Roofing Services We Offer in New Orleans, Louisiana

Augustino Brothers provides a complete range of residential and commercial roofing services throughout New Orleans and the surrounding communities. Whatever your roof needs — from a minor repair after a storm to a full system replacement — we’ve seen it and handled it before.

Residential Roofing

New Orleans’ residential housing stock is remarkably diverse, from historic Creole cottages in Tremé to postwar ranch homes in Gentilly to newer construction in Lakeview and New Orleans East. Each building type brings its own roofing demands. Our residential roofing team works on homes of every size and era. We don’t recommend what’s cheapest or easiest to install. We recommend what will protect your home through the next hurricane season and the one after that.

Commercial Roofing

Our commercial roofing division serves businesses, multi-unit properties, and commercial buildings throughout New Orleans. We specialize in flat and low-slope roofing systems—the standard for most commercial construction in Southeast Louisiana—including PVC membranes, modified bitumen, and commercial roof coatings designed to extend lifespan and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Roof Repair

Missing shingles, damaged flashing, active leaks, storm punctures, and granule loss don’t fix themselves. Our repair crews locate the root cause, not just the visible symptom, and fix it correctly the first time. No band-aids, no upsells, no manufactured urgency.

Emergency Roof Repair

Storms don’t follow business hours, and neither do we. If your roof sustains storm damage or develops an active leak, call us immediately at 504-888-9715. We respond quickly to stop damage from spreading and get your New Orleans property protected before further water intrusion can occur.

Roof Inspections

Not sure where your roof stands heading into hurricane season? We provide thorough inspections with clear, jargon-free findings. You’ll know exactly what we identified, what we recommend, and why with no pressure and no manufactured alarm.

Why New Orleans Homeowners Choose Augustino Brothers

There’s no shortage of roofing contractors willing to work in the New Orleans metro area. Here’s what separates us from the field.

30+ Years in the Greater New Orleans Area

We’ve been roofing homes and businesses in Greater New Orleans since 1995. We know the local building codes, the Orleans and Jefferson Parish permit processes, the quirks of historic preservation requirements in certain neighborhoods, and — critically — how Louisiana’s specific climate and storm history affect roofing materials over their lifespans. That regional knowledge prevents the kind of costly mistakes that surface six months after a crew has left town.

Licensed, Insured, and BBB Accredited

Augustino Brothers holds a Louisiana Roofing License RL884143 and General Contractor License CL43592b. We carry full insurance and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Before any roofing contractor gets on your roof, verify their credentials. Ours hold up every time.

Straight Talk — No Runaround

Our job is to protect your property, not to manufacture work. If a repair is the right answer, we’ll say so. If replacement is necessary, we’ll explain exactly why—clearly, without jargon, and without pressure. That’s what thousands of Southeast Louisiana homeowners have come to expect from us, and it’s what you’ll get.

Local Accountability

We’re not a national franchise or a storm-chasing outfit that rolls into town after a hurricane and disappears. Augustino Brothers is a family-owned company with deep roots in the communities we serve. We stand behind every shingle because our reputation is built one roof at a time—and we’ve spent more than 30 years building it.

FORTIFIED™ Roofing in New Orleans — Real Protection, Real Savings

For New Orleans homeowners, FORTIFIED™ roofing is one of the most impactful investments available — and one of the most underutilized. Here’s what it actually means for you.

The FORTIFIED Home™ standard, developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), is an engineering standard — not a marketing label. It’s designed to make your roof withstand hurricane-force winds, hail, and wind-driven rain at nearly double the threshold of a standard roof build. In a city that has weathered Katrina, Ida, and dozens of named storms in between, that difference is not theoretical.

Augustino Brothers is a certified FORTIFIED™ roofing installer serving the New Orleans metro area. Here’s why this matters specifically for New Orleans property owners:

• Significant insurance savings. Homes certified under FORTIFIED Home™ may qualify for insurance discounts of up to 52%, depending on coverage level and carrier, based on mitigation filings with the Louisiana Department of Insurance. In a high-risk coastal market where premiums have spiked dramatically in recent years, those savings are substantial.
• Proven storm performance. FORTIFIED homes sustained measurably less storm damage during recent Gulf Coast hurricane seasons compared to identically situated homes with standard roofing systems. This is documented performance data, not marketing.
• We handle the entire certification process. FORTIFIED certification requires documented inspections, specific installation standards, and coordination with your insurance provider. Augustino Brothers manages all of it, from material selection through final sign-off.

If you’re planning a roof replacement in New Orleans, ask us whether a FORTIFIED™ upgrade makes sense for your property. In most cases, it does — and the long-term math on insurance savings alone frequently offsets the upgrade cost within the first few years.

Storm Damage and Roof Insurance Claims in New Orleans

If your New Orleans property sustained storm damage, you’re already dealing with enough. Navigating an insurance claim on top of it shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job.

New Orleans sits in the direct path of Gulf Coast storm systems. Wind-lifted shingles, blown flashing, hidden water intrusion, and attic moisture damage are facts of life here—and the damage that doesn’t show up immediately is often the most expensive kind to address later. Augustino Brothers has guided hundreds of Southeast Louisiana homeowners and business owners through the insurance claims process. Here’s how we approach it:

1. Thorough inspection. We document all storm-related damage — visible and hidden — with detailed photos and written assessments. Nothing gets overlooked.
2. Insurance coordination. We work alongside your adjuster to ensure all legitimate damage is identified and included in the scope of repair or replacement. We’ll meet your adjuster on-site when needed.
3. Honest documentation. We don’t inflate claims or manufacture damage. That protects you legally, protects your relationship with your carrier, and reflects how we operate as a business.
4. Complete restoration. Once approved, our crews execute the full scope of work to manufacturer specifications, preserving your warranty coverage.

If you suspect storm damage or have been dealing with a slow, hard-to-trace leak, call us at 504-888-9715 before you file a claim. Getting the assessment right from the start makes every step that follows easier.

New Orleans Roofing Challenges We Know Better Than Anyone

New Orleans isn’t a generic market, and its roofing challenges aren’t generic either. After three decades of working on properties across the city, here’s what we actually look for on every New Orleans roof we assess:

• Historic housing stock with non-standard geometry. Shotgun houses, Creole cottages, bungalows, and raised basements create roof configurations you won’t find in other markets. Proper flashing, ventilation, and material selection on these properties require hands-on experience and not a template.
• Heat and UV exposure. New Orleans summers are relentless. Roofing materials that perform well in moderate climates degrade faster here. We select and recommend materials with proven heat resistance and UV stability for Gulf Coast conditions.
• High humidity and attic moisture. Inadequate attic ventilation is one of the leading causes of premature shingle failure in the New Orleans market. We check ventilation on every inspection and address it as part of any replacement, because a new roof over a poorly ventilated attic is a predictably short-lived investment.
• Flat sections and standing water risk. Many New Orleans homes and commercial buildings include flat or very low-slope sections—particularly over porches, additions, and outbuildings. These are disproportionately responsible for leak events and require specialized roofing systems and proper drainage planning.
• Hurricane history and deferred maintenance. Properties that sustained damage in Katrina, Ida, or the storms in between sometimes carry unresolved structural issues that affect the roof system above them. We look at the full picture — not just the surface — to catch these problems before they become expensive emergencies.
