Outstanding service from Ryson Roofing. They truly deserve five stars.
A FORTIFIED roof is a roof built to the IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standard: a sealed roof deck, ring-shank nails and stronger edges, checked by an independent FORTIFIED Evaluator. Ryson Roofing builds them for homeowners across Greater Baton Rouge. A FORTIFIED roof can lower the wind or hurricane part of your home insurance premium, and homes in eligible parishes can apply for a Louisiana Fortify Homes grant of up to $10,000. Not sure your roof qualifies? Start with a free roof inspection.
In hurricane country, an ordinary roof is the first thing a storm takes. A FORTIFIED roof is built to hold on. FORTIFIED is a construction standard from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety that strengthens the parts of a roof that storms attack first. For a Baton Rouge home, where tropical storm and hurricane warnings come from the National Weather Service New Orleans/Baton Rouge office, it is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
The payoff is twofold. A FORTIFIED roof is far tougher in a storm, and it can also lower your insurance bill, because Louisiana rewards homeowners who harden their homes. On top of that, the state offers grants that can cover much of the cost.
Ryson Roofing builds roofs to the FORTIFIED standard, whether you are planning a roof replacement or rebuilding after storm damage. We handle the details the standard demands and coordinate the evaluation it requires.
A FORTIFIED roof is one of the few home upgrades that can pay you back every year. Louisiana law requires home insurers to offer a FORTIFIED discount on the wind or hurricane portion of your premium. The exact discount depends on your insurer, your FORTIFIED level and where you live.
Here is how it works. Once your roof meets the FORTIFIED Roof standard, a certified FORTIFIED Evaluator issues a certificate. You hand that certificate to your insurance company to claim your discount. The certificate is good for five years and transfers to the next owner if you sell, which can also lift your home’s resale value. The Louisiana Department of Insurance explains the state’s wind mitigation rules, and your agent can tell you the discount your company gives before you commit. A FORTIFIED roof can also strengthen your position on future roof insurance claims, since the certificate documents how your roof was built.
Many Louisiana homeowners can get help paying for a FORTIFIED roof. The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program, run by the state Department of Insurance, grants up to $10,000 to upgrade a roof to the FORTIFIED Roof standard. The grant covers construction costs, and it applies whether you choose asphalt shingle, metal, or tile roofing.
A few rules matter. The home must be your primary residence with a homestead exemption, it must carry insurance with wind coverage, and the whole roof covering has to be replaced rather than patched. Grants are awarded by lottery, and the list of eligible parishes changes each round. In the latest round, Ascension, Livingston, Iberville and Tangipahoa were eligible, and East Baton Rouge Parish was not. Registration for that lottery is closed, and the state says new rounds will be announced later, so check the program page before you plan around a grant.
One step trips people up: apply and get selected before you hire anyone. If you start the work or sign with a contractor before the program approves you, you can lose your eligibility. Once you are selected, we can serve as your licensed roofing contractor and build your roof to spec. Grant funds go straight to the contractor, and you cover any cost above the grant plus the evaluator’s fee.
A FORTIFIED roof is not a brand or a product. It is a set of tested building methods that make a roof far better able to survive hurricane wind, and, with an optional upgrade, hail damage too. The standard focuses on the weak points where roofs often fail first.
The table below shows the core requirements that separate a FORTIFIED roof from a standard one.
Requirement | What It Means | Why It Matters |
Sealed roof deck | A watertight seal over the wood decking | Keeps water out even if the shingles blow off |
Ring-shank nails | Enhanced nails that grip far better than smooth nails | Almost doubles the roof’s hold in high winds |
Stronger edges | A wider drip edge and a bonded starter strip | Stops wind from peeling the roof up from the edge |
Impact-resistant shingles | Optional upgrade rated for hail up to two inches | Adds hail protection and can add insurance savings |
Together these steps keep the roof attached and the water out, which is the difference between a scare and a claim after a major storm.
FORTIFIED comes in three levels, each building on the one before it. The state grant and most homeowners start with FORTIFIED Roof, the level that delivers the biggest protection for the money.
FORTIFIED Level | What It Adds | Best For |
FORTIFIED Roof | A sealed, stronger, better-attached roof system | The grant program and most homeowners |
FORTIFIED Silver | Roof protection plus stronger windows, doors, and attached structures | Homes wanting protected openings |
FORTIFIED Gold | Silver protection plus an engineered roof-to-foundation load path | Maximum whole-home wind resistance |
Most Baton Rouge projects target FORTIFIED Roof, which is the level tied to the state grant and to the largest share of the insurance discount.
A FORTIFIED upgrade costs more than a standard roof replacement because of the additional materials and installation requirements the standard demands, but the insurance savings and potential grant funding can offset a meaningful share of that difference. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch, material choice, and whether any decking repairs are needed.
Roof Size | FORTIFIED Asphalt Shingle | FORTIFIED Metal Roofing |
1,500 sq ft | $8,000 to $14,000 | $15,000 to $25,000 |
2,000 sq ft | $10,500 to $18,500 | $20,000 to $33,000 |
2,500 sq ft | $13,000 to $23,000 | $25,000 to $41,000 |
3,000 sq ft | $15,500 to $27,500 | $30,000 to $49,000 |
These ranges reflect the added cost of sealed decking, ring-shank nails, enhanced edge fastening, and wind-rated shingles required by the FORTIFIED standard. The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program grant of up to $10,000 can reduce your out-of-pocket cost significantly if your parish is eligible in the current round. Roof financing is also available if you want to spread the remaining cost into manageable monthly payments. We always provide a free, written estimate after your consultation so you know the exact number before any work begins.
Building to the FORTIFIED standard requires more precision than a standard shingle install. Here’s exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Customers most often mention fast storm response, from same-day tarping to emergency repairs after wind damage and fallen branches, and help with insurance claims from Mitch Champagne and Brookes. Several reviewers say Ryson found the real cause of a leak that other roofers missed, and many describe crews who finish on schedule and pick up every nail. Repeat customers, a new-construction homeowner and small business owners also say the work has held up through storm season.

Outstanding service from Ryson Roofing. They truly deserve five stars.
Several roof shingles had been blown off by the wind, and I had no idea where to even begin with the repairs. They assessed the damage, explained the available options, and got everything fixed promptly. They demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process.

Insurance required roof inspection as part of renewal. Ryson was the only company that didn't want to charge an up front fee to look at the roof.

Even offered free annual inspections to stay on top of everything in the future.

Ryson Roofing did a wonderful job on my parent’s roof. From the inspection process, to help with insurance filing procedures, to the installation of a new roof, both Casey and Brooks were informative and professional through the whole process.

Shelly worked so hard for me every step of the way on getting my roof replaced with our insurance claim. I will always recommend Ryson Roofing because of Shelly. She deserves all of the credit and a big raise after everything she went through on our transaction 🙂
Excellent work! They go above and beyond to ensure fast communication, efficient and fair work while treating you like family. Talk to Shelly!! She’s top notch in her field and I believe there isn’t a task she can’t compete.
Ryson roofing from all office personnel to boots on the roof were completely outstanding. I would recommend Ryson roofing to anybody.
Ryson replaced my roof 7 years ago. We saw something that did not look normal. Called Ryson and Mitch and an inspector came out and inspected our roof, they saw no problems. It has given us peace of mind knowing that they stand by their work and it was just normal wear and tear. They responded quickly. We will use again.
Ryson roofing gets a 5 star rating because of their guidance and persistence every step of the way. Mitch stands out as a totally professional roofing specialist who guided us through with accuracy and patience. His knowledge and professionalism are impeccable. Shelly, Brookes and Mitch make a wonderful team that we would highly recommend. Job well done!!!
Carlos Barreto from Ryson did a great job. After multiple backs and forths with Allstate, he made sure our claim was properly settled. He then installed a beautiful new roof. Thank you again.
Excellent service, professional work and cleaned up throughly when finished !
Carlos Barreto knocked on our door one day and asked if we wanted a free roof inspection. Of course, we said yes. But what we did not expect was that we needed a total roof replacement. Carlos made working with our insurance company so easy. He helped us every step of the way from filing a claim with our insurance company, meeting with our adjuster, picking out our shingles, and supervising the roof installation ensuring a smooth transaction. We love our new roof.
Outstanding customer service. Mitch guided me through every step. Ryson Roofing is the best!

I called Ryson after my roof started leaking into my kitchen after a heavy rain. I didn't see any damage to my shingles but they found the problem right away. Turned out my roof was damaged by a previous hail storm. Brad came out and worked with the insurance people while they were doing their inspection and got me a new roof. All I had to pay was my deductible and Ryson handled all the rest. They showed up on time and finished up that day. Thanks to Brad, Jason and Shelly for handling this job professionally and quickly. If you have any roofing problems call Ryson and they will handle everything for you.
Great job from start to finish. Brad was curious and helpful through the whole process.
Brad and his team were amazing. Top Notch service before, during and after. As a facility manager I have to say they were professional through and through and will absolutely recommend to anyone with roofing needs.

I was very satisfied with all aspects of obtaining my new roof from Ryson Roofing. I was surprised and grateful they were able to work with my insurance adjuster to get full replacement approved after I had already had 3 roofing companies tell me that it was not possible! I’m pleased with the materials and installation. Roof looks great and I have not had any problems with it. Jason was particularly helpful in handling billing and communication with my insurance company to make sure everything was done properly.

Great experience with Ryson Roofing. Guaranteed to pay no more than our deductible for a new roof. All work was completed within 8 hours. Very impressed with quality of roof!
Couldn't be happier with my experience with Ryson. Nick helped me through the entire process from making the insurance claim and explaining the entire process. And followed up with everything he promised.
Highly recommend Ryson Roofing. Nick was wonderful to work with. He was involved through every step in the process and ensured everything went smooth. Carlos and crew do great work. They completed the job quickly and cleaned up very well afterwards. Give them a call!
My wife and I had been fighting with insurance for years to fix our roof. Nick stopped by our home and asked if he could perform a courtesy inspection of our roof. He results were that the roof had some hail damage. That is exactly what we were fighting insurance to acknowledge. Nick asked if he could assist us with getting our roof fixed through our insurance carrier. He added that he would do all of the leg work, including setting up the claim with insurance and coming back once the appointment was scheduled to meet the inspector and show him the damage. Well, that was music to our ears! We did not hesitate to say yes, because nothing else we have done in the past has worked. As promised Nick came out and met the inspector. Nick pointed out all of the damage to the inspector. By the time Nick finished with the inspector and once the inspection was completed, the inspector was informing us that he would be moving forward with the insurance claim. My wife and I were nothing short of AMAZED!!! Because of Nick and his dedication, my Wife and I now have a BRAND NEW ROOF!!! Nick, we truly appreciate you! Thanks to Carlos and the roofing team as well for such an amazing experience. Sincerely, Kirkland and Chawuna Parker

The Ryson Roofing team does excellent work and is very professional.
Hired Ryson for my mother’s home in Baton Rouge, was very happy with both the legwork done when dealing with the insurance company and the roof installation. I also needed a new roof on my own hone in New Iberia and asked if they would replace mine even though I don’t live in their normal service area. Ryson accommodated me again took care of all insurance company matters, plus i have a beautiful new roof. Both were replaced in one day. Can’t asked for any better than that.
Absolutely outstanding service from ryson roofing company! From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, they were professional, efficient, and attentive to detail.

I am extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of roofing services. Truly deserving of five stars!
timely, fair, quality work. Three things that most companies miss out on these days. 10/10 would recommend
When insurance company denied me for the new roof I desperately needed from severe hail damage I called Ryson Roofing. My sales rep Mitch went the extra mile and was able to get a new adjuster to come out and meet with Ryson’s inspector Brookes. Today I have a lovely new roof! Thanks guys!
Whether it's the weather or you just need a new roof, Ryson roofing has you covered.
Tyson did a great job! Roof looks great.
I am delighted that I chose Ryson Roofing to replace my home’s old roof. Not only did they give the lowest estimate for work and materials together with a lifetime guarantee, but they were also thoroughly responsive to all my concerns. The large installation crew arrived on time and worked efficiently and (pleasant surprise) with good humor. They left the work site spotless. My roof is large, low-pitched, and needed no rotten wood replaced. Under those favorable conditions and with mild weather, the crew completed the old roof’s removal, installation of the new roof, and cleanup in a single seven-hour stretch. I would encourage anyone contemplating roof replacement to call Ryson for an estimate.
Service: Roof damage, hail damage and rotten sections. New roof Highly professional, helpful, honest The guys at Ryson Roofing are the best. Mitch, Brookes and his crew, Shelly are absolutely awesome. They were so helpful and took care of everything with my insurance company. I didn't have to do anything. Mitch did all the footwork and phone calls between my insurance and kept me up to date and explained everything to me and walked me through every step. Brooke's and his crew had my new roof done in one day and even sent pictures of damages to me. They worked extremely hard and so very nice. At least 7 or 8 workers showed up about 630 am and didn't leave until after dark. They cleaned up all the mess and even covered my bushels to protect them. I highly recommend Ryson Roofing to anyone needing a new roof. Or just have questions or concerns. They will help you with everything. Thank you Mitch, Shelly and Brooke's again. Yall made everything so easy.
The work was performed and supervised professionally. The job is a messy one, but the work crew stayed on top of clean-up with at least two people picking up debris as the job progressed. The work was job was completed in 1 1/4 days.
I would highly recommend Ryson Roofing to anyone that needs roof repairs. Mitch was such a pleasure working with. He helped us throughout the process from the initial roof inspection to the completion of the repairs. Ryson will be the first call I make if or when any other problems shall come up with my roof in the future. Thanks Again.
Great roofing contractor! Shelly was helpful with every step of the process and Brooks' team did a great job on the roof replacement.
So easy to work with,, and they walk you through all the steps! Ryson did a great job putting on my new roof!
Roof looks great and you couldn't find better people to do business with.
Great experience with Ryson. Professional service from start to finish. Shelly in the office has been a blessing helping with the paper work and insurance company. Highly recommend.
Mitch at Ryson worked for months chasing insurance claim on my behalf. Extraordinary persistence, mostly on his part, paid off after 6 months when full replacement came through. 9 roofers showed up on time and were 80% complete after putting in a 12 hour day. Finished next day by 10am. Excellent cleanup. Only negative was crushing of a lot of the shrubbery but that is to be expected. Brookes supervised and ensured I was happy with new roof. Thanks Ryson Roofing.
Ryson went above and beyond to help me with my roof damage claim and get my insurance company to ok a new roof.
Ryson went above and beyond my expectations by working with LIGA (who covered our bankrupt insurance company) to get our roof paid for. They also found and fixed all the spots where wood rotting/damage had happen not covered by the insurance. Afterwards, we noticed a problem where the front corner of the roof was sagging slightly due to some old rotted wood that was missed. They came out the next day with materials and corrected it. They were very professional and responsive. They handled every single aspect of the process, and I couldn't be more pleased!
5 STARS for Ryson Roofing! The team at Ryson replaced our roof in record time! The crew did an amazing job and the roof is beautiful. Mitch, Brookes, and Shelly helped us with advice about filing our insurance claim. The work was performed before the insurance check even arrived. They helped us get the mortgage company to endorse the insurance check and were patient while our bank cleared the funds after we deposited it. There were no sneaky tricks in our business dealings. Everything went perfectly smooth, even though our insurance company went belly up and left Louisiana during the process!
Wonderful staff, works directly with insurance to take the headache away!
Great Company, the team takes care of their clients. Working step by step from the free inspection, to insurance claim all the way to install. The only out of pocket is the deductible!
Ryson Roofing was awesome!!! They did a great job, installed a beautiful new roof on my home in one day start to finish and they cleaned up after themselves as well. They worked with my insurance company and made the process effortless. I would recommend anyone needing roof repairs or a new roof to contact Ryson!!!!
It did take a while for them to get started, but that is because everyone in the State is getting a new roof practically. The morning of the installation, they dropped materials, had the trailer in place before 6 am. At lunchtime, they were wrapping it up. It is true and they work and grind with your insurance company to get everything you deserve for the expenses of repairs or replacement. I would highly recommend using them without reservations.
I love my new roof. It looks beautiful. One thing that I especially like about Ryson is that they send someone to oversee the job. The workers spoke Spanish so I couldn’t ask them if had any questions but I could ask Mike. The workers would arrive early in the morning, then Mike would arrive to make sure that everything was going ok. He would answer anything I asked. He was great! He was also there when the materials were delivered to make sure everything was there and correct. Of course I found a few left over nails in my yard but for the most, they did find or pick up all of them. We had a couple of spots that the wood needed replaced and they replaced it for us and even fixed a part of our ridge vent that needed to be wider ( I think I’m saying this correctly).
Great service. I had the same person deal with me the entire project. Excellent communication and kept me informed of everything. Fast turnaround considering how much is going on because of Ida. Fair prices and the workers did the entire roof in 1 day (just mild clean up on day 2). It rained the next day and the new roof held up perfectly. It looks great and I am very pleased with Ryson. I'd definitely recommend them.
+4Our roof was damaged when hurricane Ida came through. After several weeks of waiting on insurance for help we found out they were not paying anything. I found a flyer from Ryson Roofers in the coupon packet that comes in the mail so I contacted them. Ms. Farrah reponded back and it didn't take very long at all before we had a new roof. It looks great. Now we don't need to worry about leaks or anybody falling through should we need to blow leaves off. I highly recomm

We highly recommend Ryson Roofing, Baton Rouge!! They worked to demonstrate and properly document damages to our insurer. Our roof has many steep pitches and gables which they handled perfectly! Farrah is a true asset to the organization - patient, pleasant, & professional. The job supervisor was communicative, prompt, and on-site. This company knows their business well and seems to have the customers interest and satisfaction as their number one priority.
Ryson Roofing just replaced my roof. They were professional and communicated throughout the whole process. The installation of the roof was completed with out a problem, in a timely manner and the crew cleaned up very well after the job was done. They were able to help navigate and work with my insurance company as well. I would recommend Ryson Roofing to anyone.
Ryson evaluated my roof and helped me through the process of involving my insurance company. They were very thorough and information. I ended up having a full roof replacement done. The roofing team was professional and friendly, and everything looks great.
Ryson completed my roof replacement yesterday, and it was a very smooth process from start to finish. Farrah guided me through the entire process, and was very informative throughout. The inspector, the installation crew, and the job foreman were all very professional and courteous. They did a great job and were always willing to answer any questions we had. I would recommend to use this company for anyone needing a roof!
Ryson Roofing did an outstanding job from beginning to end. Very thorough in their evaluation of the roof and completion of the job. Arrived on time, cleaned up and couldn't have been more professional to work with. I would highly recommend Ryson Roofing!
Very satisfied with the service provided by this company.
I really appreciated the professional job the workers did on my roof. Ryson Roofing was very prompt on getting the job done. Everything was cleaned and taked away after completion of the job. VERY GOOD!!!
I want to say thanks for giving me the best price for roofing work for my house. I am pleased with the crews who did a hard work and were very considerate and friendly for me. I have suggested your number to a number of people I know and I hope you will get more customers based on my positive experience.
I like to thank Ryson Roofing for their professional and prompt service of replacing my roof. I also want to thank you for helping with my insurance when they were unable to come and do an evaluation due to the Covid-19, you were able to speak with them and supply what information they needed. Working with Mitch was easy and made the whole service smoothly.
Very impressed with the work and product that Ryson provided.
Great folks! Great work!
Every detail was easily handled by Brittany. She took the intimidation out of getting a new roof. The entire process from start to finish went very smoothly and quickly.
Rarely do you find a company that simply does exactly what they promised. Working with Brittany to get signed up for the work, they then took over. All concerns with the Insurance company were handled by them. Onsite inspection was quick and painless. They tracked every conversation, every work request discussed until we were in total agreement as to the cost and my part of it. Francisco came in with his crew at 6:30 am and worked till 5:30 pm to complete my roof, outstanding cleanup. We had damage beneath the shingles and Anthony made sure it was repaired. We are so impressed and 100% satisfied. This company is the real deal. Thank you!
We called to get our free inspection and Amanda helped us, she was friendly and helpful! Anthony came out and inspected our roof, then was there for the insurance adjuster as well. The process was smooth and professional. The roof looks beautiful and we are very happy with the result. We highly recommend Ryson. Thanks to everyone on the staff!
Friendly staffs and they have everything....
I would 100% recommend Ryson Roofing. Their staff has been extremely helpful when working with my insurance company.
They did their job just the way I expected.
My wife and I are very happy with both the process and the results of our home re-shingling by Ryson. Mr. Chad Morrow and Mr. Brookes Guay were most kind and helpful on-site and Ms. Amanda Germany ably coordinated everything from the office. As rain was forecast later in the week, the roofing crew worked very diligently over long hours (without sacrificing quality) to complete the job before the rains came. If you need a new roof, Call Ryson Roofing!
From initial contact to final check, every team member did what he or she said they would do. Showed up on time, guided me through choices and paperwork, cleaned up. Roof looks great.
We weren’t sure if we had any roof damage, so we called Ryson Roofing. Their inspector found wind damage...met our insurance adjuster on site, and made our case. Without the Ryson inspector being there to point out damage that the adjuster was walking right past, I doubt we’d have a beautiful new roof at this time! Their crew showed up early, removed the old roofing and installed the new in the same day! Our yard was left as neat as when they arrived too! Just wanted to pass on our experience with these folks!
Very knowledgeable about roofing and working with insurance companies!
VERY FRIENDLY FRONT OFFICE. HELPFUL WITH ALL MY QUESTIONS.WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
BY FAR THE BEST IN TOWN - I contacted several different roofing companies, but Ryson Roofing, by far, was the most knowledgable, professional and speedy on handling my roof installation. I would definitely recommend them over anyone else!!
Ryson Roofing was professional and first class every step of the way in replacing our roof. They did the inspection .. they did the work in a timely manner... and they worked with our insurance company... the end results was a functionally better roof than before and a better looking roof than before. Shelly and Amanda and all of the staff communicated every step of the way.. great job.. we are very please and recommend that you give them a chance.
Ryson roofing has been my best roofing experience ever. My only job was to contact my insurance company and they handle it from then on. The weather challenge them but still got it done and left my yard as they found it. Thanks Ryson and Shelly y'all are great.
My roof started leaking after a couple of hail storms. My husband went up on the roof but couldn't find any obvious damage. When the rep from Ryson came out, he showed us pictures of where the hail had damaged the roof. I had Ryson Roofing replace the roof. They worked with our insurance company to make sure that the scope of the job was properly documented for the claims department. Weather was an issue for setting a work date. That said, they came out when they said they would and replace the roof. They left a clean work site when they were finished. The roof looks great. I would use Ryson Roofing again (hopefully, I won't need to but you never know with our weather). I have recommended them to friends and family. Most recently, after hurricane Ida , while almost all of my neighbors and surrounding areas have blue roofs . Our roof on 2 houses , did Not have any damage. We did not lose any shingles on either of our houses. We are thankful that the roofing company we used “Ryson Roofing” for the 2 houses did an excellent job and our roofs did not have any damage!
Ryson Roofing did a great job on our home. They did exactly what they promised to do. They worked with our insurance company and replaced our entire roof. Big thanks goes to Shelly for being at our home to take delivery of the supplies, checking on the crew, and being available throughout the installation. When the crew finished, our yard was free and clean of all debris. Thanks also to Amanda, for handling the paperwork especially with our insurance company. We highly recommend Ryson Roofing and want to give a Big Thank You - Job Well Done!
Ryaonn roofing did a great job replacing my roof the job was done expediting the other and tje site was well cleaned before tbey left o would definitely have them reroof my house again
We had Ryson Roofing replace a roof when it started leaking after a couple of hard storms. They showed up when they said they would, the work was done on time and there were no hidden charges. The roof looks great. When they were done, the yard was as clean as they found it; actually cleaner. You can't ask for more. We would use Ryson again and have recommended them to friends.
I had Ryson Roofing come out and do my roof, and they did a good job. The job was completed within a day and they cleaned up to just as before. The roofers were real nice. I would recommend anyone to give them a call. They worked with my insurance so I didn't have to. Was such a great experience!

Call Ryson Roofing at (225) 756-8603 or request your free consultation online, and we’ll assess your current roof, explain exactly what a FORTIFIED upgrade involves, and tell you honestly whether the investment makes financial sense for your home.

A FORTIFIED roof is built to a stronger standard created by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. It uses a sealed roof deck, ring-shank nails, and reinforced edges to stay attached in hurricane-force wind. The result is a roof far better able to survive a major storm.
It depends on your insurer and where you live. Louisiana requires home insurers to offer a discount on the wind or hurricane part of the premium for a FORTIFIED roof. Ask your agent for the exact figure before you build, and keep your FORTIFIED certificate handy when you call.
Not in the latest round. East Baton Rouge Parish was not on the list, but nearby Ascension, Livingston, Iberville and Tangipahoa parishes were. The list changes each round, so check the official Louisiana Fortify Homes page before you rule a grant in or out. We can help you read the current rules.
No. You can build a FORTIFIED roof any time and still earn the insurance discount, with or without a grant. Many homeowners pair a FORTIFIED upgrade with a planned roof replacement or a storm-damage rebuild. We offer financing if you want to spread the cost.
Most can, but the roof covering has to be replaced in full to the standard rather than patched, and your home must be in good repair. During a roof inspection, we check your deck, structure, and existing roof to confirm what your home needs to reach FORTIFIED.
Shingle, metal, and tile roofs can all be built to the FORTIFIED standard. The choice comes down to your budget and style, because FORTIFIED sets how the roof is built and attached, not which covering you pick.
The state has not set a date yet. Registration for the last lottery is closed, and the Louisiana Department of Insurance says new rounds will be announced later. Until you are selected, do not sign with a contractor or start work, or you can lose your chance at the grant.
An independent FORTIFIED Evaluator, not the roofer. The evaluator checks the work during the job, and IBHS issues the certificate once the roof passes. The state keeps a list of approved evaluators. The evaluator’s fee is separate from the cost of the roof.
Five years. The certificate stays with the house if you sell it, so the next owner can show it to their insurer too.
It depends on the roof’s size, pitch and material, and on whether any decking needs repair. The cost table on this page shows typical ranges for shingle and metal roofs, and we give every homeowner a free written estimate. A grant, if your parish is eligible, and roof financing can cover part of the cost.
