Lower Insurance Premiums – Many carriers offer 15–30% discounts for FORTIFIED™ upgrades
Stronger Storm Protection – Less risk of water intrusion, structural damage, and frantic tarp calls
Long-Term Value – Fewer repairs, longer roof life, and greater peace of mind
Incentives in Kentucky – If you’re in Northern Kentucky, you may qualify for financial help through the Strengthen Kentucky Homes program, which covers part of the cost to upgrade to a FORTIFIED™ Roof
Whether it’s about safety, savings, or both—this is a smarter way to reroof.
