Louisiana’s climate is hot, humid, and prone to heavy rainfall and hurricanes. The best roofing materials for these conditions include metal roofing, which is highly durable and resistant to wind and corrosion; architectural shingles, which offer excellent protection against rain and UV rays; and clay or concrete tiles, which are strong and can withstand extreme weather.

Given Louisiana’s unpredictable weather, it’s recommended to have your roof inspected at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. Additionally, after major storms or hurricanes, it’s crucial to schedule an inspection to catch any potential damage early.

If your roof is damaged during a hurricane, prioritize safety first by ensuring everyone is safe and away from the affected areas. Once the storm passes, document the damage with photos, and contact a professional roofing company immediately for an inspection and emergency repairs. We also recommend contacting your insurance company to start the claims process.

Some parishes in Louisiana require a permit for roof replacements. Our team at MireBuilt is familiar with local regulations and can handle the permitting process for you, ensuring that all work is up to code and compliant with local laws.
