Roof Replacement in Southeast Louisiana
When a roof is past the point of patching, Summit Construction & Exteriors delivers complete, code-compliant roof replacements built for Gulf Coast heat, humidity, and storm seasons — from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and every community in between.
A new roof built for how Louisiana weather actually behaves
Years of intense sun, humidity, and storm cycles take a toll that shingle repairs can only slow down, not stop. When wear reaches the decking, flashing, and structure underneath, a full replacement is what keeps your home protected and your insurance in good standing.
We’ve completed full roof replacements across Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell, Gonzales, Denham Springs, and Prairieville — matching materials and methods to what actually holds up in this climate, not just what’s cheapest to install.
Backed by a workmanship warranty
Every full replacement includes a workmanship warranty and manufacturer-backed materials, so you’re covered long after our crew leaves the job site — not just on installation day.

Full tear-off, fresh decking, and synthetic underlayment — the groundwork that determines how long a new roof actually lasts.
Not sure if you need a repair or a full replacement?
Here’s how we help homeowners across Southeast Louisiana make that call.
Repair may be enough if…
- Damage is isolated to one section or a single storm event
- Your roof is under 15 years old with sound decking
- Only flashing, vents, or a few shingles are affected
Replacement is worth considering if…
- Multiple past repairs haven’t stopped recurring leaks
- Decking is soft, warped, or visibly deteriorated
- Your roof is 20+ years old or nearing end of its lifespan
Roofing materials we install
We help you choose the right system for your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay in it.
Architectural shingles
Our most common install — dimensional, wind-rated, and built to handle Gulf Coast storm seasons at a strong value.
Standing seam metal
A long-lifespan option that sheds heat and heavy rain efficiently — popular for homeowners planning to stay long-term.
Synthetic underlayment & decking
Every replacement starts with new decking where needed and premium synthetic underlayment beneath the shingles.
Slate roofing
Natural slate for historic homes and premium builds — one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available, prized for its distinctive, textured look.
Clay & concrete tile
A classic look well-suited to Louisiana’s coastal and Mediterranean-style architecture, with excellent heat resistance and a long service life.
How a full replacement works, start to finish
A clear, five-step process so you know exactly what’s happening on your roof and when.
Inspection & estimate
We assess your current roof, decking, and ventilation, then walk you through a clear, itemized quote.
Full tear-off
Old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing are completely removed down to the decking.
Decking & underlayment
Any compromised decking is replaced, then premium synthetic underlayment is installed for a watertight base.
New roof installation
Flashing, vents, and your chosen shingle or metal system are installed to manufacturer specifications.
Final walkthrough & cleanup
We inspect the finished roof with you, clean the site completely, and provide your warranty documentation.
