IKO Roofing for Louisiana Homes — Dynasty & Cambridge
Coastal Louisiana is hot, humid, and windy — a tough mix for any roof. IKO shingles pair curb appeal with dependable performance in storm-exposed neighborhoods from Baton Rouge to the Northshore and Greater New Orleans. If you’re preparing for storm season, start with our guide to hurricane-season roof preparation to see how materials and installation work together in our climate.
Why IKO Works on the Gulf Coast
IKO focuses on balanced protection: wind performance, moisture control, and clean, lasting color. Homeowners here value algae resistance for humid conditions, reinforced nailing zones for high winds, and ventilation that helps the whole system last.
Algae Resistance for Humid Yards
Warm, shaded lots can show dark roof streaks over time. IKO shingles are available with algae-resistant granules to help the surface stay cleaner longer in Louisiana’s damp conditions.
Reinforced Nailing & Wind Performance
IKO’s wide nailing area and strong shingle-to-shingle bond support precise fastening — a big advantage when Gulf winds pick up. For pricing scenarios and what’s included, see our roof replacement pricing page.
IKO Shingles We Install Most
Choosing the right line comes down to your home’s style and exposure. During your visit we’ll bring color boards, discuss ventilation and accessories, and provide a written estimate with options.
IKO Dynasty — Architectural Profile with ArmourZone®
A popular upgrade for full replacements. Dynasty’s reinforced nailing strip helps support consistent installs and wind performance, while algae-resistant options help preserve that fresh-roof look over time.
IKO Cambridge — Proven Look, Solid Value
A classic architectural shingle that fits traditional and modern facades across Southeast Louisiana. A strong choice when you want dependable protection without a premium price.
Our Gulf Coast Installation Standards
Materials are half the battle — correct installation is what makes a roof last.
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 your IKO system.
Secondary Waterproofing Where It Matters
Leak barrier in valleys, at eaves, and around penetrations, then synthetic underlayment across the field — layered protection that helps manage wind-driven rain.
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.
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
Manufacturer limited warranties apply when the system is installed to spec and registered properly. We’ll review eligibility, accessories, and paperwork during your complimentary roof inspection.
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, see our storm damage roof restoration page.
