Many contractors do not realize just how much Louisiana roofing laws have changed.🤔
Our latest blog post by our Baton Rouge attorney Erin Bagent breaks down the new requirements around permits, licensing, contracts, and the added risks for anyone working on storm-damaged or insurance-funded properties. These issues often don't surface until payment is withheld or a dispute arises, and by then they can be costly or impossible to fix.

Congratulations to Ted Laperouse and Mackenzie Walters!👏

The arbitrator in a vigorously contested arbitration dispute between a roofing subcontractor and the general contractor on a project for the US Army Corps of Engineers handed down an award in favor of our client in excess of $410,000.00 this past week.

The dispute centered on a misinterpreted engineering note and the contention that the prime contractor inhibited and prevented the client from performing its anticipated contract obligations.

The prime contractor had initially filed its own claim for more than $1.5 Million after it wrongfully terminated the roofing subcontractor, but the award denied any affirmative relief on such claim.

Laperouse Kennedy, P.C. is proud to have delivered such a win on behalf of one of its most-cherished subcontractor clients and its surety.
