Roofs here take more punishment than most: summer heat, tropical downpours, hurricane season and houses that are often a hundred years old. That shapes how we work.
Honest repair-or-replace advice
If a repair will buy you a few good years, we tell you. You get photos of what we found and an itemized written estimate before any work starts.
Older and historic homes
Shotguns, Creole cottages and raised camelbacks are everyday work for us. In historic districts we handle the HDLC review and city permits for you.
Our own crews
Production manager Jerry Cooley has more than 25 years on roofs. Foreman David Nguyen leads our metal and sheet-metal work.
Fast when it leaks
Call early and we can often be on the roof the same day. Most full replacements take one to two days, cleaned up when we leave.
Often done with your roof, by the same crew, under the same warranty.
Covered by the address, not the paperwork
Every full roof replacement, full-house gutter install, full-house siding install and new patio cover is covered for 5 years from completion. If you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new owner at no cost, and they don't need to do a thing. We keep every job on record by address.
For homeowners, Oakridge and Duration shingles come with Owens Corning's limited lifetime warranty, and we register it in your name.

What New Orleans homeowners say
We recently had our roof redone and are very pleased with the results. The job was done in 2 days, and everything was covered from the HDLC and permitting, to adding an attic vent and replacing historic ridge tiles.
After conducting an inspection, he told me that the roof was good for another two years with just a few small repairs. I respected the honesty and knew who I would call when it was time. Two years later, Mark and his crew just installed my new roof on time.
Jerry and David went up on the roof to repair a leak and found numerous potential leaks which they repaired. I am super satisfied with their work and the price charged.

New Orleans roofing questions
How much does a new roof cost in New Orleans?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, decking repairs and the material you choose. We give you a written, itemized estimate after inspecting the roof. Our New Orleans roof cost guide walks through the main factors.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Yes. A roof replacement in New Orleans needs a city permit, and homes in historic districts also need HDLC approval. We pull the permits and handle the paperwork as part of the job. See our guide to New Orleans roofing permits.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take one to two days once materials arrive. Larger roofs, steep pitches or rotten decking can add time. We give you the schedule up front and stick to it.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the roof has years left and the damage is limited, a repair is usually the better buy, and we'll tell you so. Widespread granule loss, soft decking, repeated leaks or a roof past its rated life point to replacement.
Is a metal roof worth it in New Orleans?
Metal handles heat, wind and heavy rain well and lasts much longer than shingles. It costs more up front. We install standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs in 24 and 26 gauge with a 40-year paint warranty. See metal roofing.
What warranty do I get?
A 5-year workmanship warranty on every full roof replacement, full-house gutter install, full-house siding install and new patio cover, transferable to a new owner at no cost, plus the Owens Corning limited lifetime shingle warranty, which we register for you. For the first 10 years it covers defective shingles and the labor to replace them.
