High heat and humidity between storms accelerate shingle wear even on a roof that looks fine, meaning damage from the last named storm can quietly worsen long before it becomes an active leak. Whether the threat is a Gulf hurricane, a fast-moving line of straight-line wind, or an isolated hailstorm, Louisiana’s roofs get tested year after year. Whether you need a targeted roof repair or a full roof replacement, our crews document every detail so nothing gets missed.

Check your gutters and downspouts for excessive granule accumulation after a storm.

Metal flashing around vents, chimneys, and valleys can be bent or torn by wind.
