The program covers a defined list of eligible parishes, and that list expanded in 2026.

Always confirm eligibility directly with the Louisiana Department of Insurance, and we are glad to help you check.

Even without a grant, FORTIFIED pays off

Serving all of South Louisiana

Acadiana Roof Restoration works throughout South Louisiana from our home base in Scott. We serve Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and communities across the region, including Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, Scott, New Iberia, Opelousas, Breaux Bridge, Denham Springs, Prairieville, Central, Houma, Lake Charles, and Alexandria. Our climate is hard on roofs: sun, humidity, wind-driven rain, and the annual hurricane threat age shingles faster than the national average and put insurance coverage under pressure. That local experience shapes every recommendation we make.

Restoration first, always

Most roofing companies profit from replacement, so replacement is the answer they reach for. We built our company around a different question: can this roof be saved? As Louisiana's only 5-Star Roof Maxx dealer, we can often restore an aging but structurally sound asphalt roof at a fraction of replacement cost, and when a roof truly is past saving we build the replacement to the IBHS FORTIFIED standard that earns a required insurance discount. Either way, you get an honest answer and a plan that fits your budget and your coverage.
