Served from our Metairie office

Lone Wolf Roofing is a woman-owned and family-owned roofing company based in Metairie. We serve River Ridge from our Metairie office at 2882 Cleary Avenue, Metairie, LA 70002. We do not have a River Ridge office.
Many addresses in ZIP code 70123 are about 10 to 20 minutes from our office under normal traffic. The real number depends on the property, traffic on Jefferson Highway, Clearview Parkway, Interstate 10, and Airline Drive, plus construction and weather. We do not promise a citywide arrival time.
This page covers roofing in River Ridge for detached homes, two-family properties, and the commercial buildings around Elmwood. Our Metairie page explains more about the office that sends crews here.

River Ridge homes and Elmwood buildings need different roof assessments

River Ridge sits along the Mississippi River between Jefferson and Kenner. Housing includes detached single-family homes, older ranch-style residences, two-family properties, and newer or renovated homes. Roof systems vary by block and construction period. Residential roofs may be asphalt shingle, metal, tile, or another system, so we look at what is actually on the property.
Elmwood is mostly commercial and industrial. It sits near the Earhart Expressway, Clearview Parkway, and the river. Properties there include warehouses, office buildings, and mixed-use sites, and some may use low-slope or commercial roofing systems. A roof like that should not be evaluated like a detached house. Owners near Elmwood Business Park or the Elmwood Shopping Center can start with our commercial roofing page.

What to check on a roof after heavy rain

Heat, humidity, heavy rain, strong winds, tropical systems, and wind-driven rain all reach this part of South Louisiana. After a storm, an inspection should look at the roof covering, flashing, penetrations, valleys, ventilation components, and visible signs of water entry.
Our roof inspection page explains what an inspection visit covers. If you already know where a leak is, see roof repair. If the whole roof is in question, see roof replacement. If water is coming in now, 24/7 emergency tarping is available, and our storm damage restoration page covers post-storm work.

Near the river, the address decides the flood and drainage picture

River Ridge is close to the Mississippi River, but flood exposure and drainage conditions differ by address. We do not assign a flood zone, base flood elevation, or insurance requirement to a property without current address-based records. A roof inspection is not a flood determination.
Roof work also does not correct street flooding, drainage limits, foundation flooding, or flood-zone issues. If flood exposure is part of your decision, check the records for your address first.

Permits in unincorporated Jefferson Parish

If you are replacing 50% or more of your roof in River Ridge, Jefferson Parish requires a permit before work begins. The fee is a flat $50 processed online via MGO Connect, and no building plans or site surveys are needed. Instead of sending on-site inspectors, Jefferson Parish uses a photo-verification system where geo-tagged, time-stamped photos of four specific installation stages are emailed to EBDocs@jeffparish.net for final approval and your Certificate of Completion.

What the workmanship warranty covers and what it does not

The 100-Year Workmanship Warranty covers problems caused by faulty or improper workmanship in Lone Wolf Roofing’s installation. The 100 years applies to workmanship coverage. It does not mean the roof or roofing materials are expected or guaranteed to last 100 years.
Manufacturer warranties are separate, and they cover eligible roofing materials under the manufacturer’s terms. The workmanship warranty can be transferred one time to the next homeowner. Coverage remains subject to the written warranty’s eligibility requirements, terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. Full details are on the 100-Year Workmanship Warranty page.

Questions from River Ridge property owners

How does a roof repair differ from a replacement on a River Ridge home?
A repair addresses a specific problem area, such as a leak. A replacement covers the whole roof system. An inspection helps show which one fits the roof you have.
Yes. Commercial and low-slope roofs should not be evaluated like a detached residential roof. See our commercial roofing page.
No. An inspection looks at the roof. It does not include an insurance-coverage decision, and flood-zone and insurance questions depend on current records for your address.
Call 504-230-6512. 24/7 emergency tarping is available. An inspection then checks the covering, flashing, penetrations, valleys, ventilation components, and signs of water entry.
Not necessarily. Some properties near Jefferson Highway and Hickory Avenue use River Ridge or nearby mailing references. Confirm the municipality and address before assuming which permit rules apply.
