What we handle
From the first tarp to the final repair
Storm damage ranges from a handful of missing shingles to a roof stripped on every plane. Pick a stage to see what we do.
Tarping
Temporary tarping and dry-in
Active leaks and exposed decking cannot wait for an adjuster, so we tarp and dry in the roof to stop water getting inside.

Claims and the law
What to know before you call a roofer
Louisiana changed the rules for contractors and insurance claims in 2025. Here is how it affects your storm repair.
Damage you cannot see
Wind, hail and debris leave creased tabs, bruised shingles and weakened flashing seals that are invisible from the ground.
Stop further damage
Carriers expect homeowners to take reasonable steps after a storm, and tarping active leaks protects both your home and your claim.
Check any contractor
Confirm a valid Louisiana license with the LSLBC, proof of liability and workers' comp insurance, a permanent local address and local references.
Watch for storm chasers
After major storms, out-of-state operators often collect deposits, rush the work with cheap materials and disappear before the next hurricane season.
For help with the claim itself, talk to your insurer or a public adjuster. We provide the inspection, documentation and estimate.

Questions
Storm damage questions
Response, insurance and choosing a contractor, answered plainly.
How quickly can you respond after a storm?
We prioritize storm calls and start scheduling inspections as soon as conditions are safe. For active leaks or exposed decking, we tarp the roof to prevent further interior damage.
Do you repair commercial roofs after storms?
Yes. We repair storm damage on offices, retail spaces, restaurants and multi-family buildings throughout the Greater New Orleans area.
Should I file my insurance claim before calling a roofer?
Yes. Louisiana law prohibits contractors from advertising as insurance claims specialists or interpreting policies. Contact your insurer first to open the claim, then call us for the inspection, documentation and estimate your adjuster will need.
Will insurance cover storm damage on an older roof?
Insurance generally covers storm damage regardless of roof age when a covered event like wind or hail caused it. On older roofs, documentation that separates storm damage from normal wear is critical.
What is a named storm deductible?
A separate deductible that applies to damage from a storm designated by the National Hurricane Center. Check your policy for the amount before you file.
What if my insurance company undervalues or denies my claim?
You have the right to dispute the decision, request a reinspection and submit more documentation. For complex disputes, a public adjuster or a property insurance attorney can represent you.
How do I verify that a roofing contractor is legitimate?
Confirm a valid Louisiana license through the LSLBC, ask for proof of general liability and workers' comp insurance, check for a permanent local address and ask for references from storm work in your area.
