Metal Roofing in New Orleans, LA
Standing seam and metal panel roofing built to withstand Gulf Coast hurricanes, installed by a 30-year local contractor, not a national chain.
Built for Wind, Rain, and 25 More Hurricane Seasons
Standing seam and metal panel systems are among the most storm-resistant roofing options available in Louisiana, engineered to shed wind uplift far better than asphalt shingles, which matters when you’ve watched a storm season turn a roof into debris.
Augustino Brothers has installed roofing across Greater New Orleans for 30 years, through Katrina, Ida, and everything since. When a metal roof is installed to FORTIFIED standards, it can also qualify homeowners for the Louisiana Fortified Home Grant Program, up to $10,000 toward the project, plus years of insurance premium discounts.
Metal roofs aren’t just for barns and warehouses anymore, standing seam is now one of the most requested upgrades among New Orleans homeowners rebuilding after storm damage, precisely because it outperforms asphalt in the two ways that matter most here: wind uplift resistance and lifespan. A properly installed standing seam roof is rated for sustained winds well above what a typical asphalt shingle can handle, and it isn’t unusual for a metal roof to outlast two or three shingle replacements over its 40- to 70-year service life.
We install both standing seam and exposed-fastener panel systems, matched to your budget and the look you’re going for, standing seam hides its fasteners under raised seams for a cleaner profile and longer warranty life, while exposed-fastener panels cost less upfront and still perform well on outbuildings, porches, and commercial structures. Either way, we spec coatings and gauge thickness with New Orleans’ salt air and humidity in mind, not a generic national spec sheet, corrosion resistance matters more here than it does inland.
Metal costs more upfront than asphalt shingle, and we tell every homeowner that plainly before they commit, but the math tends to work in your favor over time: lower maintenance, better wind performance, and, when installed to FORTIFIED standards, eligibility for Louisiana’s Fortified Home Grant Program. With Louisiana law requiring insurers to offer a minimum 30% wind/hail premium discount for FORTIFIED homes starting January 1, 2027, a metal roof built to that standard is increasingly a financial decision as much as a durability one.

Metal Roofing FAQ
Most metal roofing projects in the Greater New Orleans area run between $12,000 and $30,000 depending on roof size, panel style, and any structural repairs needed underneath. We provide a free, itemized estimate before any work begins.
It can, when installed to IBHS FORTIFIED standards. As a registered FORTIFIED contractor, we can install your metal roof to meet those requirements, which may qualify you for the Louisiana Fortified Home Grant Program and years of insurance premium discounts.
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40 to 70 years, even with the Gulf Coast’s combination of intense UV exposure, heavy rain, and hurricane-force winds.
Not when installed correctly. With solid decking and proper insulation underneath, a metal roof is no louder than asphalt shingles during rain or hail.
Sometimes, but we inspect the existing deck first. After 30 years in this market, we’ve found a full tear-off is usually the better long-term choice in hurricane country, since it lets us address hidden deck damage before it becomes a bigger problem.
