Our Step-by-Step Restoration Process
Clarity beats guesswork. Your coordinator sets expectations and keeps you updated as we move from temporary protection to a finished roof.
- Stabilize — dry-in/tarping removed or adjusted as needed while work begins.
- Repair deck & ventilation — address soft spots, re-nail, balance intake/exhaust.
- Underlayment & flashings — sealed valleys and properly integrated step/pipe/chimney flashing.
- Shingles & details — matched profiles and correct fastening patterns for wind performance.
- Cleanup & walkthrough — magnet sweeps, debris removal, final photo set for your records.
If age or scope makes repairs uneconomical, we’ll price a straight replacement alongside restoration so you can compare timelines and value: Roof Replacement — New Orleans and the regional Roof Replacement & Installation hub.
Materials & Assemblies Built for Gulf Weather
Performance on the Gulf Coast is about the assembly — sealed decks, stronger edges, correct flashing integration, and balanced ventilation. If you want a resilience upgrade, we can price a certified path next to standard code work: Certified FORTIFIED™ Roof Installation. For current eligibility windows in Louisiana, review the FORTIFIED roof grant program.
Clean Job Sites & Predictable Timelines
Southshore homeowners value two things — communication and cleanliness. Every project has a named coordinator, daily status updates, and a defined cleanup routine: debris goes in our trailer, walkways are kept clear, and nails are collected with magnets. After the final walkthrough, the job site is left clean and safe. If weather forces a reschedule, we notify you in advance, then lock the next safe window and keep you posted.
Cost & Planning — Repair vs. Replacement
Real-world pricing depends on slope, layers, flashing complexity, ventilation, and whether you pursue a resilience upgrade. To frame expectations before we visit, skim the statewide primer: Cost of a New Roof in Louisiana. We’ll show a like-for-like restoration next to a replacement path so you can weigh long-term value clearly.
