FORTIFIED Roof™
certified in Baton Rouge.
FORTIFIED is a voluntary construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, built on two decades of full-scale wind and rain testing. It re-engineers a roof at the four points where roofs actually fail in a hurricane — and FCB is now credentialed to build them.
IBHS FORTIFIED Roof™Credentialed Contractor
The designation isn’t something we hand out. Every FORTIFIED roof is documented during construction and signed off by an independent IBHS-credentialed evaluator — then issued by IBHS.
Sealed Roof Deck
Every deck seam is taped or fully sealed. If the wind takes your shingles, water still can’t get into the house — which is where most of the real damage bill comes from.
Enhanced Nailing
Ring-shank nails on a tighter pattern, so the deck stays attached to the rafters under uplift instead of peeling off in sheets.
Locked-Down Edges
Upgraded drip edge and starter strips, fastened to spec. The edge is where wind gets its first grip on a roof — so that’s where the standard is strictest.
Rated Shingles & Vents
Impact- and pressure-rated coverings and vents, installed to the manufacturer’s high-wind specification, not just the minimum.
Custom sheet metal fabrication
We don’t order the metal.
We make it.
Most roofers order stock trim and hope it fits. We run a sheet metal shop on South Choctaw Drive. Standing seam panels, copper chimney caps, valleys and awnings are cut and brake-formed to the dimensions we measured on your roof — so the fit is right the first time.
How a job runs
Four steps, in this order,
every single time.
Inspection
Often same-day. We photograph shingles, flashing and ventilation and document what we actually find.
Proposal
A written, itemized scope with the price and the timeline in it. No hidden fees, financing available.
Install
Our own crew, not a subcontractor. Most standard Baton Rouge homes finish in one to two days.
Final Cleanup & Sign-Off
Magnetic nail sweep, debris hauled, driveway clear — then a walkthrough with you before we leave.

Questions we get
every week.
Are you fully licensed and insured in Louisiana?
Yes. FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal is a fully licensed Louisiana contractor (State License #6381) and we carry comprehensive General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance on every project — so both our crew and your property are protected for the full duration of the job.
What is a FORTIFIED roof, and is it worth it?
FORTIFIED is a construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety that strengthens a roof at four failure points: a sealed deck, ring-shank nailing, locked-down edges, and rated coverings. It costs more than a standard replacement, but in Louisiana it can also qualify a home for insurance premium discounts and state incentive programs. Ask us and your insurance agent what applies to your home.
Can you repair a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Usually. Many leaks come from a failing pipe boot, damaged flashing, or a handful of loose shingles. If the roof still has structural integrity, we’ll recommend the targeted repair that extends its life rather than the expensive replacement. Honest assessment first, always.
Will you work with my insurance company on a storm claim?
Yes. We’re your contractor, not your adjuster — but we act as your technical advocate. We provide detailed, itemized inspection reports documenting exactly what damage occurred, so your carrier has the facts it needs to process the claim fairly.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
For most standard Baton Rouge homes, one to two days. Our crews are specialized and we work fast but precise, to minimize the time your home is exposed. Every job ends with a meticulous debris sweep of the driveway and yard.
Do you offer financing?
We do. Several flexible plans with competitive rates and low monthly payments, so a new roof or custom metal installation doesn’t have to become a financial burden.
