Hammond is the commercial and educational hub of Tangipahoa Parish — and it’s also one of the more challenging roofing markets in Southeast Louisiana. Between the storm corridor that runs between Lake Pontchartrain and the north, the heavy tree canopy throughout the city, and an aging housing stock that spans everything from near-campus rentals to established family homes in mature subdivisions, roofs here deal with problems that are specific to this city. We work Hammond regularly and we know the difference.

What Makes Hammond Roofing Different From The Rest of Louisiana
When viewed on a map, Hammond’s geographic location is easy to overlook. The city is located at a funnel point where storms track northeast from the south from Mandeville and Slidell through Lake Pontchartrain to accumulate moisture and sustained wind at Hammond. Unlike the lakefront communities, however, Hammond doesn’t always make the damage reports, and roof deterioration due to storms here tends to last longer than it should.
We find on the Hammond roofs that we don’t see as often on any other roof in our service area:
Wind currents running down the I-55 corridor. The open land along the interstate and the general lack of trees and topography on the land in Tangipahoa Parish allow winds from the south and southwest to pick up speed over the land compared to the other neighborhoods further south. This pressure, called uplift pressure, is seen on roof edges, fascias and ridge caps, which is why there is a higher rate of damage to edges and ridge caps in Hammond than reported in the weather news.
Damage to trees and debris problems. Hammond’s well established neighborhoods, ranging from Thomas Street and Morrison Boulevard to older neighborhoods near downtown, are marked by well established pine, oak, and sweet gum trees. These trees can shed debris at any time of the year, including pine needles that clog in valleys and at flashing points, branches which remove shingles during windy weather and the pervasive shadow which prevents moisture from evaporating from the roof surface after the rain has ended. Algae and moss take hold quicker in this area than in areas in the sun, and granule loss after that reduces shingle lifetime considerably.
Housing in a university area that is not well-maintained. Some of the rental homes in the vicinity of Southeastern Louisiana University are converted older homes, others are designed for the student, and many of the homes have never been professionally assessed for roof. Often these are issues of deferred maintenance as part of ownership transfer or when a lease dispute brings the need for an inspection, layers of repairs over the original decking, flashings patched instead of replaced, and inadequate ventilation for attic space. It’s worth having a current roof assessment done if you own a rental property that is close to SLU, before the next storm season.
Your Roofing Project In Hammond — Honest Assessment Before Anything Else
Hammond homeowners contact us in two situations that couldn’t be more different. The first one is immediately following a storm; a tornado warning, a line of severe thunderstorms extending through Tangipahoa Parish and hail that was observed and saw marks on vehicles in the driveway. The second of these is more silent: a roof that’s existed on the house since before the last owner or a purchase condition check prior to selling or buying a property close to SLU, or a stain on a bedroom ceiling that appeared after strong rain yet later dried out.
The same first step is taken in both situations: We come out, go on the roof, take photographs of everything and tell you honestly. What is it, what does it mean, and what will be the cost of addressing it? If that is the answer, we’ll tell you that your roof still has a couple of years left in its life and that you don’t need to do anything right now. If they offer a free inspection, then it does not mean you have to purchase anything — only that you will have information to help you make a decision.
Hammond Roofing offers all the services you may need for your roofing project – residential repairs and replacements anywhere in the city and the entire Tangipahoa Parish, and commercial membrane roofing along the I-12 and Highway 190 corridors.
Roof Repair In Hammond, LA
Before you call anyone, it’s important to understand the type of roof damage that is being caused by the weather pattern that is happening with Hammond. While the tornadoes and severe storms of March 2026 may seem like a recent occurrence in Tangipahoa Parish, the damage these storms cause isn’t always visible. A raised shingle that returned to the beach. A valley that received rain in an unusual direction from the wind. If a dormer or chimney was cracked open by flushing but just enough to let it open.
We see so much damage in Hammond — it’s not missing shingles, it’s compromised shingles. This is because damaged shingles don’t reveal water damage on your ceiling until it has been leaking for several months.
Before we recommend anything to you, we take pictures of all the eaves, ridges, valleys, and every flashing transition that we come across when we come out. Jotter is there to help with damage that may be covered by insurance and we coordinate with the adjuster and prepare the photo documentation necessary to maximize your insurance claim.
Roof Replacement In Hammond, LA
Hammond’s climate produces one of the more punishing environments for asphalt shingles in Louisiana. The combination of heavy annual rainfall — Tangipahoa Parish averages over 65 inches per year — sustained summer heat, persistent humidity, and the tree debris that accumulates in valleys and at flashings means shingles age faster here than their rated lifespan assumes. We routinely do tearoffs in Hammond on roofs that are 15–17 years old and find decking that looks like it’s been wet for years.
When we do a replacement in Hammond, the first thing we assess is the decking — not the shingles. Soft spots, discoloration, and delamination in the decking beneath an otherwise functional-looking roof are the real story of how this climate treats the system over time. We price that honestly upfront rather than discovering it mid-project.
For material selection in Hammond, algae-resistant shingles with a minimum 110 mph wind rating are the baseline recommendation — not optional extras. The tree canopy and humidity here make standard shingles a liability within 8–10 years. For homeowners replacing anyway and wanting to think long-term, metal roofing handles Hammond’s debris and moisture environment better than any other residential option, and FORTIFIED certification brings meaningful insurance savings through the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program.
Every replacement includes a 72-hour completion guarantee and full cleanup. Financing starts at $99/month.
Residential Roofing In Hammond, LA
Each of the residential neighborhoods has a distinct character — and profile. Older houses have grown old and mature trees are overhead in the vicinity of downtown and Thomas Street, as decades of Louisiana weather have passed. Neighborhoods away from Morrison Boulevard and up to the north side of the city are generally newer builds, but “newer” in the case of Hammond can largely be a reference to the 1990s when many of these roofs were installed—and now are due for a thorough inspection.
These all share one common denominator – the environment they exist in. The tree canopy across the city of Hammond, coupled with an annual rainfall that exceeds 65 inches, which is one of the highest amounts in Louisiana, helps to keep roofs moist for longer after rain than would occur in open suburban areas. This continuous moisture causes algae and moss that makes shingles deteriorate far earlier than their warrantied life. Then add the wind events which happen with some frequency in Tangipahoa Parish and the heat index values which exceed 105°F during July and August, and you have a climate which demands much of every roofing system on every home in the city.
One interesting situation to note is the housing along Southeastern Louisiana University. Rental properties in that corridor frequently have never been inspected realistically during the years of their ownership, turnover of tenants, and neglect of maintenance. If you have rental property close to campus, consider having a current professional assessment of the property before this storm season. There are things that we see there on a regular basis that have been festering over a number of years and have become more of a cost than a manageable problem.
Commercial Roofing In Hammond, LA
Commercial roofing inventory — and this is a lot — is the hallmark of the commercial center of Tangipahoa Parish.The commercial roofing inventory is large — and that’s a reflection of the commercial center of Tangipahoa Parish. The medical corridor, close to North Oaks Health System, the retail and service industry along I-12 and Hwy. 190, the light industrial properties serving the distribution and logistics industry, and the Southeastern Louisiana University facilities – all of which feature flat or low slope membrane systems – have specific needs for maintenance in this climate.
Usually, the issue with commercial flat roofs in Hammond is not a serious one. It’s slow. A seam that has opened over a two season period. A partially clogged drain that is ponding following heavy rainfall. A rooftop unit with a moisture problem that has been leaking small amounts for the last year, from a flashing that was not properly terminated. It is not an obvious emergency until the inside damage has been done – inside water damage is disruption, liability and costs to a commercial space that are enormous in comparison to what the repair would have been at the time of the flood.
We install and repair commercial membranes all over Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish; repair TPO, modify bitumen, apply elastomeric roof coatings to membranes that are not yet ready for replacement, and respond to emergency situations when a severe weather incident arises. We also have pre-season maintenance programs: a checkup before the start of hurricane season, including minor repairs, for those who want to prevent issues instead of simply responding to them, so your roof is ready for hurricane season with a written report of the condition and any identified vulnerabilities addressed.
That’s where we begin if you are managing or own a commercial property in Hammond, and haven’t walked on that roof and looked at it properly for over 2 years.

Find answers to the most common questions about our roofing services.
With regular extreme weather events – such as the tornadoes and storms in March 2026 – in Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish, it’s important for homeowners to be prepared for storms. The Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) recommends the following steps after storm damage: first, notify your insurance company or agent to open a claim before work is permitted; second, photograph and video the damage before removing debris or cleaning up; include the roof edge (eaves), damaged shingles, exposed roof underlayment, lifted flashing, and any ceiling stains in the attic; third, if the roof is leaking, you can request emergency tarping for stabilization, but this is a temporary solution – not a repair decision. Hammond homeowners should be wary of storm chasing roofers that go door to door after storms; check their roofing contractor license and insurance in the state of Louisiana first. Simplex Roof is fast to respond to damage calls in Tangipahoa Parish and can document roof damage with photos to provide to your insurance adjuster.
Hammond’s high rainfall, humidity, hot summers, and Gulf Coast exposure to storms dictate roofing materials must be wind-rated and able to handle moisture. Architectural asphalt shingles are most common for Hammond homes, for their wind ratings, aesthetic appeal, and cost; choose shingles with a wind rating of at least 110 mph and an algae-resistant treatment, as Hammond’s trees and humidity trap moisture, encouraging algae and moss growth. Impact-resistant shingles are a good choice for homeowners near Southeastern Louisiana University and other areas with large trees; they protect against damage from debris and often qualify for insurance discounts. Metal roofs are also growing in popularity for porches, additions and low-slope roofs. Regardless of the type of roof, high-wind installations are critical for any roof style (with the right number of nails and waterproof underlayment to prevent Gulf Coast uplift) and more important than the brand of shingle. Simplex Roof can assist during your free roof inspection to assess your options for your unique home and Hammond location.
Yes on both counts. As of January 1, 2026, Louisiana requires anyone who contracts to do roofing work (defined as $7,500 or more; check with your local jurisdiction for smaller amounts) on residential projects to be licensed by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC) in either the Residential Roofing or Residential Construction class. For roofing work in Hammond and all of Tangipahoa Parish, a permit is also required, and all work must comply with local building codes, including wind-resistant standards for the Gulf Coast. These regulations are in place in part because unlicensed contractors often turn up in Tangipahoa Parish after severe storms, often uninsured and answerable to no one. Confirm the contractor’s LSLBC number at the state board’s website, and ask for insurance and a workers’ compensation certificate, before signing any contract. At Simplex Roof, we are licensed, insured and obtain permits for every job we take in Hammond, providing you with the paperwork your insurance agent, lender and even the next homeowner needs.
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.
