Why FORTIFIED Makes Sense in Leander
The Hail Alley Reality
With 70+ annual hail events and 32 severe weather warnings, Leander is one of Texas's most hail-exposed cities. FORTIFIED is designed exactly for this.
Repeated Hail
Impact: April 2024 impacted 11,500+ properties. Multiple events each year cause cumulative damage and claims.
Our Solution: FORTIFIED specifies materials and methods that survive events destroying standard roofs.
High Winds
Impact: Severe storms bring 60-80 mph gusts. Standard roofs fail at edges first, then cascade.
Our Solution: FORTIFIED enhanced edge metal resists uplift—the most common failure initiation point.
Insurance Pressure
Impact: Texas premiums increasing. Each claim affects rates and insurability.
Our Solution: 10-28% discounts plus fewer claims. Better long-term insurance stability.
Post-Storm Burden
Impact: After April 2024, homeowners waited months for repairs. Tarps, delays, stress.
Our Solution: FORTIFIED homes typically have minimal damage. Return to normal while neighbors wait.
