Patriot Roofing & Exteriors Named One of the Top FORTIFIED™ Roofers in the Nation
Patriot Roofing & Exteriors has been nationally recognized at the 10th Annual FORTIFIED Awards as one of the Top 40 Roofing Contractors in the United States for 2024. The company received a Volume Award, a prestigious honor presented to contractors with the highest number of FORTIFIED Home™ designations nationwide.
Developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the FORTIFIED Home™ program is a nationally recognized construction and re-roofing standard that helps protect homes from severe weather like hurricanes, high winds, and heavy rain. A FORTIFIED roof goes beyond typical building codes by using stronger materials and installation techniques—such as enhanced roof deck attachment, sealed roof decks, and improved edge protection—making homes more resilient and significantly reducing storm damage.
Patriot Roofing has also helped dozens of homeowners across Eastern North Carolina access grant funding through the Strengthen Your Roof and Strengthen Your Coastal Roof programs offered by the North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA). These grant programs provide up to $10,000 to eligible homeowners to upgrade to a FORTIFIED Roof™, making storm protection more affordable for families living in hurricane-prone areas.
“This award is more than a recognition—it’s a reflection of our mission to protect our customers and our community,” said Stephanie Bolton, Owner and General Contractor at Patriot Roofing & Exteriors. “In Coastal North Carolina, storms are a fact of life. That’s why we believe every home should be built stronger, starting at the top. We’re proud to lead the way in delivering FORTIFIED roofs that provide real peace of mind.”
With headquarters in Wilmington and additional offices in Jacksonville and Shallotte, Patriot Roofing has quickly become a trusted leader in FORTIFIED roofing installations throughout the region.
The team credits its success to the dedication of its staff, the trust of its customers, and a shared commitment to excellence in every project.
