Fortified Home Additions in Baldwin County, Alabama

Expand & Strengthen Your Home with Sovine Construction

At Sovine Construction, we specialize in Gold Fortified™ home additions that not only expand your living space but also ensure your home remains protected against severe weather. As a licensed Alabama Homebuilder (#28923), we follow FORTIFIED Home™ standards, so your addition enhances both functionality and storm resilience.

If your home is already Gold Fortified™, it’s crucial to choose a contractor who understands the Fortified process. Adding an unfortified addition to a Fortified home can cause you to lose your Fortification designation—resulting in higher insurance costs and reduced storm protection. Our team ensures your new addition meets the same FORTIFIED Home™ standards as the rest of your home, so you maintain your certification and peace of mind.

What is a Gold Fortified™ Home Addition?

A Gold Fortified™ addition follows the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) FORTIFIED Home™ program, designed to strengthen homes against hurricanes, high winds, and severe weather—critical for Baldwin County’s coastal communities.

With a Fortified addition, you get:

✔ Stronger Structural Integrity – Reinforced roof-to-wall connections, impact-resistant windows, and wind-resistant materials.

✔ Hurricane & Storm Resistance – Built to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris.

✔ Maintained or Lowered Insurance Premiums – Many insurance providers offer significant discounts for Fortified homes, but adding an unfortified structure can cause you to lose those savings.

✔ Increased Home Value – A stronger, safer home is a more valuable investment.
