If you need a new roof, now is the perfect time to upgrade to the storm-resistant FORTIFIED™ standard with the application period for the 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 (LFHP) now officially open. This lottery gives grants of up to $10,000 to qualified homeowners. Even homeowners upgrading on their own are finding that mandatory insurance discounts help offset the investment over time.

𝗕𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: Proactive upgrades are more critical than ever as industry data shows rising material and labor costs across the board. According to a recent @ijournal report, the average cost of a total roof replacement jumped 33% in 2025, while standard repair costs climbed 25% compared to the prior four-year average. Keeping your roof in top shape is your best defense against severe weather and rising premiums. The data shows:
⬇️ Higher Risk: Roofs in moderate to poor condition incur approximately 60% higher loss costs than those in good or excellent condition.
⬇️ National Trend: Aerial photography reveals that as of 2025, 38% of U.S. residential homes currently show moderate to poor roof conditions.
Don't wait for a storm to expose a weak spot. Be Insurance Ready by strengthening your home today! 🏠👇

@CommTemple joined @ttuckerwwl today to discuss the 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. “With the new funding, we’ll have funding to double to number of roofs in Louisiana that are fortified.”

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Explaining the importance of a fortified roof, he said a fortified roof is a stronger roof built with a waterproof barrier, better shingles and stronger nails. “The result is shingles stay on and water stays out. This reduces your losses from a storm with high winds. If you lower your losses, your premiums will be lower.”

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼: The period to sign up for the next round of $10,000 grants from the LFHP starts on Monday, June 1. Go to https://t.co/lhQ4VdpSfS for information about the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program.
