Storm Damage Roofing in New Orleans, LA
Hurricane season runs June through November and BH Roofing NOLA runs an emergency response crew the whole time. We tarp damaged roofs across New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, and Chalmette, we document damage for your insurance carrier, and we handle full storm-damage replacements once your claim is approved.
Hurricane Roof Damage in New Orleans — What to Do First
After a named storm, your first call should be to your insurance carrier to open a claim — even if you can’t see obvious damage from the ground. Your second call should be to a licensed local roofer who will actually be in town to meet your adjuster. We are based in New Orleans, we don’t leave after a storm, and we’ve worked claims with every major Louisiana carrier — State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Louisiana Citizens, UPC, and the others.
Wind damage in our market typically shows up as creased or lifted shingles on the windward slope, missing ridge caps, displaced flashing, and torn underlayment. Hail damage looks different — small round bruises where granules are knocked off the shingle, exposing the black asphalt mat. Both are covered under most Louisiana homeowner policies.
How BH Roofing NOLA Handles Your Storm Claim
We come out within 24–72 hours of your call (faster in active storm response), climb the roof safely, and take comprehensive drone and close-up photography. We produce an Xactimate-formatted scope of loss your adjuster can work from directly. When the adjuster comes out we meet them on the roof — that single step is the difference between a claim being approved and being denied for ‘insufficient damage.’
Once your scope is approved, we order materials, pull the City of New Orleans (or applicable parish) permit, and schedule the install. You pay only your deductible — never the deductible plus extras. It is a Louisiana felony for a contractor to ‘absorb’ or rebate your deductible, and any roofer offering that is a red flag.
Why Local Matters After a Louisiana Hurricane
After every major Gulf hurricane, out-of-state storm-chaser crews flood New Orleans with door-knockers, magnetic truck signs, and promises to ‘waive your deductible.’ Most of them are unlicensed in Louisiana, they don’t pull permits, and they’re back in Texas or Florida by the time your roof starts leaking the following spring. By then there’s no one to call and no one local to honor the warranty.
BH Roofing NOLA is headquartered in New Orleans, holds Louisiana State License #56071, and answers the phone year-round — not just during storm season. When you choose a local, licensed roofer for storm-damage work in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, or St. Tammany Parish, you get someone who will still be here for the next claim, the next inspection, and the next conversation with your insurance carrier.
