Endorsements
Best If You Can’t Get FORTIFIED Before the Next Storm
If you are not able to get a FORTIFIED Roof before the next storm comes, make sure your homeowners policy includes a FORTIFIED Endorsement. Offered by several carriers in North Carolina (and provided for free by NCIUA), this extra piece of insurance will pay additional funds to help offset the cost of upgrading to a FORTIFIED Roof, if yours is being replaced due to a covered loss. Cost for the endorsement varies by carrier.
Ask your insurance company for details.
Some insurers in North Carolina will
Pay You to Upgrade to FORTIFIED
if you have an endorsement and have significant roof damage
