What Affects Rates in Metairie
- September, June, and August see the highest tropical storm activity across Jefferson Parish, driving demand for wind-rated shingles and contractor availability constraints during peak months.
- A December 2022 EF2 tornado moved northeast from Luther Drive causing significant roof damage to three homes near Betty Street and Deana Street in Kenner. A January 2023 tornado moved through marsh areas north of Barataria Boulevard, crossing from Lake Salvador into residential zones.
- Jefferson Parish logged thunderstorm wind as the most frequent event type over the last five years, with shingle blow-off and flashing damage reported across single-family homes built in the 1970s and 1980s.
- The median year built for homes in Jefferson Parish is 1974, meaning many roofs are approaching or past their second replacement cycle and more vulnerable to hurricane and wind damage.
