The row, exactly
The row reads: Fortify Elite, Good zone (90-100), two coats, non-prorated for the full period plus a 5-year hail line, 20 years, $2.30 per square foot.
The hail figure sits alongside the term rather than inside it. In practice that means the surface is covered for the full period, and hail has its own separate window of cover behind it.
Why it is only on the top row
Fortify Elite on Fair (75-89) carries 15 years non-prorated with no hail line. Every other row in the table carries none either, including Fortify, Revive and Boost.
The pattern is that the hail line belongs to the build and band that represent the strongest surface: two coats, applied to a roof that scored Good. Nothing below that carries it.
What it is not
It is not storm cover in general, and it is not hurricane or wind cover. Hail is a specific line in this warranty, and a storm that lifts or tears shingles is a different event, which is why storm damage sits among the exclusions on the other rows.
It is also not a promise about the roof structure or the interior of the house. The cover is written around the treated shingle surface.
What decides whether you get it
Two things: the roof has to score in the Good band, and the treatment has to be Fortify Elite. That is a measured score at the free assessment, not a guess from the age of the roof or the way it looks from the driveway.
If the roof scores lower, the honest answer is the row its band supports, and the estimate will say which one that is.
Read the row before you rely on it
The hail line is attached to Fortify Elite in the Good band. A roof in the Fair band takes the same build without it, which is a difference worth knowing before the work rather than after a hailstorm.
Your estimate names the row, so the question is answerable in writing on the day you receive it.
Why the term and the hail years are added, not merged
They answer different events. The term covers the surface for the period stated; the hail line covers one weather event for five years. Keeping them apart is what stops a five-year figure being read as the length of the warranty.
