Kenner’s Roofs Deal With Lake Exposure and Airport-Corridor Growth
As the largest city in Jefferson Parish and the closest major community to Lake Pontchartrain’s south shore, Kenner has a roofing profile unlike anywhere else in the metro. Established lakefront neighborhoods near Williams Boulevard and Duncan Canal carry decades of direct lake wind exposure, while newer subdivisions closer to I-10 and the airport corridor are dealing with rapid commercial growth and different construction standards altogether.
Augustino Brothers has worked on roofs throughout Kenner for more than 30 years—from older homes near Rivertown and the lakefront to warehouses and logistics buildings serving Louis Armstrong International Airport.

Roofing Services We Offer in Kenner
Residential Roofing
Kenner’s residential stock splits roughly into two categories: older, established neighborhoods near the lake and Rivertown with homes dating to the 1960s–80s, and newer construction further south near Loyola Drive and the I-10 corridor. Lakefront-adjacent homes generally need roofing materials rated for sustained higher wind exposure; we account for proximity to the lake when recommending shingle rating and fastening pattern, not just material type.
Commercial and Industrial Roofing
Kenner’s proximity to Louis Armstrong International Airport has driven significant warehouse, logistics, and light-industrial construction along Williams Boulevard, Loyola Drive, and the airport corridor. These buildings typically run flat or low-slope commercial roof systems at a larger scale than a standard retail strip, and we size our commercial crews and material orders accordingly.
Roof Repair and Leak Detection
Wind-driven rain off the lake finds weak points other storms wouldn’t expose. We locate the actual entry point of a leak, not just the stain on your ceiling, before recommending a fix
Emergency Roof Repair
Storms coming off Lake Pontchartrain can develop quickly. If your Kenner roof takes damage, call 504-888-9715 and we’ll respond fast to stop water intrusion before it spreads into your attic or structure.
Roof Inspections
A free inspection tells you exactly what shape your roof is in—particularly valuable for older lakefront homes where wind exposure has accumulated over decades of storm seasons.
Why Kenner Homeowners and Businesses Choose Augustino Brothers
We Build for Lake Wind Exposure, Not Just Generic Gulf Storms
Kenner’s lakefront-adjacent neighborhoods see a different wind pattern than inland New Orleans or Jefferson Parish communities further from open water—fewer buildings and less tree cover to break sustained gusts. We factor that into fastening schedules and material choice, not just the shingle brand.
Airport-Corridor Commercial Experience
We’ve worked on warehouses, logistics facilities, and commercial buildings throughout the Williams Boulevard and Loyola Drive corridor near MSY and understand the scale and scheduling demands of larger flat-roof commercial projects.

Kenner Roofing Challenges We See Most Often
- Sustained wind exposure near the lakefront. Homes near Williams Boulevard and the lake see fewer windbreaks than inland neighborhoods, which accelerates shingle wear and increases uplift risk during storms.
- Aging roofs in established 1960s–80s neighborhoods. A large share of Kenner’s housing stock is now 40–60 years old, meaning many roofs are at or past their expected service life, even if they look intact from the street.
- Large-scale flat roofs in the airport corridor. Warehouse and logistics buildings near MSY require commercial-grade drainage planning and membrane systems built for scale, not retrofitted residential materials.
- Canal and drainage-adjacent flooding risk. Duncan Canal and other drainage infrastructure in Kenner mean roof and gutter systems need to handle heavy, fast rainfall without backing water up under flashing.
