Living in New Orleans means living with beauty, history, and weather that never plays fair. When you need roof restoration here, you’re not just fixing shingles. You’re protecting your home, your family, your business, your memories. Gulf Coast Construction understands the weight of that responsibility. We’ve restored roofs after hurricanes, helped families prepare for storm season, and strengthened historic homes that need extra care in this climate.
We know the fear that comes when the radar turns red. We know the pressure of humidity and heat slowly breaking down an aging roof. And we know the relief of hearing rain hit a roof you trust.
That’s the peace of mind we deliver.
Our Roofing Restoration Services in New Orleans
Residential Roof Restoration
New Orleans homes carry character — from Uptown cottages and Lakeview rebuilds to Gentilly ranch homes, Algiers Point bungalows, and historic properties along Esplanade. Each style faces its own roofing challenges, and every one of them deserves protection built for this region.
We handle:
Shingle Replacements and High-Wind/Hurricane-Rated Upgrades
Tile, Metal, and Slate Roof Restorations (perfect for older NOLA homes)
Flat Roof Systems for Modern Builds & Traditional Shotgun Homes
Skylight, Gutter, Soffit, and Fascia Enhancements
Your home shelters everything that matters. We make sure your residential roof keeps doing that, no matter the season.
Commercial Roof Restoration
From warehouse roofs along Jefferson Highway to restaurants in Mid-City and offices near Downtown, New Orleans businesses need reliable protection. A small leak in this climate can become a shutdown. That’s why our commercial services focus on durability, energy efficiency, and fast, no-nonsense repairs.
Our services include:
Leak Repairs, Moisture Control, and Preventative Maintenance
Flat Roof Coatings That Perform in Heat and Humidity
Metal Roof Restoration for Long-Term Savings
We work quickly and cleanly, keeping your operations running even while we restore your roof.
Storm Damage Roof Restoration
Storm damage in New Orleans is different. You don’t just deal with wind. You deal with wind plus rain, wind plus debris, wind plus hail, wind plus the fear of “Is my roof going to make it through this one?”
Our storm damage services are built for that reality:
- Emergency Repairs, Temporary Protective Tarps
- Hurricane, Wind, and Hail Damage Restoration
- Complete Assessments for Insurance Claims
- Full Roof Restorations Using Storm-Rated Materials
We show up fast. We secure your property. Our professional roof restoration work helps you breathe again while the storm cleanup begins.
Why Gulf Coast Construction Stands Out
We’re not storm-chasers. We’re not out-of-state companies. We are your Gulf Coast neighbors — a team that knows New Orleans roofs because we’ve rebuilt them for years.
Here’s what makes us different:
Local Knowledge: We understand Orleans Parish codes, historic-home requirements, and the unique vulnerabilities of neighborhoods like Broadmoor, Gentilly, and the Westbank.
Expert Craftsmanship: From slate repairs in older homes to modern flat roof systems on rebuilds, we’ve seen every roofing challenge this city creates.
Weather-Resistant Materials: We use products designed for humidity, salt air, and hurricane-level wind — because anything less won’t survive here.
New Orleans homes deserve honesty, durability, and care. That’s what we promise on every project.
Signs Your Roof Needs Attention in New Orleans
Because of the humidity and constant storms, New Orleans roofs often hide their damage until it’s too late. Watch for these early warning signs:
Missing or lifted shingles (a sign wind is getting underneath)
Water stains or damp spots on ceilings
Moss, algae, or mildew (very common here)
Sagging rooflines, especially in older homes
Higher energy bills due to poor ventilation
Even a small issue can become a major leak in the next heavy downpour. A free inspection now can save you from a 3 AM emergency later.

I really like this company. They did my roof just before Christmas /2023 and did a great job! We have over 3000 sq ft under roof and the removed the old roof and installed the new roof in 2 days. Roofers were on site a 7am and worked until sundown each day. They also did a big clean-up and then a couple of guys came back on the 3rd day to do a thorough clean up. They had one of the three owners onsite each day. I am very happy with the work they did and would recommend them to anyone!!

After damage to my roof early February I signed a contract with Gulf Coast Construction & Restoration. I did not know any of these guys so please keep that in mind while you read what I have to say!

Armond and his Gulf Coast Construction & Restoration crew did a great job with our new roof. He did a great job helping us decide what our needs were and he and his guys did the rest. Armond was really quick to respond to any questions we had and made our process very easy. It is hard sometimes to decide which companies to trust to work on your home. We are very happy with the professionalism and results. Thanks!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gavin, and I was thoroughly impressed with his expertise and professionalism. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, always willing to help, and communicated clearly throughout the process. While I ultimately chose not to proceed with Gulf Coast (a decision unrelated to their services), I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of roof replacement. Their professionalism and ease of collaboration make them a standout choice.

On 11/2/24 we had a Fortified Roof installed by Gulf Coast and the job site supervisor, Kyle was so impressive with attention to details; up and down off roof supervising workers all day long; sending photos of progress to official site inspector and keeping us as owners completely up to date with progression all day long that I could not let it go by without complimenting his diligence and Gulf Coast for employing such an exemplary young man.

Roof was done on schedule, timely, and looks great. They even hand picked nails out of the rock garden, moving the rocks around to make sure they got everything. Kyle and armand were friendly and easy to work with! Gulf Coast goes above and beyond

I recently had a roof inspection by Johntae at Gulf Coast Construction, and I can’t rave enough about the exceptional service! His attention to detail and thoroughness were simply outstanding. Johntae took the time to explain everything, making me feel confident in the condition of my roof. If you need a reliable inspection, look no further! Highly recommend!
