Kenner
Local homeowners insurance, built for Jefferson Parish.
Wind is the everyday exposure
Kenner sits behind the levee system, so the routine loss here is wind and hail rather than surge reaching the house. That exposure is real: Hurricane Ida gusted to about 90 mph at Armstrong International, which sits inside the city, and left the entire parish without power. Louisiana policies carry a separate, percentage-based named-storm deductible, and we walk through that figure in real dollars before you bind.
A 1960s–80s housing stock
Roughly two-thirds of Kenner homes were built between 1960 and 1989, and fewer than one in twenty since 2010. Roof age, wiring, and pre-modern-code construction are what underwriters actually price here — so we place these with carriers that read the whole risk rather than declining on age alone.
A tightening coastal market
Carrier appetite across Jefferson Parish has narrowed in recent years, and non-renewals tied to roof age or wind exposure have become common. As an independent agency we shop multiple carriers and can access Louisiana Citizens, the state's residual-market insurer, when the standard market declines a Kenner home.

FORTIFIED roof
A stronger roof, a smaller premium.
Louisiana homeowners can fund a wind-resistant roof and earn an insurance discount the state now requires carriers to give. We factor FORTIFIED into the quotes we shop for you.
Up to $10,000
A grant to strengthen your roof
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program awards up to $10,000 toward retrofitting an existing roof to the IBHS FORTIFIED Roof standard — a sealed roof deck, ring-shank nails, and reinforced edges engineered to stay on in hurricane-force wind. Funds are released once IBHS issues the FORTIFIED certificate.
A required discount
Insurers must credit a FORTIFIED roof
Louisiana law requires insurers to discount the wind and hurricane portion of your premium for a FORTIFIED-designated home, phased in fully by January 1, 2027. The IBHS certificate is the documentation carriers use to apply that credit.
A credit on your premium
What the discount is worth
How much you save depends on your carrier, your home, and the wind-and-hail portion of your premium, so we do not quote a fixed figure here. The Louisiana Department of Insurance publishes the current FORTIFIED discount rules, and we factor the credit into every quote we shop for a designated home.
