Hiring a roofer in Lake Charles: what this page knows

Licensing for roofers working in Lake Charles
Louisiana does not license roofers as a trade at every job size. A state contractor credential becomes necessary once a project reaches $7,500, and it is issued by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors.
Below that figure a Lake Charles roofer needs no state license — but the threshold is about state licensure only. It never exempts the work from a permit and an inspection through Calcasieu Parish or the city.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Oct 27, 2021 -- Tornado (EF2) -- $2.50M property damage reported
- May 9, 2019 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 3.00 in) -- $10.00M property damage reported
- May 9, 2019 -- Hail (Baseball hail, 2.50 in) -- $36.00M property damage reported
- Oct 31, 2018 -- Thunderstorm Wind (70 kt gust)
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $52,519,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Calcasieu Parish over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
