Roofing Contractor in New Orleans, LA
Summit Construction & Exteriors provides professional roofing services throughout New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. From the historic homes of the Garden District and Uptown to the neighborhoods of Lakeview, Gentilly, New Orleans East, and Algiers, we understand the unique roofing challenges that come with living in one of America’s most weather-vulnerable cities.
New Orleans roofs face a combination of threats that few other cities experience: hurricane-force winds, torrential rainfall, intense summer heat, year-round humidity, and the salt air that accelerates corrosion near Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf. Our team has the experience and materials knowledge to install and repair roofs that stand up to all of it.

New Orleans Roofing: What’s Different
Roofing in New Orleans requires specific knowledge that not every contractor brings:
- Historic district requirements — Many New Orleans neighborhoods have architectural review boards that govern roofing materials and colors. We’re familiar with the requirements in the Vieux Carré, Garden District, and other historic areas.
- Hurricane preparedness — With the memory of Katrina, Ida, and countless storms since, New Orleans homeowners know the value of a roof that can withstand Category 3+ winds. Impact-resistant roofing systems are designed to withstand severe weather conditions.
- Humidity and ventilation — Poor attic ventilation in New Orleans’ humid climate leads to mold, rot, and premature shingle failure. We assess and improve ventilation as part of every roof replacement.
- Insurance complexity — Orleans Parish homeowners often face higher premiums and complex deductible structures. A FORTIFIED roof upgrade can save homeowners 29-49% on the hurricane portion of their premium under Louisiana’s new Regulation 136.
