Roofing & concrete in Harvey.
For a Harvey project, start by drawing the work limits. A roof replacement needs a clear documentation scope; a driveway that reaches the street may need a separate right-of-way review.
Plan my project Sources checkedMark where private paving meets the street
Jefferson Parish’s residential driveway guidance addresses work involving the public right-of-way. For an applicable Harvey address, identify the apron, sidewalk and road connection before defining the paving limits.
Ask how the finished elevations meet the existing street and adjoining surfaces. Replacing the visible slab without addressing a known drainage problem can leave the reason for replacement unresolved.
Keep a record of roof work before it is concealed
For applicable unincorporated addresses, the parish’s reroofing process includes photographic documentation. Ask the contractor to explain the permit route and completion records before work starts. Those records are separate from any IBHS FORTIFIED evaluation.
Describe urgent repair needs to the administrator
Jefferson Parish lists rehabilitation and emergency repair information together. Tell the program what is damaged and ask which intake route applies. Do not assume a planned driveway replacement qualifies simply because roof repairs can be considered.
Give each estimate the same work boundaries
For concrete, show whether the price should cover private paving only or also a public connection. For roofing, specify whether the request is a leak investigation, targeted repair or full replacement. Comparing different work limits can make a lower price misleading.
- Mark the proposed apron, driveway and sidewalk limits.
- Share photographs of water flow after rainfall.
- Request separate allowances for hidden deck damage or unsuitable base material.

Common questions
Are Harvey driveway rules separate from parish rules?
The guidance here comes from Jefferson Parish and applies where the address and road are under its jurisdiction. Confirm both before filing a permit application.
Should drainage be included in a driveway estimate?
Yes. Ask how the proposed elevations handle runoff and meet adjoining surfaces, and whether any review or additional work is needed for the intended drainage plan.
Can a roof leak be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
Sometimes. Inspection must establish the source, surrounding roof condition and whether a durable repair is practical. The cost guide explains how to compare repair and replacement scope.
