What New Orleans Roofs Have to Handle
Hurricanes, tropical storms, and high winds
Coastal Louisiana roofs have to handle hurricane-force gusts and sideways rain, plus summer thunderstorms and hail. We install shingles to the manufacturer’s high-wind specs, seal the starter and ridge courses, and offer Class 4 impact-resistant shingle options.
Heat, humidity, and algae
Hot, humid summers bake roofs and feed the dark algae streaks you see on many Louisiana roofs. We recommend algae-resistant shingles and make sure the attic is ventilated to shed heat and moisture.
Older homes and decking
New Orleans has many shotgun houses, Creole cottages, and historic homes, some with slate or tile roofs, and some still have original decking or several layers of old shingles. Homes in a historic district may need design review before exterior materials change, and we check before ordering. We inspect the decking during tear-off and tell you about any repairs before we go further.
Permits
Whether a reroof needs a permit depends on the city or county and the scope of work. We check with the City of New Orleans Safety and Permits office and pull any permit your project requires.
Your Utility and Solar in New Orleans
Entergy New Orleans and solar
Entergy New Orleans is the electric utility for most of New Orleans. Louisiana’s net metering rules and the credit rate for solar power you send back to the grid differ by utility. We confirm your utility’s current terms and size solar to your actual usage, often with a battery. See how the Roof + Solar Bundle works
What a Roof Replacement Costs in New Orleans
Your price depends on roof size, pitch, material, underlayment and ventilation upgrades, and the condition of the decking underneath. Estimate your roof in 60 seconds, then get an itemized quote after a free inspection.
Planning solar in the next few years?
Adding solar right after a new roof avoids paying to remove and reinstall panels later. Coordinating both through one team may save $3,000–$7,000 in duplicated labor, permitting, and scheduling. Actual savings depend on your roof, system size, and project scope. See the Roof + Solar Bundle

New Orleans Roofing FAQ
How much does a roof replacement cost in New Orleans?
It depends on roof size, pitch, material, and the condition of the decking. Use our roof cost calculator for a quick estimate, and we’ll give you an itemized quote after a free inspection, before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in New Orleans?
Whether a reroof needs a permit depends on the scope of work. We check with the City of New Orleans Safety and Permits office and pull any permit your project requires. Any permit fees are listed on your quote.
Will an impact-resistant roof lower my insurance?
Often, yes. Many insurers offer premium discounts for roofs rated UL 2218 Class 4 for impact resistance. The discount varies by insurer and policy, so ask your agent before you choose a shingle. We can quote Class 4 options side by side with standard shingles.
What roof holds up best to Louisiana storms?
Architectural shingles installed to high-wind specs, standing-seam metal, and properly fastened tile all perform well. Installation matters as much as the material: fasteners, sealed edges, and underlayment are what keep a roof on in a storm.
Can I add solar when I replace my roof?
Yes. Doing both together means your panels go on a brand-new roof, so you avoid paying to remove and reinstall them later. We check how your utility handles solar and size the system to your usage. See our Roof + Solar Bundle.
