Roofing in Church Point, LA
Roof repair and replacement for Church Point and the Acadia Parish farm country around it, from Main Street out to the rice fields.
A roofer who knows Church Point.
Church Point grew out of Plaquemine Brûlé, where Etienne d'Aigle III became the first settler in 1843. Jesuit missionaries built a chapel there in 1848 on land donated by the d'Aigle brothers, and the town's name comes from that church spire, visible for miles across the frontier.
Today it is a town of 4,179 people in Acadia Parish, known for its Courir de Mardi Gras and once nicknamed the Buggy Capital of the World. From our base in Opelousas it is a short run west on Highway 190 to Lawtell, then south on LA 35, about 16 miles in all.
What wears out roofs in Church Point.
Strong gusts over open farmland
Church Point is ringed by farmland, with rice, soybeans, corn, sugarcane and crawfish among the crops. After Hurricane Lili in October 2002, the National Weather Service survey estimated wind gusts of 70 to 80 mph in Church Point and reported that the town's police department roof was blown off. Gusts like that pull at shingle edges, ridge caps and metal panel seams.
Debris across the parish
Lili's damage reached across the whole parish. The weather service counted 85 homes and businesses destroyed in Acadia Parish and another 2,540 with major damage, many of them hit by flying debris or falling trees, with trees and power lines down all across the parish.
Older homes in town
Church Point opened its first school in 1856 and its post office in 1873. Le Vieux Presbytère on Rue Iry Lejeune, a one-and-a-half-story frame house built with bousillage, still stands across from the church square. Older homes often have decking and flashing that has been patched over the years, and we check both on every inspection.
Permits in Church Point
Inside Church Point town limits, permits come from the Town of Church Point; Town Hall at 741 South Main St. lists obtaining a permit among its services. Outside town limits, the Acadia Parish Police Jury permit office at 1029 Capitol Avenue in Crowley issues permits for unincorporated areas only. Louisiana's Act 239 has required roofing and reroofing work to be permitted and inspected since August 1, 2025. Requirements vary, so confirm what your address needs with the right office.

A Cajun town with deep roots
Church Point calls itself the Cajun Music Capital of the World and honors a Cajun musician each year on Cajun Day, the second Sunday in November. The mayor describes its Courir de Mardi Gras as one of the few traditional runs left in the area, and the town has had a sister-town relationship with Pointe-de-l'Église, Nova Scotia, since 1987. Buggies were the main way around town until the early 1950s.
It is also a working town. Church Point Wholesale and Richard's Cajun Foods, here since 1981, are based in Church Point, and the farms around it grow rice, soybeans, corn, milo, sugarcane and crawfish. Rural homes out on those farm roads face the same storms as the houses in town, and a small leak can go unnoticed until it shows on a ceiling.
Hurricane Lili and Acadia Parish roofs
Lili is the clearest local record for Church Point. The storm made landfall near Intracoastal City on October 3, 2002. The National Weather Service estimated gusts of 70 to 80 mph in Church Point, 80 to 90 mph in Crowley and 100 to 110 mph in Rayne, and Acadia Parish schools reported $1.6 million in damage.
Wind like that works on edges first: shingle tabs at the eaves, ridge caps, metal panel seams and the flashing at walls and chimneys. After a storm, stay off the roof, photograph what you can from the ground, and call us. We can tarp and seal openings while the permanent repair is planned, and we document the damage with photos and a written assessment you can give your insurer.
