Lone Wolf Roofings with its General Contractor License and Extensive Credentials Ensures Homeowners Full Compliance, Security, and Quality Service.

Lone Wolf Roofing, a trusted leader in roofing and construction across Louisiana, has announced its readiness to fully comply with the state’s recently enacted roofing law changes. The new legislation marks a historic step forward for Louisiana, introducing tighter regulations, stronger permitting requirements, and clearer licensing distinctions to ensure that homeowners receive safe, reliable, and fully insured roofing services.

A Historic Change in Roofing Regulation

The newly passed roofing laws eliminate the use of the Louisiana State Home Improvement License for roofing projects, replacing it with two distinct licensing pathways:

  • Residential Roofing License: Allows contractors to perform roofing replacements and repairs but prohibits them from making structural repairs, such as replacing rotted decking or repairing rafters.

  • Residential Construction (General Contractor) License: Offers unlimited authority for contractors to handle all aspects of residential construction, from complete new builds to roofing, siding, and essential structural work.

For homeowners, this shift is critical. While many roofing jobs begin as simple replacements, it is common for hidden issues like rotted wood or structural damage to be uncovered mid-project. Contractors holding only the new Residential Roofing License will not be legally authorized to fix these problems, potentially leaving projects unfinished and homeowners at risk of costly delays or insurance denials.

Clare Manale, owner of Lone Wolf Roofing, expressed strong support for the new measures: “This is a huge step in the right direction for the State of Louisiana. Hats off to State and City officials, as this mirrors what we’ve seen work successfully in Florida building codes. These laws bring peace of mind not only to insurance companies, helping them stay in our beautiful state, but also to hardworking homeowners who are investing in their property. Born and raised in Louisiana, this makes me proud knowing homeowners now have stronger protections and lasting peace of mind.”

Insurance, Permitting, and Accountability

The laws also require every roofing project to be properly permitted and inspected. Any roofing completed without the correct license or permits risks being denied by insurance providers, and in some cases, state officials may mandate a roof’s removal and replacement.

This level of oversight is designed to restore confidence in Louisiana’s housing market, strengthen building codes, and keep insurance companies invested in the state.

Lone Wolf Roofing: Licensed, Certified, and Ready

Unlike many contractors navigating the changes, Lone Wolf Roofing already holds a Residential Construction License (General Contractor License No. 5382). This license ensures Lone Wolf can legally handle every aspect of a roofing project, from replacing shingles to repairing decking, rafters, and other structural elements, without delay or legal risk.

The company’s credentials further reinforce its leadership in the industry:

  • GAF Master Elite Residential Roofing Contractor (2020–2025): A distinction awarded to only the top 2% of contractors nationwide.

  • IBHS Fortified Certified Roofing Contractor (2023–2025): Specializing in hurricane, hail, and wind-resistant solutions.

  • IKO Preferred Contractor (2021–2024), Malarkey Roofing Shingles Certified (2021–2024), Louisiana Contractor’s Association Certificate for Roofing Excellence (2022).

  • National Roofing Contractor Association’s Outstanding Workmanship Award (2023–2024).

  • 2024 Top Roofer in Metairie via Expertise.com and consistent Top 17 Roofers recognition (2020–2024).

  • 2025 Best Roofer, Best of St. Tammany, and inclusion in RoofingContractor.com’s Top 100 Contractors in the USA (2022–2024).

Protecting Homeowners and Louisiana’s Future

These reforms aim not only to raise construction standards but also to stabilize Louisiana’s struggling insurance market. For homeowners, the key takeaway is clear: choosing a contractor with a General Contractor License ensures that every potential roofing and structural need can be addressed legally, safely, and with full insurance coverage.

Lone Wolf Roofing stands at the forefront of this new chapter. With its comprehensive licensing, unmatched certifications, and deep commitment to Louisiana communities, the company is positioned to deliver roofing solutions that are stronger, safer, and built to last.
