Premier South has protected Louisiana properties for more than 15 years, and Mandeville remains one of our primary Northshore markets. We serve homes and businesses throughout Mandeville and nearby communities along Lake Pontchartrain, Highway 22, Causeway Boulevard, and the I-12 corridor. Our installation teams are company employees, we never hand your project off to outside subcontractors.
When replacement becomes necessary, many homeowners benefit from upgrading to a FORTIFIED roof. A state grant program can offset a portion of the added cost. Details appear later on this page.
We provide both residential and commercial roofing throughout St. Tammany Parish.
We begin every replacement with a full tear-off to the deck. Our team checks for damaged or deteriorated sheathing before installing the new system. Fresh materials go over a clean surface for better performance and longer service life. All asphalt shingle roofs receive hand-nailed fastening for superior resistance to Louisiana wind.
From minor ceiling stains to obvious storm damage, we identify the true source of the problem before recommending work. Common repairs include wind-lifted shingles, failed flashing, cracked pipe boots, valley issues, ridge vents, and chimney penetrations typical of local homes.
Complimentary inspections help owners make clear decisions. We will tell you if the roof still has useful life left, if targeted repairs are enough, or if full replacement is the smarter long-term choice, always backed by photos and written notes.
Standing seam and exposed-fastener metal systems are available for Mandeville homes. Because we fabricate panels in our own shop, we can supply custom lengths, a wider color selection, and faster turnaround than special-order materials allow.
We work directly with builders and homeowners on new residential projects across the Northshore. Systems are selected and installed to satisfy local codes, wind-load requirements, and long-term performance expectations.
Effective water control protects both the roof and the foundation. We form seamless gutters on site for an exact fit and can add guards, downspouts, and related drainage components as needed.
Following hurricanes, hail, or severe storms, we perform detailed inspections, document findings, install temporary protection when required, assist with insurance claims, and complete full restoration. Our goal is to help owners understand the actual damage and avoid unnecessary work.
Full replacement services for offices, retail centers, warehouses, industrial buildings, churches, schools, and multi-family properties. We schedule work to limit disruption while delivering durable systems.
Persistent leaks, storm damage, and aging membranes are diagnosed and corrected with targeted repairs that extend service life whenever practical.
Planned inspections and preventative care help property managers catch small problems early, reduce emergency calls, and support warranty compliance.
Metal systems built for commercial use that deliver long service life, low upkeep, and strong resistance to South Louisiana weather.
Roofing for new commercial projects coordinated with general contractors, architects, and project managers so schedules stay on track.
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) is administered by the Louisiana Department of Insurance. It provides homeowners with grants of up to $10,000 to rebuild a roof to the FORTIFIED standard created by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. A FORTIFIED roof is specifically engineered to remain attached to the house during hurricane-force winds, the single most important factor in whether a home survives a major storm without catastrophic damage.
Louisiana currently leads the nation in the number of FORTIFIED roofs being installed.
St. Tammany is eligible, and the map expanded
St. Tammany Parish qualifies for the program. In the 2026 funding round, eligibility was expanded within the parish to cover additional areas that previously were not included. If you were told in an earlier round that your Mandeville address did not qualify, it is worth checking the current map again at FortifyHomes.La.Gov. Your property may now be eligible.
How the money works
The rules that commonly disqualify homeowners
These are the issues we see cause the most problems:
The tax credit is a separate program
Many people confuse the two. Louisiana also offers a tax credit of up to $10,000 per residence for qualifying FORTIFIED upgrades. In most cases you cannot claim both the LFHP grant and the tax credit on the same roof. For roofs certified in 2025, the Department of Revenue application deadline was June 30, 2026.
As of Act 32 of the 2025 legislative session, the LFHP grant amount itself is exempt from Louisiana individual income tax for grants received on or after January 1, 2025.
How FORTIFIED affects insurance
Louisiana law requires insurance companies to provide premium discounts for homes that receive a FORTIFIED designation. Reported average savings are around 22%, although the actual percentage depends on the specific carrier and policy. We recommend confirming the exact discount with your insurance agent.
Even without the grant, a FORTIFIED roof often makes financial sense in St. Tammany once the long-term insurance savings are considered. If your current roof is already failing, waiting on a future lottery is not a reliable plan. Build to the FORTIFIED standard, claim any assistance you qualify for, and register for the next grant round when it opens.
We prepare the contractor estimate required for an LFHP application, coordinate the IBHS evaluator inspection, and handle the certification paperwork. More on our FORTIFIED work →
One of the questions we hear most often is, “How much will a new roof actually cost?” The honest answer is that no two roofs are the same. Two homes with identical square footage can still require very different amounts of labor and materials depending on design complexity and current condition.
Several factors affect the final investment:
Focusing only on the installation price often misses the bigger picture. It is usually more useful to consider the total lifetime cost of the roof.
A lower-priced system may need more frequent repairs, wear out sooner, or provide weaker protection against Louisiana’s intense sun, heavy rainfall, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds. In contrast, investing in quality materials, proper ventilation, and skilled installation typically reduces future maintenance, improves energy efficiency, and pushes the next replacement much farther into the future.
The lowest bid is rarely the lowest-cost roof over the life of the home. The real goal is to select a system that delivers the best long-term value rather than the cheapest upfront price.
That is why every estimate we prepare starts with a thorough inspection and recommendations tailored to the specific conditions of your property instead of a generic per-square rate.
Most roof replacements now require a permit. Louisiana has tightened enforcement, and parishes and municipalities that issue building permits are expected to treat the majority of re-roof projects as permitted work that needs inspection.
The days of a contractor offering to “just do the roof, skip the paperwork, and finish faster” are over. A contractor who still makes that offer is telling you something important about how they operate.
Premier South pulls the permit as part of the job. The cost is included in our quote. You do not have to handle the paperwork yourself.
We can also prepare the contractor estimate required for a Louisiana Fortify Homes Program application, coordinate the IBHS evaluator inspection, and manage the certification paperwork.
Read what our customers have to say.
In the established neighborhoods closer to the lake and along the older corridors, you find homes with steeper pitches, more complex roof lines, original decking, and architectural details worth preserving. These roofs often need someone who has seen them before. Slippery sheathed decking, cut-up valleys, and aging chimney flashing are common issues that a crew is discovering for the first time on your house.
Our on-site metal fabrication allows us to create custom flashing, valley metal, and drip edge tailored to your roof’s exact dimensions. Instead of relying on standard, pre-formed profiles, we shape each piece for a precise fit and reliable protection.
Out along Highway 22, Causeway Boulevard, and the developments spreading near the I-12 corridor, you see more standard framing with architectural shingles. These homes are newer but still fully exposed. Northshore properties take the full force of Gulf weather once a system pushes north past Lake Pontchartrain.
St. Tammany’s design wind speed under current standards sits in the 140–150 mph range for typical residential risk category — higher than many inland parishes. That is not a minor detail. It is why nailing pattern and fastener seating actually matter here, and it is why we hand-nail.
Thousands of satisfied customers reflect our commitment to dependable service, honest work, and fair pricing. We take pride in our hand-nailed roofing techniques, careful attention to every detail, and use of quality materials to deliver lasting performance and durability.
We hand-nail every shingle to ensure secure placement, proper nail positioning, and consistent installation quality.
Our in-house roofing crews bring experience and consistency to every project, with many team members working with us for over a decade.
We offer financing options and flexible payment plans to help make your roofing project more manageable.
Most residential replacements are completed in 1–3 days depending on size, complexity, and weather. We give a clear timeline before work begins.
No. The contractor must hold the proper roofing license and follow IBHS standards. A basic home-improvement license is no longer accepted for FORTIFIED work in Louisiana.
It depends on the exact location of the property. We determine the correct authority and pull the permit as part of our service.
We base the recommendation on the actual condition of the roof, remaining useful life, and long-term cost. We show you photos and explain the reasoning so you can decide with clear information.
Yes. We document storm damage thoroughly and work with homeowners throughout the claims process when needed.
Not always. Many leaks can be repaired if caught early. We diagnose the source first and only recommend replacement when it is the better long-term solution.
