Roofing Services in Lacombe
Roof repair in Lacombe
From the LA-434 interchange down to the bayou lots, rusted flashing or a damaged vent found during a repair gets a replacement quote. More on roof repair.
Roof replacement in Lacombe
Reroofs here run $13,000 to $23,000 for 2,000 to 2,500 square feet, and a raised house, with its taller eave and extra staging, prices toward the upper end. See roof replacement.
FORTIFIED roofing in Lacombe
Because the parish permit requires the FORTIFIED certificate upon completion when a roof is installed to that standard, our installation records serve both files. See FORTIFIED roofing.
Insurance claim roofing in Lacombe
After a tree strike, our claim scope shows the adjuster on both sides of the deck, a drone above, and the attic below. See insurance claim roofing.
Storm damage roof repair in Lacombe
Lacombe is pine country: in 2026, Tropical Storm Arthur dropped a pine through the pavilion at the Lemieux Center at Big Branch Marsh refuge. A strike like that gets a deck check under the impact. See storm damage repair.
Hail damage roof repair in Lacombe
Hail bruising is hard to read from the ground, so on a Lacombe call we go up and check the marked shingles by hand. See hail damage repair.
Asphalt shingle roofing in Lacombe
The parish permit names the wind-test classes a shingle must carry, and we spec Lacombe reroofs from architectural lines that meet them. See asphalt shingle roofing.
Standing-seam metal in Lacombe
On a house facing open marsh, standing-seam panels keep their fasteners under the seams, out of the wind-driven rain. See standing-seam metal.
Composite slate in Lacombe
On a raised Lacombe house, DaVinci composite slate is one of the coverings we price. See composite slate.
Roof inspection in Lacombe
Inside the parish's coastal resilience zoning south of US-190, a buyer's pre-purchase roof report belongs on the same checklist as the flood-zone questions. See roof inspection.
Leak detection in Lacombe
Hurricane Ida left about 10 inches of rain on a gauge just north of Lacombe in 2021, enough to find seams ordinary showers miss. See leak detection.
Emergency repair and tarping in Lacombe
A tree still lying on the roof has to come off before a tarp can go on, so mention it when you call during business hours. See emergency repair.
Bayou, Marsh, and Lake Surge
Below US-190, Bayou Lacombe turns brackish on its way to Lake Pontchartrain. Between Lacombe and the lake lies Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, more than 18,000 acres of marsh, cypress-tupelo forest, and pine savannah that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service credits with helping buffer nearby communities from storm surge.
The lake still gets in. During Hurricane Isaac in 2012, a gauge on Bayou Lacombe recorded an estimated 6.5 feet of surge, and parish officials counted 326 homes in Lacombe damaged or flooded. Seven years earlier, Katrina had pushed Lake Pontchartrain over a road in Lacombe.
The parish response has been to build up. A May 2025 coastal resilience ordinance for the low ground south of US-190 requires new homes to sit 3 feet above base flood elevation (the flood height FEMA maps for the site) and, with few exceptions, bars dirt fill, so new houses get their height from the foundation. That lifts living space higher and puts the roof higher into the wind. Wind load climbs with height above grade, and with open exposure to water, so a Lacombe roof's deck attachment and edges come first.
Lacombe, Asked and Answered
Our house was raised after a flood. Does that change the reroof?
Yes, in two ways: the crew stages higher, and we check from the attic how the roof is tied to the walls.
Which carriers do you see on Lacombe claims?
Carriers we work with include State Farm, Allstate, National General, Louisiana Citizens, USAA, and private insurers.
Can we see the photos of our reroof?
Yes. Your job is logged in CompanyCam as the work goes, decking, underlayment, and flashing stages included, and the photo record is yours to keep.
Can a third-party inspector keep a Lacombe reroof moving?
The parish accepts third-party inspections for its permits, but a parish-employed inspector must still approve each report, and work cannot continue until the report is approved.
What the Parish and the Adjuster Each Get
St. Tammany Parish permits
Lacombe roofs are permitted by the St. Tammany Parish Department of Permits and Inspections on Koop Drive in Mandeville. The residential roofing permit requires a signed contract with roof specs, replacement of rusted or damaged flashing and vents, and geotagged photos of the decking, underlayment, nailing, flashing, and each finished side. We pull the permit.
Your adjuster's file
Louisiana RS 22:1684 bars roofers from serving as public adjusters, so we do not negotiate or settle claims. For a Lacombe claim, we supply the evidence: drone and attic photos, measurements, a written scope, and a crew member at the adjuster's roof visit on request. No contractor may legally cover or waive a deductible in Louisiana.
Holding the Roof Down
A FORTIFIED roof follows the IBHS wind standard, which places most of its emphasis on how the deck and edges are secured. Joey holds three IBHS FORTIFIED credentials. Homeowners picked in a Louisiana Fortify Homes lottery round could receive up to $10,000 toward a certified roof if the grant was awarded before work started, and St. Tammany Parish was on the Round 9 list; fortifyhomes.la.gov announces any later round. Insurers apply a premium discount once certification is in hand. Epic is a state-approved Fortify Homes contractor.
