🌪️ Storm Season in Southeast Louisiana: What Homeowners in Metairie & Kenner Should Know About Roof Maintenance

When you live in Southeast Louisiana, you don’t just watch the weather — you prepare for it. Between Gulf moisture, hurricane-force winds, and sudden downpours, your roof takes more punishment than almost any other part of your home. At Olympian Roof, we help Metairie and Kenner homeowners stay ahead of storm season with maintenance practices that keep roofs strong, watertight, and ready for whatever the clouds bring.

🏠 Why Storm-Ready Roofing Matters in Metairie and Kenner

Every year, heavy rain and high winds expose weak spots — missing shingles, loose flashing, clogged gutters, or unsealed vents. Even minor roof issues can let water infiltrate decking, insulation, and ceilings, leading to costly interior repairs. In neighborhoods from Airline Park to Chateau Estates, small leaks often go unnoticed until the next tropical system hits.

Regular roof inspections help identify:

• Lifted shingles from wind pressure

• Granule loss that shortens shingle lifespan

• Cracked pipe boots or flashing around penetrations

• Blocked gutters and downspouts causing ponding near fascia

• Insufficient attic ventilation that traps heat and moisture

  
  

🔍 Mid-Season Roof Check: A Smart Investment

Storm season in Louisiana typically runs June through November, but preparation should begin before the first advisory. Homeowners can:

• Schedule a professional inspection each spring or early summer.

• Trim nearby trees to prevent limb impact.

• Clean gutters and make sure water drains away from the home.

• Check attic insulation to prevent condensation and rot.

• Ensure your ridge vent and drip edge are intact for proper airflow and runoff.

  
  

At Olympian Roof, we use Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles and Bullet Boots to give your roof extra protection against Louisiana’s unpredictable weather.

🧰 After the Storm: What to Look For

Once a storm passes, it’s tempting to assume your roof “looks fine.” But hidden damage can appear weeks later. Look for:

• Missing shingles or pieces in your yard

• Discoloration or soft spots in ceilings

• Loose ridge caps or flashing

• Sagging gutters or fascia boards

  
  

If you suspect storm damage, don’t climb the roof yourself — call a licensed, insured local professional. Our team can document every issue with photos and help you navigate insurance claims quickly and accurately.
