Hot months, wet months: Haughton through the year

Haughton weather, in normals: August highs around 94°F, January lows around 36°F, measured at Red River Rsch Station, 11 miles away (1991-2020). About 52 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in April. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 35 times a year. With this much rain, roofers, gutter installers, waterproofing and drainage contractors never run out of calls, often on short notice. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.

What Louisiana asks of a business with a website

Some homework before launch:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• A trade name is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. A trade name identifies the business itself, which is different from a DBA used by an already registered entity. La. R.S. 51:211 et seq.

This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Louisiana agencies, Bossier Parish, the town of Haughton or an attorney.
