FORTIFIED Roofing In New Orleans — Up to $10,000 In State Grants
There’s a lot to learn before you buy a new roof for your New Orleans home.
The Louisiana FORTIFIED Roof program guarantees that roofs are built to stronger wind and water-resistant standards than a minimum-code-compliance roof replacement. The deck is sealed and the roof edge is reinforced, and there’s particular underlayment to be installed – these are the nitty-gritty details that will have your roof intact when the winds reach 110 mph.
There’s a good deal to be made. The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program can give your contractor up to $10,000 to pay for FORTIFIED installation. If you can’t wait for the lottery, you can also receive a $10,000 3-year state tax credit under Act 404. You can’t have both, but it’s good to know that you can have one.
On top of the grants, the majority of Louisiana insurance companies are now required to give 20-52% discounts on the wind part of your premium for a FORTIFIED home. In New Orleans, where premiums have skyrocketed since Ida, this can save you big-time.
We’ve installed FORTIFIED systems in the New Orleans area. If you’re wondering whether you qualify for a FORTIFIED home, and which grant is right for you, ask us when we inspect your home – we’ll explain the process without any pressure.

What New Orleans Roofs Deal With That Most Cities Don't
New Orleans is a tough place to be a roof. With Gulf Coast hurricanes, 63 inches of rain annually, heat index readings in the summer that consistently reach 110°F, and some of the country’s highest humidity, your roof does more work than just about any other part of the country.
We see these things on roofs every day:
The big one is wind damage from hurricanes. But the unseen damage – the nails popped on the shingles that look OK from the street, the flashing lifted at the chimney or dormer, the ridge caps that moved a half inch – that’s what causes leaks six months later, when you’re no longer watching.
Water and algae are the insidious ones. Those ugly black lines you see on roofs in Gentilly, Lakeview and Mid-City are no decoration. They’re caused by algae destroying your shingle granules. Without the granules, the shingle is less protected from UV rays and begins to wear out. In New Orleans, this occurs after 3-5 years on an unprotected roof – much quicker than the national average.
New Orleans roofs are more likely to have foundation movement than you think. Our clay-rich soil in Orleans Parish settles with moisture – and when your house settles (even a little), the first place you notice it is in your flashing. It shows up as gaps around wall corners, skylights and pipe boots. But the first place you notice is when the roof leaks.
Roof Repair In New Orleans, LA
In New Orleans, your roof experiences challenges that other cities don’t. A Category 1 skirting the coast will lift the shingle tabs and snap the seal strips holding them in place. A July afternoon storm can drop 3 inches of rain in an hour – more than enough to find all the cracks in your roof and turn them into leaks.
We’ve fixed roofs in Lakeview after storms that didn’t look that bad on the TV news, but still left half the neighborhood with damaged flashing. We’ve repaired leaks on Gentilly homes that began with a tiny crack in a pipe boot – the kind of leak that doesn’t show up on your ceiling until the decking is waterlogged. That’s the way roofing works in this town: it’s hidden.
So we come out, we go on your roof, we tell you what we see – with pictures, explanation and no hard sell. If it’s a repair, we fix it. If it’s more, we let you know and find solutions. And if the damage is covered, we deal with the insurance: we’ve seen hundreds of roofs with adjusters in Orleans and Jefferson Parish and know how to properly photograph damage.
Roof Replacement New Orleans, LA.
In New Orleans, most roofs are on a fast-track schedule. Rain, humidity, heat indexes over 105°F in the summer and the wind cycles of hurricane season take their toll on shingles much sooner than the manufacturer’s rated life. A 30-year architectural shingle in New Orleans is likely to last 18-22 years at best, and less if the attic ventilation was wrong, or the roof received damage during Ida in 2021 and was patched.
We often see it on tearoffs all over town: in Broadmoor and New Orleans East, where Katrina or Ida emergency repairs laid new shingles on damaged decking. It looks fine from the street. It isn’t. We remove the roof and check what’s underneath before we start reroofing to get it right, rather than covering up the problem.
We don’t do drive-by estimates. We look at decking, ventilation, flashing, drainage, and then we discuss the roof. We then explain the options – asphalt shingles, metal, tile, FORTIFIED – and the costs, without pushing. We’re done 72 hours after we begin and clean up everything.
And if price is important, we offer financing as low as $99/month and can work with insurance adjusters if we’re repairing storm damage.
Residential & Commercial Roofing Services
New Orleans has a very unique roofing stock. You’ve got 19th century Creole houses in the Tremé with wood decking that’s older than Houston. You’ve got raised-ranch style homes in Gentilly that were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s with original ventilation that was not designed to handle the heat load that it does today. You’ve got modern homes in New Orleans East on shifting foundations. In the CBD and Mid-City, you’ve got low-slope roofs in commercial buildings that are prone to develop water pools every time a storm stalls over the city (and it stalls a lot in New Orleans).
We work on all of it.
For houses, that involves understanding the shape and age of your house. A double shotgun in the Seventh Ward is not the same as a brick ranch in Lakeview – it needs different roofing materials, flashing, ventilation – it has different needs. We don’t come with a universal prescription.
How's Your Roof Doing? Honestly
When it comes to roofs in New Orleans, they don’t always totally collapse. Mostly the failure is insidious. A seal strip that cracked during last year’s tropical storm but the shingles remained. Dormer flashing that’s loose a quarter of an inch. A pipe boot that split in the heat of the summer and is now leaking a teaspoon of water with every rain – until one day it’s a leak on your ceiling and you can’t remember when it first started.
Most people don’t call us until it’s been months in the making. This isn’t a complaint – it’s the nature of roofs here. The damage hides.
The key is to have it checked before it needs to be checked. Before June, the beginning of hurricane season. If there’s a named storm within 100 miles. When your roof reaches the age of 12 years. Or just because you moved into the house three years ago and you’ve never had it inspected.
For commercial roofs in New Orleans, we’re experts in low-slope and flat roofs – TPO, modified bitumen, roof coatings and full membrane replacements – for commercial office, retail corridors, industrial storage, multi-family properties. We also provide preventative maintenance, because in this town, you don’t want a flat roof that hasn’t had an inspection before the next hurricane.

Find answers to the most common questions about our roofing services.
The FORTIFIED Roof program, sponsored by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), is a roofing standard for storm-resistant roofs that is particularly important in New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana. FORTIFIED roofs are designed to be more resistant to wind and water than a typical roof replacement, with stronger underlayment, roof deck sealing and edge connections. The cost savings for New Orleans homeowners are substantial: Louisiana’s program offers up to $10,000 to be paid directly to your contractor for installing a FORTIFIED roof, or a $10,000 three-year state tax credit if you pay for the project yourself. And many insurance companies provide substantial discounts for FORTIFIED roofs. Simplex Roof has FORTIFIED experience and can explain the certification process and incentives during a free roof inspection.
Yes – in New Orleans, any roof replacement that covers 50% or more of the roof requires a “re-roofing” permit from the City’s Office of Safety and Permits. Smaller repairs may not require a permit but other aspects of the project may. Failing to have a permit could cause issues with future home sales, insurance claims, and even bank inspections. At Simplex Roof, we manage the permitting for you, secure all necessary permits before starting your project, and document your project from inspection to final approval – so you have all the necessary paperwork and a clear conscience.
The cost of a roof replacement in New Orleans has risen dramatically – material prices are up about 40% in the last 24 months, with labor costs also up. In 2026, the cost to replace a roof for a typical single-family home in the Greater New Orleans area ranges from $12,000 to $25,000+. Older historic homes could require extra permits or historically accurately materials. Simplex Roof offers written estimates with itemized costs so you know up front how much everything will cost – there are no hidden fees. We also have financing options as low as $99/month and help filing insurance claims to cover costs in cases of storm damage.
Financing Options
Whether your new roof is the result of a planned project or because of unexpected circumstances, it can represent a significant, but necessary, home investment. A roof helps to keep your home and family protected from the elements.
We have multiple financing options for you that include 0% interest, 12 months of no payments, and even extended payment plans to fit your budget.
