Our Roofing Services

We cover the full spectrum of residential roofing across Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. If your search includes “roofing companies near me”, “roof repair New Orleans”, or “roof replacement Baton Rouge”, this is exactly what we do:

• Roof Replacement & New Installation — full tear-offs, deck repairs, architectural shingles, metal, and low-slope systems where needed. We design for wind uplift, water shedding, and long-term serviceability.
• Storm Damage Roof Restoration — emergency tarp service when safe, moisture checks, and photo documentation for your records. We explain short-term stabilization vs. permanent repairs.
• Free Roof Inspection After Storms — leak tracing, hail/wind assessments, and a clear plan that separates what is urgent from what can wait.
• Certified FORTIFIED™ Roofing — sealed decks, stronger edges, enhanced nailing, and third-party verification to pursue the IBHS FORTIFIED designation.

In addition, we handle skylight replacements, attic ventilation upgrades, flashing rebuilds, chimney and wall interface corrections, ridge vent and soffit balancing, and insurance-friendly photo reports that show exactly what was found and fixed.

Roofing Systems We Install

Different roofs face different challenges on the Gulf Coast. We recommend systems based on home design, exposure, and budget — then we install to manufacturer specs and local codes.

Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Modern architectural shingles are the workhorse for single-family homes in humid, storm-prone climates. We specify shingles with strong sealant strips, reliable wind ratings, and balanced attic ventilation to prevent premature aging. A properly installed shingle roof sheds water efficiently, resists uplift at the eaves and rakes, and looks clean from the curb. When needed, we add self-adhered leak barriers in valleys, around penetrations, and along eaves to counter wind-driven rain.

Metal Roofing (Standing Seam & Screw-Down)

For homeowners targeting maximum longevity and superior wind performance, metal roofing is a smart option. We specify underlayments that tolerate high heat, fastener schedules that resist uplift, and properly detailed flashings to prevent capillary leaks. Standing seam panels with concealed clips offer a sleek look and reduced penetrations through the panel surface. In exposure zones with frequent gusts, hemmed edges and continuous cleats lock panels more securely.

Low-Slope & Flat Roofs (TPO / Modified Bitumen)

Low-slope sections — porches, patios, and additions — need a different approach. We install TPO membranes or modified bitumen with clean terminations and metal edge details that meet wind requirements. We ensure drains, scuppers, and diverters are correctly sized and placed to move water off the roof, then we seal penetrations with compatible accessories to keep the field watertight.

Ventilation & Insulation Coordination

Balanced attic airflow keeps shingles cooler, reduces moisture, and supports long service life. Ridge vents plus continuous soffit intake are a proven combo; where geometry limits intake, we explore baffles, additional vents, or design adjustments to maintain the required net free area. Insulation strategy should complement ventilation — we’ll point out gaps that could be affecting comfort and utility bills.

FORTIFIED™ & Louisiana Grants

FORTIFIED™ is a resilience standard from IBHS that focuses on real-world wind, rain, and hail performance. It is not a brand of shingle — it’s a documented way to build roofs to a higher standard. To pursue an official FORTIFIED designation, a certified, independent FORTIFIED Evaluator must verify materials, methods, and photo evidence at key stages of your project.

When funding is available, the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) has offered grants up to $10,000 to upgrade eligible homes to a FORTIFIED Roof. Registration typically opens in rounds and awards are made by lottery. We’ll help you plan a compliant scope, connect with an Evaluator, and build to the standard; contractor selection follows LFHP guidelines and homeowner choice.

In practical terms, a FORTIFIED roof improves the edge uplift resistance, closes water pathways through a sealed roof deck, and documents the installation so you can prove what’s under the shingles. On the Gulf Coast, that’s the kind of detail that matters during severe weather.

Materials & Details That Matter

Great results come from great details. We don’t just “put on shingles”; we build systems. The following controls are the backbone of durable, storm-ready roofing in Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast:

• Sealed roof deck: taped or covered sheathing prevents wind-driven rain from entering if shingles lift or blow off.
• Starter strips & high-wind nailing: consistent edge bond and the right fastener pattern increase uplift resistance at eaves and rakes.
• Self-adhered leak barriers: we protect valleys, penetrations, and eaves — the first places wind and water try to get in.
• Drip edge & flashings: continuous metal with correct laps and sealant placement moves water away from fascia, walls, and critical seams.
• Pipe boots & penetrations: we match boot type to the roof system and temperature range, then align fasteners and sealant for longevity.
• Balanced ventilation: ridge vents paired with clean soffit intake; we right-size net free area and fix blocked pathways.
• Decking repairs: we replace compromised boards and add fasteners where needed for a flat, solid nailing surface.
• Clean terminations on low-slope: metal edge, termination bars, and compatible sealants for a watertight finish.

These controls reduce callbacks, improve insurance documentation, and give you a roof that stays tight through summer heat and storm season alike.

Our Process & Quality Controls

Transparency builds trust. We provide itemized estimates, clear timelines, and photo documentation before, during, and after your project. Our five-step workflow keeps things simple and accountable:

1. On-site evaluation: we inspect accessible areas, check attic intake/exhaust where possible, and photograph conditions.
2. Itemized proposal: you’ll see materials, options (shingle/metal/low-slope), ventilation corrections, and any contingencies for decking or flashing.
3. Scheduling & staging: we coordinate material delivery, protect landscaping, and discuss parking and access so work goes smoothly.
4. Professional installation: trained crews follow manufacturer specs and local codes, maintaining a clean, safe site each day.
5. Final walkthrough & documentation: we review the work, remove debris, register warranties where applicable, and provide a photo report.

Quality is not an accident — it’s a checklist. Our crews follow documented steps for edge details, valley sequencing, fastener patterns, ventilation balance, and clean-up. The result is a roof that looks good on day one and holds up year after year.

Roof Pricing, Estimates & Financing

Every roof is unique. Size, pitch, layers to remove, system type (architectural shingle roofing, metal roofing, or low-slope membranes), ventilation scope, and detail work all affect cost. We provide a clear, line-by-line estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

Roofing FAQ

What’s the difference between roof repair and roof replacement?

Roof repair addresses specific issues like leaks at flashing, failed pipe boots, or storm-damaged shingles. Roof replacement removes old materials down to the deck, repairs decking, and installs a complete system with new underlayments, flashings, and ventilation. If your roof has widespread aging, repeated leaks, or storm damage across multiple slopes, replacement is typically the cost-effective path.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family shingle roofs are completed in one to two working days, weather and complexity permitting. Low-slope and metal sections, significant decking repairs, or specialty details may extend the schedule. We’ll outline timing in your proposal so you can plan around noise and access.

Do you provide emergency tarp service?

Yes — when conditions are safe. Tarping is a short-term measure to stabilize the home and prevent further water intrusion. We’ll follow with a full evaluation, photos, and an itemized plan for permanent repair or replacement.

What is a FORTIFIED™ Roof?

FORTIFIED is a resilience standard from IBHS that focuses on wind, water, and hail performance. It improves edge details, seals the roof deck, and documents the installation. If you’re pursuing official designation, a certified, independent FORTIFIED Evaluator must verify the job at specific stages.

Does Louisiana offer grants for FORTIFIED roofs?

When funding is available, the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program (LFHP) has offered grants up to $10,000 toward a FORTIFIED Roof. Enrollment typically opens in rounds and awards are made by lottery. We’ll help you plan a compliant scope and coordinate with your Evaluator.

Which roofing system is right for my home?

Architectural shingles are a strong all-around choice. Metal roofing adds longevity and enhanced wind performance. Low-slope areas often call for TPO or modified bitumen membranes with clean edge terminations. We’ll match systems to your roof geometry, exposure, and budget.

How important is attic ventilation?

Very. Balanced intake and exhaust help manage heat and moisture, support shingle life, and reduce ice-box-effect hot attics in summer. We’ll calculate net free area, clear blocked soffits, and recommend ridge vent or other solutions that fit your roof.

What affects roof pricing the most?

Size (square footage), pitch/height, number of layers to remove, chosen system (shingle/metal/low-slope), ventilation scope, and detail complexity (valleys, walls, skylights, chimneys) have the biggest impact. We’ll show line items so you can see exactly where dollars go.

Do you work with insurance?

We provide documentation and photos; you and your insurer determine coverage. If your project is insurance-funded, we can coordinate scheduling and scope after you receive carrier approvals.

Are permits required?

Many jurisdictions do require permits. We obtain required permits where applicable and follow local codes and manufacturer specifications.

What warranties are available?

Manufacturer warranties vary by product line; workmanship coverage is provided by SHIC. We’ll review options and registrations at your final walkthrough.
