In this episode of The FORTIFIED Factor , AI Experts (informed by Knockout Inspections) break down the 2025 FORTIFIED Roof Repair Checklist and what’s changed, what matters most, and what homeowners need to get right the first time. Based on the official checklist , we walk through the critical steps required to stay compliant—from documenting the full scope of damage with site-specific photos to verifying structural integrity, roof deck thickness, and proper attachment methods.

We also highlight: Why documentation with geolocation and clarity is mandatory (not optional) When a FORTIFIED Evaluator or engineer must be involved Key requirements for roof coverings, vents, and impact-rated materials Special considerations for hail, hurricane, and solar (PV) systems The importance of the final signed Confirmation of Completion for IBHS approval The biggest takeaway?
