Who Serves Kenner

Lone Wolf Roofing is a woman-owned and family-owned roofing company based in Metairie. Our office at 2882 Cleary Avenue serves Kenner. We do not have a Kenner office. Our Metairie page covers the office and its neighborhoods.
Many Kenner addresses are about 15 to 25 minutes from our office in normal traffic. Actual travel time depends on the address, Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Interstate 10 traffic, airport traffic, construction, and weather. We cannot promise a citywide arrival time.
Homeowners weighing roofing in Kenner deal with very different properties: single-family homes, two-family residences, apartments, commercial buildings, airport-area properties, and historic structures. The sections below cover what changes from one to the next. The main service areas page lists the other cities we serve.
Lone Wolf Roofing in Kenner

Rivertown Is Not University City

Rivertown is a 16-block historic district along the Mississippi River in South Kenner. Some buildings there are recognized for architectural and historical value, and the Historic District Design Commission has a role in preserving qualifying ones. Not every Rivertown property is necessarily historic or subject to the same review. Before planning a roof, confirm whether the property is inside the district and whether the materials or visible exterior changes need additional review.
University City is mostly detached houses, including classic ranch-style homes, but condition varies block by block. Chateau Estates, in northern Kenner near West Esplanade Avenue, mixes lot sizes, building ages, and past renovations. For homes like these, the roof shape, decking, ventilation, drainage, and any earlier additions decide whether roof repair or roof replacement makes sense. We assess that at the address, not by neighborhood.

Kenner Has Its Own Permit Office

Kenner is an incorporated city with its own Building Permits Office at 1926 18th Street, Kenner, LA 70062, phone 504-468-4062. Do not assume Jefferson Parish’s unincorporated re-roofing process applies to a Kenner property, and do not assume New Orleans rules apply either. Kenner’s Unified Development Code requires zoning verification before a building permit application is submitted.
The current roof-replacement threshold, required documents, inspection stages, and fees depend on the address and scope. Confirm them with the City of Kenner before work is scheduled.

Between the Lake and the River

Kenner extends from Lake Pontchartrain in the north to the Mississippi River in the south. Rain is a primary source of flooding here, and tropical systems and tidal surge add risk. Flood exposure, flood-zone status, and elevation requirements differ by address. The city maintains floodplain information, an interactive Flood Insurance Rate Map, and elevation certificates for new and substantially improved buildings. Parts of Kenner fall in mapped repetitive-loss areas, but that does not mean every property has flooded.
A roof inspection after heavy rain or a tropical event looks at the roof covering, flashing, penetrations, valleys, ventilation components, and visible signs of water entry. It cannot set a flood zone, change a property’s designation, or fix street flooding or drainage limits. If storm damage is suspected, our storm damage restoration page explains that process.

Houses, Hangars, and Commercial Buildings

Kenner also includes airport-area and commercial properties near Williams Boulevard and Airline Drive, along with Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. A commercial or low-slope roof is assessed differently from a house. See our commercial roofing page for how that work is scoped.
Highway Park has both residential and neighborhood-commercial zoning, so confirm whether a property is residential, commercial, or mixed-use before scoping a roof. Hanson City includes two-family zoning in parts, so confirm the structure type and number of units at the address. Existing roofs in Kenner may be asphalt shingle, metal, or low-slope, and no single material is standard across the city.

A Workmanship Warranty With Clear Limits

Lone Wolf Roofing offers a 100-Year Workmanship Warranty. It covers covered problems caused by faulty or improper workmanship in our installation. The 100 years describes workmanship coverage. It does not mean a roof or its materials will last 100 years. Manufacturer warranties are separate and cover eligible materials under the manufacturer’s own terms. The workmanship warranty can be transferred one time to the next homeowner. Written eligibility requirements, terms, limitations, and exclusions apply. Read the full details on the 100-Year Workmanship Warranty page.
