ASHI Certified. FORTIFIED™ Evaluator. Fully Licensed.
Not every home inspector is a Certified FORTIFIED™ Evaluator. Bubba Phillips holds this specialized certification, making him one of the few inspectors in Southwest Alabama qualified to evaluate homes for the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant program — a state-funded initiative that helps homeowners get their roofs replaced to FORTIFIED standards at little or no cost.
As an ASHI Certified inspector and Alabama licensed professional (HI-1022), Bubba brings an elevated standard of care to every inspection. He doesn't just check boxes — he gives you the full picture so you can make the most important financial decisions of your life with total confidence.
Superior Home Inspections serves both residential and commercial properties throughout Southwest Alabama.
Understanding the FORTIFIED™ Home Standard
FORTIFIED™ is a voluntary construction and re-roofing standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). It is specifically designed to make homes more resistant to the severe weather events common along the Gulf Coast — including hurricanes, high winds, and hailstorms.
A FORTIFIED™ designation is earned when a certified evaluator verifies that your roof and related construction meets these elevated standards. Once your home receives a FORTIFIED™ designation, you may qualify for significant homeowner's insurance discounts — often saving hundreds of dollars per year.
The Strengthen Alabama Homes program takes FORTIFIED™ even further — it is a state-funded grant that can pay for your qualifying roof replacement entirely. Mobile County and Baldwin County residents have had access to dedicated application windows for this grant, and demand is extremely high.
Why You Need a Certified FORTIFIED™ Evaluator
To qualify for a FORTIFIED™ designation — and to access Strengthen Alabama Homes grant funding — your roof replacement must be verified by a Certified FORTIFIED™ Evaluator. Bubba Phillips holds this certification, and Superior Home Inspections is your trusted local partner for this process.
How the Grant Program Works
The Strengthen Alabama Homes program is administered by the Alabama Department of Insurance and provides grants to help Alabama homeowners replace their roofs to FORTIFIED™ standards. Here is how the process works:
Step 1 — Check the Grant Window
The grant application window opens periodically for Mobile County and Baldwin County. Application slots fill up fast — often within hours of opening. Monitor the Alabama Department of Insurance website and follow Superior Home Inspections on Facebook for announcements.
Step 2 — Select Your Evaluator
When applying for the grant, you must select a Certified FORTIFIED™ Evaluator. Choose Superior Home Inspections — Bubba Phillips is certified, local, and highly experienced with the Strengthen Alabama Homes process.
Step 3 — Complete Your Inspection & Evaluation
After your roof is replaced to FORTIFIED™ standards by a qualified contractor, Bubba performs the required FORTIFIED™ evaluation and submits your documentation — earning you the official FORTIFIED™ designation and unlocking your insurance savings.
Comprehensive Inspections for Every Property
From standard residential inspections to FORTIFIED™ evaluations and commercial properties, Superior Home Inspections is equipped to handle it all.
Comprehensive evaluation of the home's structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more — delivered in a clear, detailed report you can use with confidence during your transaction.
Superior Home Inspections evaluates commercial properties throughout Southwest Alabama, providing the detailed reporting that business owners, investors, and lenders require.
As a Certified FORTIFIED™ Evaluator, Bubba Phillips performs the required post-construction evaluations needed to earn your FORTIFIED™ designation and qualify for the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant.
Living along the Gulf Coast means understanding wind risk. Bubba inspects roof systems, attachments, and structural elements with an eye toward hurricane and severe storm performance.
Sellers who invest in a pre-listing inspection avoid surprises at closing, price their home with confidence, and demonstrate transparency to buyers throughout the transaction.
New homes aren't immune to defects. A professional inspection before closing ensures your builder has delivered the home you paid for — and documents any issues while they're still the builder's responsibility.
