Architectural shingles, Malarkey-certified installation, and 6-nail storm patterns — because Alabama storms don't forgive shortcuts. Serving all of North and Central Alabama.
Get a Free EstimateThe Fortified Shingle Division was built around one idea: Alabama homeowners deserve shingle roofing that's installed the way it's supposed to be, not the way that's fastest. We specialize in architectural (dimensional) shingles, impact-resistant rated systems, and storm-grade installations across North and Central Alabama.
We're a Malarkey certified installer. Malarkey makes some of the toughest shingles on the market — their smog-reducing granule technology, rubberized asphalt core, and Class 4 impact-resistant options make them the right choice for Alabama homes that see hail, high winds, and severe weather every spring. We stock and install the full Malarkey lineup including Legacy, Vista AR, and Highlander NEX.
On every shingle job we install self-adhering ice and water shield at all eaves, rakes, valleys, and penetrations — not just where code requires it, but wherever water finds a way in. We use synthetic underlayment over the full deck, properly spaced starter strips, and 6-nail patterns on all field shingles. It's the kind of installation that holds up when the next storm rolls through and your neighbor's shingles end up in the yard.
If your current roof was put on with 4 nails per shingle, no starter strips, and felt paper that's already dry-rotted — we've seen it — call us. A proper reinstall with current materials and proper nail placement can add 10-15 years to your shingle lifespan and significantly reduce wind uplift risk.

Every shingle job includes a full decking inspection. Rotted OSB, improper nail patterns, ventilation problems — we find them and fix them before new shingles go down.
Shingles installed with nails too high fail in wind. We nail in the manufacturer's nail zone — every shingle, every time. It's not complicated, but most crews get it wrong.
Bad attic ventilation ruins shingles from the inside out. We assess your intake and exhaust before the job starts and recommend fixes if needed.
We don't subcontract your roof to whoever called that morning. Our shingle crews work for us, follow our standards, and are accountable to us when something isn't right.
You'll know exactly what materials are going on your roof, what gauge nails, what underlayment, what warranty. No surprises after the job starts.
We walk the roof, assess the decking, check ventilation, measure every plane, and give you a written estimate with materials specified by name and manufacturer.
We'll show you shingle samples and color options. If you're going through insurance, we help match the approved material to the best available Malarkey equivalent.
We remove the old shingles and underlayment, inspect the decking, replace any rotted or damaged OSB, and re-nail any loose decking before anything new goes on.
Self-adhering ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys. Synthetic underlayment over the full deck. Drip edge installed to code.
Starter strips at all eaves and rakes. Field shingles installed with proper offset and 6-nail pattern. Hip and ridge shingles sealed and properly fastened.
We magnet-sweep the yard for nails, haul off all old material, and walk the job with you before we leave. If something's not right, we fix it on the spot.
