TAMKO Roofing for Louisiana Homes — Titan XT® & Heritage®
Coastal Louisiana is hot, humid, and windy — a tough mix for any roof. TAMKO shingles pair curb appeal with dependable, storm-season performance across Baton Rouge, the Northshore, and Greater New Orleans. If you’re planning a project, our guide to hurricane-season roof preparation shows how materials and proper installation work together in local conditions.
Why TAMKO Works on the Gulf Coast
TAMKO focuses on wind hold, moisture control, and lasting color — the three things that matter most in our climate. Homeowners here value algae resistance for shade and humidity, reinforced nailing zones for wind events, and a whole-roof approach that manages attic heat.
Algae Resistance That Keeps Roofs Looking Newer
Warm, shaded lots can develop dark roof streaks. TAMKO architectural lines are available with algae-resistant granules to help the surface stay cleaner longer — a smart upgrade for neighborhoods under trees or near water.
Reinforced Nailing & Wind Performance
With an enlarged nailing area and strong shingle-to-shingle bond, TAMKO systems help the roof stay put when Gulf winds pick up. For line-item costs and what’s included, see our roof replacement pricing page.
TAMKO Shingles We Install Most
Choosing the right profile comes down to your home’s style and exposure. During your visit we’ll bring color boards and samples, then include both options in your written estimate after a complimentary roof inspection.
Titan XT® — Reinforced Architectural Performance
Engineered for high-wind regions, Titan XT® combines a reinforced fastening zone with a dimensional look. It’s a strong choice when you want upgraded hold and everyday curb appeal.
Heritage® — Proven Look, Solid Value
A classic architectural shingle that fits traditional and modern facades across Southeast Louisiana. Algae-resistant options help preserve that fresh-roof look over time.
Our Gulf Coast Installation Standards
Materials are half the battle — correct installation is what makes a roof last in our heat and humidity.
Tear-Off, Deck Repair & Fastening
We remove old layers to the deck, replace compromised sheathing, and refasten per code to create a stable base for the new TAMKO system.
Secondary Waterproofing Where It Matters
We install leak barrier in valleys, along eaves, and around penetrations, then cover the field with synthetic underlayment — layered protection that helps manage wind-driven rain common on the Gulf Coast.
Ventilation Tuned to Heat & Humidity
Balanced intake and ridge exhaust move heat and moisture out of the attic, supporting shingle life and indoor comfort. If you’re due for a checkup, book a roof inspection and we’ll document current conditions with photos.
Clean Flashing & Finishing Details
New metal flashing, sealed pipe boots, straight ridge caps, and aligned courses deliver a roof that performs and looks right from every angle.
Warranties & Documentation
TAMKO provides manufacturer limited warranties on shingles and accessories when installed as a complete system and registered properly. We’ll review eligibility and handle the paperwork during your complimentary roof inspection — including how ventilation and algae-resistant selections support long-term performance.
Works Better Together: Drainage & Storm Readiness
A durable roof needs efficient water management. If corners overshoot or you’re seeing pooling near the foundation, consider upsizing to 6″ seamless gutters for higher flow and fewer leak-prone joints. For post-storm help and insurance guidance, see our storm damage roof restoration page.
