Once the policyholder has selected their contractor, a FORTIFIED Evaluator will be assigned to work with them and their contractor to confirm the roof is completed per required FORTIFIED Roof standards.
FORTIFIED Evaluators are third-party contractors who have been trained to verify and document the construction process to make sure the FORTIFIED Roof™ standards set forth by IBHS are met. The evaluator will be onsite a limited amount of time and will rely on the homeowner and the contractor to provide some of the documentation required to apply for the FORTIFIED Roof™ designation from IBHS. If IBHS awards the FORTIFIED Roof™ designation, NCIUA will then finalize the grant.
Once the policyholder has been accepted into the Grant Program, and has selected their contractor, a FORTIFIED Evaluator will be assigned by the Strengthen Your Coastal Roof team. The FORTIFIED Evaluator will provide guidance throughout the entire process of replacing the current roof with a FORTIFIED Roof. The FORTIFIED Evaluator works with the policyholder and contractor to successfully receive the IBHS FORTIFIED Roof™ designation.
If the policyholder wishes to choose their own FORTIFIED Evaluator, please email NCroofs@ncjua.com or call 1-877-GRANTNC (877-472-6862).
