Roof Installation — Southeast Louisiana & Mississippi Gulf Coast

Your roof isn’t just a finish — it’s a weather system. On the Gulf Coast, we build roof installations and replacements that balance curb appeal with proven water and wind performance. Whether you’re planning a straight reroof in Baton Rouge or a new installation in New Orleans, the Northshore, or the Mississippi Gulf Coast, our crews follow a FORTIFIED-ready approach: sealed deck options, enhanced edges, wind-tested ridge vents, and balanced intake. Want the short version of how discounts work? See our quick explainer FORTIFIED™ Without the Noise.

What we install

We focus on coastal assemblies that hold up in heat, humidity, and wind-driven rain. If you’re comparing replacement vs. new construction, start with our overview Roof Replacement & Installation.

Architectural asphalt: High-definition shingles with wide nailing zones for consistent fastening. Popular for Baton Rouge and the Northshore.
Impact-rated shingles: Class 3/4 options for areas that see hail — ask about Pinnacle® Pristine HP42® SG with 3M™ Scotchgard™ granules.
Metal (select profiles): Great for low-maintenance exteriors and long service life when ventilation is correct.
Ventilation & accessories: Baffled ridge vents with clear soffit intake, boots, flashings, and valley systems.

Our FORTIFIED-ready method

Even when clients don’t pursue formal certification, we build to methods aligned with the FORTIFIED™ Roof standard so you get durable performance and better documentation for potential credits. If you’d like to certify, we can coordinate an evaluator — details here: Certified FORTIFIED™ Installation — LA & MS.

Sealed roof deck (SRD) options: Taped seams + underlayment or fully adhered membranes — tailored to your deck.
Enhanced edges: Correct metal size and dense fastener patterns at eaves and rakes to resist uplift and water intrusion.
Wind-tested ridge vents + balanced intake: Baffled ridge vents paired with open soffits — no mixing exhaust types on one plane.
Documentation by phase: Photos and specs that map one-to-one to insurer forms, so credits are easier to request.

Roof installation workflow

This is the disciplined, low-disruption sequence our crews follow on occupied homes.

Protection & staging: Tarps, boards, safe drop zones, and a quick walk-through to confirm scope.
Tear-off & deck review: Remove old materials, inspect sheathing, replace compromised areas.
SRD & underlayment: Seal seams or apply membrane; install underlayment with measured laps.
Edges, valleys, flashings: Edge metal, valley liners or membranes, step/counter-flashing, and kick-outs.
Shingle install & ventilation: Manufacturer fastening spec, baffled ridge vent, and open soffit intake. Vent basics: Attic Ventilation in Louisiana and Ridge vs Turbine.
Final QA & photo log: Street-level and eave-level checks plus labeled photos for your records.

Most single-family homes finish in one to two working days, weather and deck repairs permitting.

Ridge & intake: Baffled ridge vent products and soffit solutions sized for balanced airflow.

Pricing & estimates

Every home is different — roof area, planes, pitch, penetrations, deck condition, and trim all influence price. Our estimator will measure, check ventilation paths, and show material samples on site. You’ll get a written proposal that separates labor, materials, and any deck or flashing repairs. If a storm has made the roof unsafe, see Emergency Roof Tarping & Dry-In for short-term protection.

Insurance discounts & documentation

Insurers don’t credit “good intentions” — they credit verifiable mitigation. We photograph the build by phase and can map photos to your carrier’s mitigation form. If you want a formal FORTIFIED designation, we’ll help schedule an evaluator. For a deeper anti-checklist of common pitfalls, see 9 Reroof Mistakes That Cost You Discounts.

Clean job-site standard

Roofing shouldn’t leave a mess. We collect and haul away torn-off materials, and roll the lawn and driveway with a magnetic sweeper for stray fasteners. You get a neat, finished property the moment we pull away.

Where we work

We install across Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. City pages and service hubs:

If you don’t see your town listed, ask — in many cases we can schedule nearby.
