Homeowners Insurance on the Northshore.
Independent homeowners coverage across St. Tammany Parish — where a Covington home and a Slidell home carry genuinely different risk, and should not be quoted the same way.

the Northshore
Local homeowners insurance, built for St. Tammany Parish.
One parish, very different risk
St. Tammany contains eight incorporated communities, and the spread between them is wide. Parish modelling puts worst-case flood depths near 18 feet for the lakefront communities and 5 to 7 feet for interior towns like Covington. Elevation falls steadily from the northwest of the parish down to the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline. Quoting the Northshore as one market gets it wrong.
Wind, however, is shared
Every part of the parish carries the wind exposure. St. Tammany estimates a 100% annual chance of a tropical cyclone, attributes 15 of its 23 federal disaster declarations to them, and rates the entire parish at high risk from high winds and wind-borne debris. Hurricane-force gusts reached the north shore during Ida.
A growing parish in a strained market
St. Tammany's population grew about 11.4% between 2010 and 2019 and its housing stock roughly 40% between 2000 and 2018, much of it along the I-12 corridor. Newer construction helps at underwriting, but Louisiana's statewide market strain reaches here too — so we shop multiple carriers and can access Louisiana Citizens when needed.

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How much you save depends on your carrier, your home, and the wind-and-hail portion of your premium, so we do not quote a fixed figure here.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