Premier Roofing Company in Orleans Parish, LA.
When Hurricane Ida hit in 2021, we watched out-of-state contractors flood into our city, collect checks, and disappear. Our family has called Louisiana home since 1699—we're descendants of the settlers who arrived with Iberville on the first voyage to the Mississippi. We're not storm chasers. We're your neighbors. And we're not going anywhere.
Lapeyre Roofing is FORTIFIED-certified, meaning we can build to the IBHS roof standard and provide the documentation needed for evaluator, carrier, and program review. From Uptown to Lakeview, Gentilly to the French Quarter, we specialize in storm-resilient roofing built for New Orleans conditions.

Permit-aware roofing guidance for Orleans Parish homes
A New Orleans roof scope should answer more than price. It should explain permit timing, storm-documentation needs, FORTIFIED evaluator steps, and which funding paths need official verification before work begins.
New Orleans re-roofing permit
The City says single- and two-family roof replacement affecting 50% or more requires a separate residential re-roofing permit, with geotagged photo documentation during installation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your questions about our roofing services.
What is FORTIFIED roofing and why does it matter in New Orleans?
FORTIFIED is an IBHS roof standard verified by a third-party evaluator. In New Orleans, it matters because sealed-deck and edge details reduce wind-driven rain risk. Insurance benefits, grants, and tax credits depend on official program status and your carrier or tax situation.
How do I avoid hiring a storm chaser after a hurricane?
Storm chasers flood Louisiana after every major hurricane, collect deposits, and disappear. To protect yourself: verify the contractor has a permanent Louisiana address (not just a P.O. box), check their BBB rating, ask how long they've been in business locally, and never pay more than 10% upfront. Lapeyre Roofing has been family-owned in Louisiana since 2021, with roots here since 1699.
Do you help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. We provide roof inspections, photos, scope notes, and repair or replacement estimates for storm-damage claims. We provide carrier-ready documentation at your request, but your insurer determines coverage under your policy.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in New Orleans?
For single- and two-family homes, New Orleans requires a separate residential re-roofing permit when roof replacement affects 50% or more of the roof. Historic districts and VCC/HDLC properties may need additional review.
Can I use both the Louisiana Fortify Homes grant and the Louisiana tax credit?
Do not assume you can stack them. The Louisiana Revenue notice says the state tax credit is not available to taxpayers who received a Louisiana Fortify Homes Program grant. Confirm with the official program or a tax professional before work starts.
What neighborhoods in Orleans Parish do you serve?
We serve all of Orleans Parish including Uptown, Garden District, French Quarter, Mid-City, Lakeview, Gentilly, Bywater, Marigny, Audubon, Carrollton, and the Lower Ninth Ward. Our local team typically responds within 24-48 hours for inspections.
