Who serves Terrytown

Terrytown is served from our Metairie office at 2882 Cleary Avenue. We do not have a Terrytown office. The trip is about 12.6 miles and usually takes 20 to 25 minutes in normal traffic. It runs along I-10 East, across the Mississippi River on the Crescent City Connection, then out the Westbank Expressway to Terry Parkway. Bridge traffic, construction, and weather can change that, so we do not promise an arrival time.
We handle roofing in Terrytown for single-family and two-family homes, and we are a woman-owned and family-owned company.

A Jefferson Parish permit, not a city permit

Terrytown is an unincorporated community. It has no city hall of its own, so permits and code enforcement go through Jefferson Parish.
The parish states that a re-roofing permit from its Department of Building Permits is required before replacing 50% or more of the roof covering on one- and two-family dwellings. The work must follow the 2021 International Residential Code. Lone Wolf Roofing handles the permit filing for homeowners when a Jefferson Parish re-roofing permit is required.
Permit fees depend on the job, so confirm the current amount with the parish. This requirement applies to residential homes, not commercial buildings. Start with our roof replacement page to evaluate a full tear-off, or visit our roof repair page for localized fixes.
When we replace a Marrero roof, we handle the permit filing, the photo uploads, and the inspection scheduling. Our inspection is not permit approval or code certification. The parish decides at its own inspection. If your roof may need a full replacement, start with our roof replacement page. For a smaller problem, see roof repair.

Homes that are now about 60 years old

Terrytown opened in 1960. Many original homes are now roughly six decades old, so the roof may already have been replaced at least once. Later development means not every house is original, so the age of your roof matters more than the age of the neighborhood. A roof inspection is the way to find out what is actually on your home. Our inspection is a visual assessment. It does not include engineering, permit approval, or an insurance decision.

Why the exact address matters

Oakwood Center, at 197 Westbank Expressway, is physically in Terrytown but uses a Gretna mailing address. ZIP 70056 is also shared with Gretna. A mailing address alone does not tell you which community a property is in, and that affects which rules apply. If you are unsure, check the address with the parish before planning work. If your property is in Gretna instead, see our Gretna service area page.

Levees, heavy rain, and what a roof can and cannot fix

Terrytown is on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. Jefferson Parish says the parish is protected by levees and that most of it sits at or below sea level, with water pumped out through a drainage system. It also says heavy rain can cause flash flooding even inside the levees. Flood exposure still varies by address, so check your own property’s FEMA and parish records.
A leak after heavy rain is not always a roof problem. An inspection can separate damaged roof covering, failed flashing, gutter problems, and moisture from the slab or the site. A new roof will not fix street flooding or drainage limits. In unincorporated Terrytown, street drainage is a parish matter. For active leaks, see roof repair and storm damage restoration.

What our workmanship warranty covers

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

Most common Terrytown roofing questions

At what point does a Terrytown reroof need a parish permit?
Jefferson Parish requires one before replacing 50% or more of the roof covering on a one or two-family dwelling in unincorporated areas. The fee depends on the job, so confirm the current amount with the parish.
Oakwood Center, at 197 Westbank Expressway, sits in Terrytown but uses a Gretna mailing address. ZIP 70056 is shared by both communities, so confirm a property’s location before assuming which rules apply.
Terrytown opened in 1960, so some homes are around 60 years old. An inspector can ask about the roof’s replacement history and check the roof covering, flashing, and penetrations. Not every home in Terrytown is original construction.
No. Street drainage in unincorporated Terrytown is a Jefferson Parish matter. A roof inspection can show whether a leak comes from the roof, but it does not change drainage or flood-zone status.
Possibly. Terrytown opened in 1960, so many homes are decades old, and a FORTIFIED upgrade starts from what is already on the house. The scope depends on the individual roof, so the first step is an inspection of that property. Lone Wolf Roofing is an IBHS FORTIFIED Roofing Contractor.
