Slidell
Local homeowners insurance, built for St. Tammany Parish.
The Northshore city that took the worst of Katrina
When Hurricane Katrina pushed Lake Pontchartrain north, high-water data indicates a storm surge of 12 to 16 feet along the northeastern shore from Slidell to Mandeville — higher than the 10 to 14 feet recorded on the western New Orleans side of the lake. Slidell is where the Northshore stops being the safer side of the water.
Wind exposure the whole parish shares
St. Tammany Parish estimates a 100% annual chance of a tropical cyclone, and attributes 15 of its 23 federal disaster declarations to them. The entire parish is rated at high risk from high winds and wind-borne debris. Louisiana policies apply a separate, percentage-based named-storm deductible, and we walk through that number before you bind.
A market that has genuinely tightened
Slidell carries far more flood loss history than the rest of the Northshore, which affects how the whole risk is viewed. Since 2022 a number of Louisiana insurers have gone insolvent or stopped writing statewide. We shop multiple carriers here and can access Louisiana Citizens, the state's residual-market insurer, when 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How much you save depends on your carrier, your home, and the wind-and-hail portion of your premium, so we do not quote a fixed figure here.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.
