Roofing
Roof Repair, Roof Replacement, and FORTIFIED™ Options
A leak, storm damage, or an aging roof starts with one question: can it be repaired, or is replacement the better investment? We review the roof’s condition and explain the options before you decide.
From targeted repairs to a new asphalt shingle roof, the work needs to address what is underneath as well as what you see. Ask about certified FORTIFIED™ roof options for eligible projects.
Windows, siding & gutters
Replacement Windows, Siding, and Seamless Gutters
Replace drafty windows, refresh worn siding, or improve drainage around your home. When several upgrades are needed, we help plan the order of work so the new windows, trim, and gutters fit together.
Replacement Windows
Compare window styles and glass options for comfort, easier operation, and a fresh look. We review the openings, fit, sealing, and trim as part of the installation.

Outdoor living
Patio Covers & Screen Rooms
Make more use of your patio through sunny afternoons and sudden showers. Choose an open cover for shade and rain protection, or a screen room to enjoy the breeze with fewer insects.
We review your existing space, roof attachment, drainage, and layout to help you choose a practical design.
Patio Covers
Insulated and flat-pan aluminum options to create a sheltered place to sit, dine, or gather.
Screen Rooms
An enclosed outdoor area that lets air move through while helping keep mosquitoes, leaves, and debris out.
Room additions
Sunrooms, Glass Rooms, and Insulated Additions
Looking for more enclosed space? A sunroom, glass room, or insulated addition can give you room to relax, entertain, or enjoy the view of your yard.
We help you compare options based on how you want to use the room. The plan should make the foundation, roof connection, windows, insulation, and any heating or cooling needs clear from the start.
Built for the Gulf Coast
Home Improvement Planned for Gulf Coast Conditions
Gulf Coast homes face heavy rain, heat, humidity, and storms. We look at how each improvement connects to the rest of your home, especially where water can get in.
Water Control
Roofing, flashing, windows, siding, gutters, patio roofs, and downspouts must direct water away from vulnerable transitions.
Heat and Humidity
Material choices, ventilation, glass, insulation, shade, and air sealing should reflect the Gulf Coast’s long cooling season.
Storm Exposure
Fastening, edge details, roof dry-in, opening protection, drainage capacity, and secure attachments deserve careful review.
Clean Integration
New work should connect logically with the existing roofline, trim, doors, windows, walkways, and architectural style.

Your questions
Before You Plan Your Project
What type of contractor is Southern Home Improvement Center?
We focus on exterior improvements: roofing, replacement windows, siding, gutters, patio covers, screen rooms, sunrooms, and insulated additions in Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Is SHIC licensed in Louisiana and Mississippi?
SHIC lists Louisiana Residential Building Contractor license LA 81801 and Mississippi residential contractor license R07326. Homeowners should verify current license status and confirm that the written project scope matches the work being contracted.
Does SHIC offer certified FORTIFIED roof options?
Yes. SHIC can discuss certified FORTIFIED roof options for qualifying projects. The required scope, documentation, evaluator involvement, and designation process should be reviewed before the project begins.
Can windows, siding, and gutters be planned together?
Yes. Planning them together helps coordinate installation order, trim, colors, and drainage. Your written estimate should identify the work included in each part of the project.
What is the difference between a patio cover, screen room, and sunroom?
A patio cover primarily provides shade and rain protection. A screen room adds insect protection while remaining open to outdoor air. A sunroom or glass room provides a more complete enclosure and requires additional decisions about windows, roof insulation, doors, ventilation, and temperature control.
