Roof replacement in Opelousas & Lafayette

Protect your home with our roofing services. Whether you need a new installation, replacement, or repairs, our experienced team is here to deliver quality results to meet your needs.

With premium materials and skilled craftsmanship, we make sure your roof is durable, weather-resistant, and good looking. Trust us to keep your home safe and looking great for years to come.

Every replacement begins with a thorough inspection. We look at the shingles, the flashing and the roof edges, then go into the attic to check the decking, the ventilation and any signs of past leaks. We take photos of what we find so you see the same things we see.

You then get a detailed written estimate with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. It spells out what comes off, what goes on, and anything we found underneath that needs attention.

During the work we keep you informed, and we aim for timely completion so your home is not left open any longer than it needs to be. When the last ridge cap is down, we clean up thoroughly before we leave.

• Inspection on the roof and in the attic, with photos
• A written estimate that explains the scope in plain language
• Tear-off of the old shingles and underlayment down to the deck
• Repairs to soft or rotten decking, talked through with you first
• New underlayment, drip edge, flashing, shingles, vents and ridge cap
• Thorough clean-up and a final walk-around

A roof rarely fails all at once. These are the signs that usually mean repairs are no longer enough:

One sign on its own may only call for a repair. Several together, especially on an older roof, usually point to a replacement. A free roof inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

• Age: most asphalt shingle roofs last between 20 and 25 years
• Missing, cracked or curled shingles in more than one spot
• Granules collecting in the gutters and at the downspouts
• Leaks and water stains that keep coming back
• Moss and algae growth that traps moisture against the roof
• A sagging roof deck or dipping areas along the roofline
• Daylight through the roof boards when you look from the attic
• Cooling bills creeping up with no other explanation
• Shingles curling, buckling or blistering
• Cracked or missing flashing around chimneys and vents

We install materials from GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material on American homes because they hold up well, come in many colors and cost less than most alternatives.

Architectural shingles, also called dimensional shingles, are thicker and layered for a deeper look, and they are what most homeowners choose today. Three-tab shingles are flatter and lighter. We walk you through the difference in look and weight at the estimate.

A shingle roof is a system, not just the shingles. Underlayment sits beneath them as a second layer of protection. Drip edge protects the roof edges. Flashing seals the joints at walls, chimneys and valleys. Ridge vents or other exhaust vents let the attic breathe. Your estimate lists each part so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Acadiana is hard on roofs. Long summers put heavy heat on shingles, and the attic underneath can get far hotter than the air outside. Humidity keeps moisture in the air most of the year, which feeds algae and moss on shaded slopes and can rot decking where ventilation is poor.

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and even in a quiet year, afternoon thunderstorms bring strong gusts and heavy rain. Live oaks and pines shade many homes from Opelousas to Lafayette, but they also drop limbs, needles and leaves that hold water in valleys and gutters.

A replacement is the right time to plan for all of it: sound decking, sealed flashing, balanced ventilation and shingles fastened to the manufacturer's instructions. Trimming branches that hang over the roof helps the new roof last, too.
