Seamless Gutter Installation

Gulf Coast downpours and wind-driven rain demand seamless gutter installation that’s sized, pitched, and detailed to protect roofing, fascia, and foundations. We extrude 6" K-style seamless gutters on site, pair them with high-capacity 3×4 downspouts, and set correct slopes so runoff moves cleanly off the roof edge and away from your home. Coordinating gutters with flashing, sealed-deck underlayments, drip edge, and attic ventilation reduces leak risk, preserves soffits and siding, and helps your roofing system meet performance and warranty requirements.

If you’re seeing overflow lines, mulch washouts, or stained soffits after storms, it’s time to resize long runs, add leaders, and fix outlet placement. Our crews match colors and profiles, install heavy-duty hidden hangers, tie kick-out flashing into wall intersections, and route drops clear of walkways. The result is a code-aware drainage plan that supports energy-efficient roofing performance across Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Seamless 6-inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts installed on a Gulf Coast home

A right-sized seamless gutter system manages roof runoff during tropical downpours, protects slabs from settlement, and cuts splash-back on siding and masonry. We add downspout extensions where landscaping allows, use larger outlets to reduce clogging, and seal miters to stop drips at corners. If needed, seasonal gutter cleaning and tune-ups keep 6" K-style lines flowing, while optional guards help limit debris on tree-heavy lots.

Planning exterior upgrades? Pair new seamless gutters with drip edge alignment, kick-out flashing, and corrected slopes along long runs. The combination improves drainage, prevents rot at fascia, and supports long-term performance for roofs across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore.

Impact-Resistant Windows

On the Gulf Coast, impact-resistant windows and professional window replacement protect the building envelope from flying debris, wind-driven rain, and rapid pressure swings. Southern Home Improvement Center installs hurricane-rated units with laminated glass, reinforced frames, and tight weather seals to improve safety, comfort, and year-round performance. We specify glazing and hardware for real coastal exposures, verify approvals, and detail flashing so your openings resist leaks and drafts through every season.

Whether you’re upgrading to hurricane windows or replacing older units with modern vinyl replacement windows, our process covers precise measurement, code-aware installation, and clean finishing. We balance daylight, ventilation, noise reduction, and efficiency — pairing Low-E coatings with proper air sealing — so rooms stay cooler in summer, quieter by the road, and better protected during storms.

Impact-resistant window installation with laminated glass and reinforced frames

Choosing the right impact-resistant windows starts with verified ratings and proper integration into the wall system. We review DP/PG values, NFRC labels, and local code requirements, then set the installation plan: shimming for plumb and square, continuous sealant beds, backer rod where needed, and positive pan flashing to direct any incidental water out. Options include double-hung, casement, and sliding configurations, with Low-E and argon packages that improve energy-efficient windows performance without sacrificing clear views.

If you’re planning a full window replacement, ask about laminated glass thickness, spacer technology, and sound-control upgrades for traffic corridors. Our coastal window installer teams work across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore, delivering clean tear-outs, careful trim matching, and neat finishes that raise curb appeal while meeting hurricane-ready standards.

Storm Damage Roof Restoration

After a Gulf Coast storm, fast roof repair and code-aware restoration protect your home from secondary leaks, mold, and structural damage. Southern Home Improvement Center documents impact points, missing shingles, lifted edges, and flashing failures, then builds a scope that aligns with insurance guidelines and local codes. Our process covers emergency dry-in, precise roof damage inspection, sealed-deck underlayments, and upgraded components that improve wind resistance and long-term performance.

When pressure swings and wind-driven rain hit, we deploy emergency roof repair crews for tarping, leak isolation, and safe perimeter checks. From sealed roof deck and impact-rated shingles to corrected ventilation and wall-to-roof details, your system is rebuilt to handle hurricanes, heavy rain, and heat — restoring curb appeal, warranty eligibility, and peace of mind across Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Storm damage roof restoration with sealed deck and impact-rated shingles

A complete storm damage roof restoration starts with a documented roof inspection, moisture mapping in the attic, and a clear repair scope for adjusters. We prioritize sealed roof deck protection, high-temp underlayment in valleys, new drip edge and flashing at walls and chimneys, and balanced attic ventilation to control heat and humidity. Where shingles are beyond repair, we recommend a code-compliant roof replacement using impact-rated shingles that improve wind resistance and lower long-term maintenance.

Homeowners across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore count on rapid dry-in, clean tear-offs, and manufacturer-approved methods that keep warranties intact. If you need emergency roof repair after hurricanes or heavy rain, our local team can tarp, stabilize, and schedule follow-up work so your home is protected while the claim is processed.

Patio Covers & Siding Installation

Create shade that actually cools the slab and protect walls that face Gulf Coast sun, rain, and wind. Our patio cover installers size structures for drainage and span, integrate tie-ins at the roof, and add options like recessed lighting and fan beams for everyday comfort. For siding installation, we specify moisture control, proper flashing, and wind-load fastening so new cladding looks sharp and lasts — whether you choose fiber cement (Hardie Plank) or durable, low-maintenance vinyl siding.

From Baton Rouge to the Northshore, we deliver neat builds and code-aware details: sealed posts, integrated gutters on covers, WRB continuity behind siding, and crisp trims at windows, doors, and corners. The result is an outdoor space you’ll use more and an exterior shell that resists storms, heat, and humidity season after season.

Planning a new outdoor cover? We compare flat-pan, W-pan, and insulated patio roof panels for span capacity, rain noise, and heat control, then design tie-ins and integrated gutters for clean drainage. If your priority is siding replacement, we help you choose profiles and colors, align trims and soffit/fascia, and install with continuous housewrap and rainscreen details that support drying and long-term durability. Both upgrades boost curb appeal, protect against storms, and can improve energy performance when combined with proper attic ventilation and window upgrades.

Get a free estimate to combine patio covers with siding installation in one schedule — coordinated crews, tidy sites, and manufacturer-approved methods that keep warranties intact across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore.

Window Replacement & Installation

Professional window replacement improves comfort, cuts drafts, and strengthens the building envelope for Gulf Coast weather. We install hurricane-rated and energy-efficient windows with laminated glass, sturdy frames, and precision air sealing so rooms stay cooler in summer, quieter near traffic, and better protected during storms. Our process covers exact measurement, code-aware installation, and neat interior/exterior finishing that lifts curb appeal.

From double-hung and casement to sliding configurations, we match window styles to your home’s architecture and performance goals. Low-E coatings and argon options help control heat gain, while proper flashing and pan details manage incidental water. If you’re replacing aging units, we plan clean tear-outs, protect interiors, and verify operation and fit on every opening.

A successful window installation starts with square, plumb openings and ends with continuous seals and verified drainage paths. We review DP/PG ratings and NFRC labels, size shims correctly, use backer rod and compatible sealants, and set positive pan flashing to direct water out. For coastal neighborhoods, we can pair impact-resistant windows with sound-control glass packages and reinforced locks for added security and storm readiness.

Considering whole-home window replacement? We stage work room by room, protect finishes, and haul away debris the same day. Expect smooth operation, tight weatherstripping, and consistent trims that blend with your siding and interior casing — plus measurable gains in energy efficiency across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore.

Roof Repair After Storms

Severe Gulf Coast weather can loosen shingles, crack flashing, and push water under the underlayment. Prompt roof repair after storms is the difference between a small leak and costly interior damage. Our local crews start with a same-day roof inspection to document wind lift, missing tabs, hail bruising, and moisture intrusion. We stabilize the structure with emergency dry-in, isolate active leaks, and build a code-aware repair scope so insurance adjusters have clear photos, notes, and line items.

Once the roof is safe, we move to permanent repair: replacing compromised shingles, correcting step and counter-flashing at walls and chimneys, and restoring ventilation so heat and humidity don’t shorten roof life. Where decking feels soft, we re-sheet with proper fasteners; in valleys we install high-temperature underlayment; at eaves we align drip edge and kick-out details to route water away from siding. The goal is a watertight envelope that resists the next round of wind-driven rain.

Not sure if you need roof repair or full replacement? We compare repairability, warranty coverage, age of materials, and documented storm damage so you can choose confidently. If a sealed roof deck or impact-rated shingles will materially improve performance, we’ll show the upgrade paths and timelines that keep your project moving without delays.

From Baton Rouge to New Orleans and the Northshore, homeowners choose our roof repair after storms for fast response, clean job sites, and manufacturer-approved methods. Book a free roof inspection to map leaks, verify ventilation, and lock in a repair plan that’s built for the Gulf Coast.

Door & Window Replacement and Installation

Upgrading exterior doors and windows tightens the building envelope, improves energy efficiency, and elevates curb appeal — critical wins for Gulf Coast homes exposed to heat, humidity, and storms. We provide window replacement with laminated glass options, robust frames, and precise air-sealing so conditioned air stays in and wind-driven rain stays out. For entry and patio doors, we offer durable slabs, secure hardware, and weatherstripping packages that reduce drafts and noise.

Our installation process starts with exact measurements and ends with neat interior and exterior finishing. We flash openings correctly, set positive pan details to drain incidental water, and verify smooth operation on every sash and panel. Choose double-hung, casement, or sliding windows with Low-E coatings and argon fills to manage solar heat gain without sacrificing daylight or views. Planning a whole-home window replacement? We stage work room-by-room to minimize disruption and keep your project on schedule.

If storm readiness is your priority, ask about impact-resistant windows and multi-point locking doors that meet coastal performance targets. You’ll gain better security, quieter rooms, and measurable efficiency improvements across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore.

Schedule a free consultation for door and window replacement tailored to Gulf Coast weather. We’ll review performance ratings, layouts, and finishes, then deliver clean, code-compliant installation with efficiency gains you can feel the first week.

Energy-Efficient Home Solutions

The fastest way to lower bills on the Gulf Coast is to manage attic heat, solar gain, and uncontrolled air leakage. Our energy-efficient home solutions combine reflective roofing choices, balanced roof ventilation, and high-performance window replacement to cut cooling load while keeping interiors comfortable through long, humid summers. The approach is holistic: keep bulk water out, let assemblies dry, and reduce heat and moisture where they start.

We begin with a quick assessment of attic temperatures, intake and exhaust balance, and window specs. Then we propose a staged plan: improve roof ventilation for steady airflow, align drip edge and gutters to move water off walls and foundations, and upgrade to energy-efficient windows with Low-E and argon to control heat gain on west-facing elevations. Each step delivers measurable comfort, lower noise, and more consistent indoor humidity.

Pairing these upgrades with targeted air-sealing and correct flashing at vulnerable transitions protects framing, insulation, and finishes. The result is a durable, efficient home that weathers storms better and costs less to run in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and the Northshore.

Ask for a free energy-focused estimate. We’ll outline energy-efficient roofing options, ventilation upgrades, and window replacement paths that deliver lower utility costs and better comfort — built for Gulf Coast weather and daily life.

Roof Ventilation System Installation & Inspection

Proper roof ventilation balances intake and exhaust so your attic sheds heat and moisture instead of trapping them. That balance protects shingles, reduces risk of condensation, and helps HVAC work less during long Gulf Coast summers. We verify net free area targets, open soffit pathways, and right-size ridge exhaust so airflow is continuous from eave to peak.

Our roof ventilation inspection looks for blocked baffles, crushed insulation at eaves, disconnected bath fans, and short-circuited exhausts. Where upgrades are needed, we install ridge vents with correct cut width, add intake where soffits are starved, and seal accidental attic bypasses that leak conditioned air. The result is a quieter, cooler attic and more consistent indoor comfort.

Considering a new roof? Pair ventilation improvements with a sealed roof deck in coastal zones and high-temp underlayment in valleys. That combination controls heat, improves durability, and supports manufacturer warranty requirements.

Book a roof ventilation inspection to balance intake and exhaust, lower attic temperatures, and support energy-efficient roofing performance — a simple upgrade that pays off through every season on the Gulf Coast.
