Announcing Gator Snap: Our Certified FORTIFIED Standing Seam Metal Roofing

July 13, 2024

We are thrilled to introduce Gator Snap, the latest innovation from Middle South Systems, now certified through the prestigious FORTIFIED Roof program. Middle South Systems is now officially a FORTIFIED Hail, High-Wind, and Hurricane certified provider.

As a leading provider of metal roofing solutions in Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi, we are committed to delivering products that offer unparalleled protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Gator Snap is a testament to this commitment, designed to meet the highest standards of resilience and performance.

What is a FORTIFIED ROOF?

The FORTIFIED Roof program is a section of FORTIFIED, a voluntary construction and re-roofing program designed to strengthen homes and commercial buildings against severe weather such as high winds, hail, hurricanes, and even tornadoes. Essentially, it is a voluntary building code that goes beyond the building codes of local cities and states, to ensure that your house is built ready for the next major storm that comes through Louisiana or Mississippi. All of the roofs we install with our Gator Snap roofing, are a certified FORTIFIED Roof.

What is Gator Snap?

Gator Snap is our top-of-the-line standing seam metal roofing system, engineered to provide superior protection against the harshest weather conditions, including hurricanes and high winds. This certification through the FORTIFIED Roof program ensures that every aspect of Gator Snap—from the raw materials to the final product—meets rigorous standards of quality and durability.

The Certification Process

Achieving the Certified FORTIFIED Roofing designation is no small feat. Our Gator Snap roofing system underwent extensive engineering testing in Houston, Texas, to ensure it could withstand extreme weather conditions. This certification process confirms that our mobile roll-forming machine, raw materials, supplies, and final product all meet the stringent requirements of the FORTIFIED Roof program.
