    Our Systems

    Four roofs. One standard of craft.

    Every roof we install — whatever the material — goes on to the FORTIFIED Roof™ standard by the same crews. Every project starts with a full tear-off to bare deck; we never install over an old roof, even where code allows it. Hover any card to see the work.

    Why Permalock?

    A roof that outlives the home.

    Louisiana carriers are surcharging asphalt roofs at 5 years and non-renewing at 15–20. A Permalock roof doesn't age that way — a 20-year-old Permalock rates the same as a 1-day-old Permalock.

    You buy one Permalock roof — or two or more asphalt roofs. Over a 30-year horizon, asphalt is the more expensive choice once replacement, granule loss, and insurance surcharges for aging roofs are added in.

    And the warranty stays with the house: Permalock's lifetime, non-prorated warranty transfers to the next owner — a closing-table asset other roofs simply don't provide.

    Louisiana FORTIFIED incentives

    Louisiana now makes Permalock cheaper than asphalt — upfront.

    Louisiana pays you to build FORTIFIED: two alternative paths to $10,000, plus a mandated insurance discount. The grant and tax credit cannot be combined; we help you pursue the eligible path that fits your project.

    $10,000
    LA FORTIFIED Roof Tax Credit
    A nonrefundable Louisiana income tax credit of up to $10,000 for eligible expenses on a qualifying FORTIFIED Roof™ (LA RS 47:6044). No lottery; program rules, annual funding, and filing windows apply.
    17–40%*
    Mandated FORTIFIED discount
    Louisiana law requires carriers to discount qualifying FORTIFIED roofs. Filed discounts run roughly 17–40% of the wind portion of the premium. Where a Class 4 impact credit is larger, the carrier applies that instead; the discounts do not stack.
    $10,000
    LA Fortify Homes Grant
    Up to $10,000 as direct assistance through lottery-selected application windows. This is an alternative to the tax credit, not an additional benefit; costs covered by the grant cannot also support the credit.

    *Filed FORTIFIED discounts vary by carrier and generally apply to the wind portion of the premium, not the full insurance bill. Grant and tax-credit eligibility, funding, filing windows, and individual tax value vary. Confirm current terms with your carrier, Louisiana program administrators, and a tax professional before relying on any figure here.

    We help with your carrier's discount paperwork
    USAA  ·  SageSure  ·  Other Louisiana carriers
    USAA, SageSure, and other Louisiana carriers have filed FORTIFIED discounts with the Louisiana Department of Insurance. Carrier rules and discount amounts vary; carrier names do not imply endorsement of All-Ways Roofing.
