Spoiler: they’re not!You’ll learn:The three pillars every true FORTIFIED Roof™ must have — sealed roof deck, enhanced nailing, and locked-down edges.The real difference between wind ratings (Class F or H) and impact ratings (Class 3 or 4) — and how they affect your home’s performance.Why installation quality often matters more than premium materials when it comes to passing inspection.How marketing, insurance discounts, and local habits fuel the “Class 4 = mandatory” myth.When it does make sense to upgrade to Class 4 shingles for hail-prone regions — and when you can save thousands by sticking with Class F or H.Whether you live on the coast or in hail country, this episode helps you make smarter, more resilient investments for your home — without overpaying for the wrong things.Have questions after listening?Call Knockout Inspections at 855-GO-FOR-KO (855-463-6756) or visit fortifiedhome.com to learn more about certified FORTIFIED evaluations.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1eo0Iz-fQDKMBa0DjfWx7Hl5DVsIcYXNvfRPl4ixM-M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNDA1/NWM5NTU5NTZjNzU4/ZTYxMzhjYTU0ZmU5/ZGJiMi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
