Documentation, not claim handling

Roof Insurance Claims in Louisiana

We document damage, meet your adjuster and build the roof to code. We do not negotiate your claim, in Louisiana, that is not a contractor's job.

Insurance claims

Where a contractor helps, and where the line is

Louisiana law is specific about this. A roofing contractor may inspect, document damage, provide a written scope and price, meet your adjuster on site and explain what the roof needs. A contractor may not negotiate your claim, interpret your policy for you or act as your representative — that is adjusting, and it requires a licence we do not hold and do not pretend to.

What actually moves a claim is evidence. Dated, geotagged photographs of each slope, close-ups of lifted shingles and bruised mat, attic photographs showing where water entered, and a line-item scope priced the way insurers price work. We produce all of that, and we sit down with the adjuster on your roof rather than sending paperwork and hoping.

Two things worth knowing before you file. Louisiana hurricane deductibles are commonly a percentage of the dwelling coverage, not a flat figure, so a $300,000 home with a 2% deductible carries $6,000 out of pocket. And most policies now pay actual cash value first, with the depreciation released only after the work is completed and invoiced — which means the second cheque depends on the job being finished and documented properly.

Watch out for

How storm-chasers get homeowners in trouble

  • Offering to waive or absorb your deductible — that is fraud
  • Asking you to sign an assignment of benefits before an inspection
  • Claiming to negotiate or handle the claim for you
  • Out-of-state plates, no Louisiana licence number on the contract
  • Pressure to sign today because the crew is 'in the area'
  • No permit pulled — required on every Louisiana reroof since August 2025

Our process

How the work actually goes

  1. 1

    Inspect and document

    Before you call the insurer, so you know what you actually have.

  2. 2

    You file the claim

    Directly with your carrier. We give you the photographs and the scope.

  3. 3

    Adjuster meeting

    We are on the roof with them, pointing at the damage and the code items.

  4. 4

    Build and close out

    Permitted install, final invoice and photo record so depreciation is released.

Financing

A new roof is a monthly number, not a lump sum

Most homeowners replace a roof once. Paying for it in one go is the part that stalls the decision, so we quote the monthly figure alongside the total and let you decide which one you're solving for.

Rates and terms come from our lending partner, we publish the real numbers once you've seen the estimate, never a teaser rate.

Typical replacement

$180–$320/mo

The wedge

Deductible is the hurdle, not the roof.

If the out-of-pocket number is the problem, financing spreads it across monthly payments with a soft-pull pre-qualification.

Questions

Answers before you call

No — and be wary of anyone who says they will. Negotiating a claim on your behalf is adjusting, which requires a Louisiana licence. We document damage, price the scope, meet your adjuster and build the roof.
