Residential Roofing in New Orleans, Built Around the House You Actually Live In
If you considered a roof on a Bywater shotgun and a roof on a Lakeview ranch, they couldn’t be more different — except for the weather they’re battling. We consider each house in New Orleans individually: We take the time to examine how your home was constructed, what neighborhood it’s located in, and what’s already happened to it this year during storms before coming up with a recommendation for you. We are a crew that travels from Metairie and will be on your roof within 1-2 days of your call.
Simplex Roof came out right away and listened to my need, sent me a quote and was able to work within my budget.

Most homeowners don’t think about their roof until water is already coming through the ceiling — and in New Orleans, that’s usually months after the real problem started. A storm broke a few seal strips. Flashing pulled away at the dormer. A pipe boot cracked in the summer heat. None of it was visible from the ground, and by the time it shows up inside, the repair has often turned into a replacement.
A free inspection is how you get ahead of that. We climb your roof, document its actual condition with photos, and give you a straight answer — what needs attention now, what can wait, and what it honestly costs. If your roof has years of life left, that’s what we’ll tell you. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
Whether you need a residential roof replacement, home gutters, or a roof repair, reach out by phone or the form below. We serve homeowners throughout the Greater New Orleans area and can walk you through financing options to get started.

Your Roof Depends on What Kind of House You Have
Shotgun doubles and camelbacks (Bywater, Marigny, Seventh Ward, Irish Channel)
A shotgun's main roof is usually simple. The trouble starts at the back. Where a camelback's second story meets the lower roof, there's a wall-to-roof joint that takes every drop of rain running off the upper level.
Raised cottages and Craftsman bungalows (Uptown, Carrollton, Broadmoor, Mid-City)
These homes have deep eaves, exposed rafter tails and, on center-hall cottages, steep hips with several valleys.
Creole cottages and townhouses (French Quarter, Tremé, Marigny)
Steep side-gabled roofs, dormers, shared walls and sometimes original slate. Repairs here are slow, careful work: matching slate, re-flashing dormers by hand, and protecting a neighbor's roof that shares your party wall.

See Fortified RoofingWhat New Orleans Weather Does to a House Roof
People think that hurricanes are all here. They are the loudest portion. The roofs we rip off tell another, less dramatic story: years of rain from the wind driven sideways under the edges of the shingles; attics that heat up to a minimum of 140°F every August; and never dry decking.
Hurricane season is from June to November and storms that damage roofs in the city are not always the big storms. In October 2020, Zeta poured over the city as a strong storm and seal strips we've found that it broke on roofs without any obvious damage from the street have still looked very different. In 2021, Ida raised ridge caps and pulled drip edge up on entire blocks. While hail does appear in the spring, it is a small player compared to wind; as mentioned, if you've read about the damage hail caused to homes in Houston, it's a different problem than most homes in New Orleans have.
The two local trouble makers are under-documented. We see damage to fascia boards and roof edges at the edges of houses by Formosan termites more than homeowners realize. All year long, the beautiful live oaks of Uptown and Carrollton shed leaves, acorns, and limbs into the valleys and gutters, causing water to accumulate in the weakest spot of a roof.
New Orleans Neighborhoods We Work In
We work across Orleans Parish, including Lakeview, Gentilly, Mid-City, Uptown, Carrollton, Broadmoor, the Garden District, Irish Channel, Bywater, the Marigny, Tremé, the Seventh Ward, Holy Cross, Algiers Point and New Orleans East. If your street isn't on the list, call anyway; it probably just didn't fit.
Historic Districts: Check Before You Change Your Roof
If your home sits in one of the city's local historic districts, such as the Marigny, Bywater, Tremé, Esplanade Ridge, Holy Cross or Algiers Point, the Historic District Landmarks Commission typically reviews changes to roofing materials. In the French Quarter, that's the Vieux Carré Commission. Swapping slate for shingles without approval can stall a project or a home sale. We check your address before we quote and build the approval timeline into your schedule, so it doesn't surprise you halfway through.

Residential Roof Replacement In New Orleans
When repairs no longer make sense — typically when a New Orleans roof passes 18–22 years, when multiple sections are failing, or when a tear-off reveals decking damage that needs to be properly addressed — a full residential replacement is the right call. We assess the decking, ventilation, and flashing of your specific home before recommending materials, and we walk you through the options honestly: architectural asphalt shingles for most homes, metal for longer-term performance, and FORTIFIED-certified systems that qualify for up to $10,000 in Louisiana grants plus 20–52% insurance premium discounts. Every replacement comes with a 72-hour completion guarantee and a complete cleanup.
Residential Roof Repair In New Orleans
Most New Orleans homeowners call us for a repair that started small — a shingle in the yard after a storm, a ceiling stain that came and went, a cracked pipe boot. We come out, document everything with photos, and fix it right the first time. When storm damage qualifies for an insurance claim, we handle the adjuster coordination so your covered scope reflects the actual damage.
Gutters For New Orleans Homes
In a city with New Orleans' rainfall, gutters are not optional — they're what protects your foundation, your siding, and your roof's edge from constant water exposure. We install and repair seamless gutter systems sized for the volume New Orleans storms actually produce.
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.
