Large Fortified Roof Replacement in Metairie, LA

Scope of Work

The St. Germain project in Metairie was a large-scale FORTIFIED roof replacement on a residential property. Full tear-off, deck inspection, and complete rebuild to IBHS standards. Property size and coastal exposure meant careful planning and precise execution to hit the certification specs across the whole roof.

Methods & Materials

Install followed IBHS FORTIFIED Home methodology. Sealed roof deck, enhanced hip roof geometry where applicable, code-plus fastening patterns throughout field and perimeter zones. High-performance architectural shingles rated for high-wind zones. Sealed self-adhering underlayment across the full deck as a secondary water barrier for Gulf Coast storm events. Homeowners in the Metairie service area can see other completed work in our roofing project photo gallery for a sense of the quality standards applied at this scale.

Project Details

Large residential job with significant square footage that required a full crew and multi-day install schedule. Ridge cap, starter strips, and drip edge components installed to FORTIFIED specifications, keeping continuous load path integrity from the roofline to the structure below. Attic ventilation was evaluated and optimized to support long-term shingle performance. Documentation submitted to support the homeowner’s FORTIFIED designation, which may qualify for insurance premium discounts in Louisiana.
