Hurricane wind is the main exposure
Like the rest of the metro, Metairie homeowners losses are driven by tropical wind and hail. Louisiana policies apply a separate, percentage-based hurricane deductible, set against the home’s insured value.
A tightening coastal market
Carrier appetite for Jefferson Parish coastal wind has narrowed in recent years. Louisiana Citizens is the state's residual-market insurer for homes the standard market declines.

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How much you save depends on your carrier, your home, and the wind-and-hail portion of your premium, so we do not quote a fixed figure here.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.
