William and Michael worked with me to give me a hassle free smooth encounter. They explained the process before hand. They answered all my questions. They cleaned up all the debris once the installation was completed. They also told me to call them if I had any problems. The cost was the best estimate that I had received.

When severe weather strikes South Louisiana, the immediate aftermath can be chaotic and overwhelming. At FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal, we specialize in professional storm restoration services designed to stabilize your home and initiate the recovery process. Operating from our central headquarters on South Choctaw Drive, we provide rapid-response tarping and emergency repairs to prevent secondary water damage. We aren’t just a roofing company; we are a local fixture dedicated to helping our neighbors rebuild with structural integrity and peace of mind.
Effective storm restoration begins with an accurate diagnosis. Many forms of storm damage, such as “hail bruising” on asphalt shingles or wind-lifted metal seams, are invisible from the ground and often missed by standard adjusters. Our restoration experts perform forensic-level digital inspections, documenting every compromise to your roofing system with high-resolution imagery. By identifying the full scope of the damage early on, we ensure that your restoration plan is comprehensive and that your home’s long-term safety is never compromised for a “quick fix.”
Filing a storm claim involves a complex web of technical requirements and documentation. FCB Roofing acts as your professional advocate, providing insurance carriers with the line-item estimates and technical data they need to process your claim fairly. We understand the specific “matching” laws and building codes in East Baton Rouge Parish, ensuring that your insurance settlement covers a full restoration to “pre-storm” condition or better. We bridge the communication gap between the homeowner and the insurer, making the recovery process as seamless as possible.
Louisiana storms bring a unique combination of high-velocity winds and intense rainfall. Our restoration teams are experts in repairing the specific failure points caused by these events, from replacing blown-off shingles to re-seaming custom metalwork. We don’t just patch holes; we analyze how the storm affected your roof’s entire “envelope,” including the ventilation and flashing. By utilizing high-performance materials like Atlas or GAF shingles, we ensure your restored roof is better equipped to handle the next storm than the one it replaced.
The greatest risk following a major storm is hiring “storm chasers” who disappear once the insurance check is cashed. FCB Roofing offers the security of a permanent, local workshop and a team that lives and works in the Baton Rouge area. Our warranties are backed by a decade of local service, meaning we will be here to maintain your roof long after the storm clouds have cleared. When you choose FCB for your storm restoration, you are choosing a partner who is personally invested in the resilience and beauty of the Baton Rouge skyline.
Don’t leave your home’s most important defense to chance. From our office near the Choctaw industrial hub, we are ready to provide the honest, expert service you deserve. Contact us today to schedule your digital roof inspection.

We believe an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner. Whether you are curious about our custom fabrication process or the specifics of a full roof replacement, we have compiled the most common questions our Baton Rouge clients ask to help you make the best decision for your property.
Yes. FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal is a fully licensed Louisiana contractor (State License #6381). We carry comprehensive General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance on every project.

We have been a staple of the Baton Rouge roofing community for over 10 years. Unlike "storm chasers" who disappear after the weather clears, we are a locally owned and operated company with a permanent physical location. We’ve built our reputation on a decade of honest work and standing behind every project we complete.
You should schedule an inspection as soon as it is safe to do so. Even if you don't see a leak inside, high winds can break the thermal seal of your shingles or loosen metal flashing, creating "hidden" vulnerabilities that will eventu
Call our emergency line immediately at (225) 377-9771. Our first priority is "dry-in" services—applying professional-grade tarps or temporary seals to stop the water intrusion. This mitigates further damage to your ceiling, insulation, and electrical systems while we prepare a permanent restoration plan.
Generally, insurance companies cannot single out a homeowner for a rate increase due to an "Act of Nature" or catastrophe claim. Rates are typically adjusted based on the risk profile of an entire ZIP code or region. It is always better to file a legitimate claim for damage than to pay for a full replacement out of pocket later.
Yes. If your claim was denied but you have clear evidence of storm damage, we can provide a "re-inspection" report. We will document the specific damage the adjuster may have overlooked and provide the technical reasoning why a repair or replacement is necessary according to local building codes.
The physical repair or replacement usually takes 1 to 2 days. However, the insurance "supplementing" and approval process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We stay in constant communication with you throughout this period to ensure the project stays on track and your home remains protected.
