Your roof isn’t just covering your house—it’s protecting everything you’ve worked for. When storms roll through DeQuincy, you need more than basic shingles thrown on by whoever’s cheapest.
You need a roof system built specifically for Louisiana’s punishment. The kind that keeps water out during those brutal summer thunderstorms. The kind that stays put when hurricane-force winds try to peel it off your home.
That’s what proper roof replacement looks like here. Materials chosen for our climate. Installation done right the first time. And the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family stays dry, no matter what the weather brings.
We understand something that out-of-town contractors don’t—DeQuincy’s weather doesn’t play games. We’ve been watching storms tear through Calcasieu Parish long enough to know what works and what fails.
We’re not the guys who show up after every hurricane with a clipboard and a pickup truck. We’re here year-round, helping neighbors prepare for storm season and fix what gets damaged when Mother Nature wins a round.
Every roof we install gets the same treatment we’d want on our own homes. That means proper underlayment, adequate ventilation for our humidity, and materials that can handle both the blazing summer heat and the driving rain that comes with it.
We start with a thorough inspection—not a quick glance from the ground, but actually getting up there to see what’s happening. We’ll check your decking, look for signs of water damage, and measure everything properly so there are no surprises later.
Next comes the detailed estimate. You’ll see exactly what materials we’re using, what the labor covers, and how long the project will take. No vague line items or mysterious charges that show up later.
Installation day means our crew arrives with everything needed to complete the job. We protect your property, remove the old roofing completely, and install your new system according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes. Before we leave, your property gets cleaned up properly—no nails in the driveway or debris in your landscaping.

Every roof replacement we do in DeQuincy gets designed around one simple fact—Louisiana weather is relentless. That means choosing materials that can handle 90-degree days with 90% humidity, sudden thunderstorms that dump inches of rain in minutes, and the occasional hurricane that tests everything.
We use impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds because regular shingles don’t cut it here. Our underlayment systems provide extra water protection because a small leak during storm season becomes a big problem fast. And we make sure your attic ventilation can handle the heat and moisture that builds up in our climate.
The metal roofing we install comes with hurricane ratings that matter. Standing seam systems that won’t lift in high winds. Proper fastening that keeps everything secure when the weather gets nasty. These aren’t just features—they’re necessities for homes in Southwest Louisiana.
Most residential roof replacements in DeQuincy take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. We always check the forecast before starting because Louisiana weather can change quickly.
For a typical single-story home, we can often complete the tear-off and installation in one day if conditions are right. Larger homes or complex roof lines might take an additional day. We never rush the job just to meet a timeline—your roof needs to be done right, especially given the storms we see here.
Weather delays are part of roofing in Louisiana. If rain threatens, we’ll wait rather than risk improper installation. A roof installed in wet conditions won’t perform when you need it most.
For DeQuincy’s climate, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles or metal roofing systems. Both handle our extreme weather better than basic materials.
Impact-resistant shingles are designed to withstand hail and high winds that are common during storm season. They typically last 25-30 years in Louisiana conditions, compared to 15-20 years for standard shingles. The extra cost upfront often pays for itself through better durability and potential insurance discounts.
Metal roofing performs exceptionally well here. It reflects heat during our brutal summers, sheds water efficiently during heavy rains, and can withstand hurricane-force winds when properly installed. While the initial investment is higher, metal roofs often last 40-50 years in Louisiana.
Roof replacement costs in DeQuincy typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 for most homes, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Several factors affect the final price.
Your roof’s square footage is the biggest factor. A 1,500 square foot roof will cost significantly less than a 3,000 square foot roof. The pitch and complexity matter too—steep roofs or multiple angles require more labor and safety equipment.
Material choice makes a substantial difference. Basic asphalt shingles cost less upfront, but impact-resistant or architectural shingles provide better value over time. Metal roofing costs more initially but can last decades longer. We always provide detailed estimates so you can see exactly where your money goes.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and adjusters to document storm damage and support your claim. This is crucial after the severe weather events that regularly hit Southwest Louisiana.
We’ll inspect your roof thoroughly and document all damage with photos and detailed reports. When the adjuster comes out, we can meet with them to ensure they see all the damage and understand what’s needed for proper repairs.
Insurance claims can be complicated, especially after major storms when adjusters are overwhelmed. We’ve handled hundreds of storm damage claims and know how to present the information insurance companies need. Our goal is making sure you get the coverage you’re entitled to so your roof gets fixed right.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on your roof’s age, extent of damage, and long-term value. In Louisiana’s harsh climate, this choice is particularly important.
Repairs make sense for newer roofs with localized damage—maybe a few missing shingles after a storm or a small leak around a vent. But if your roof is over 15 years old or has widespread damage, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Consider that patching an old roof is like putting new tires on a car with 200,000 miles. You might solve today’s problem, but you’ll likely face more issues soon. In DeQuincy’s climate, where roofs take a beating every storm season, a full replacement with modern materials often provides better long-term protection and value.
The ideal time for roof replacement in DeQuincy is late fall through early spring—roughly November through March—when we’re outside hurricane season and summer thunderstorms are less frequent.
This timing gives you the best weather conditions for installation and ensures your new roof is ready before the next storm season begins. Trying to replace a roof during summer means dealing with afternoon thunderstorms that can delay work for days.
However, storm damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing. If your roof gets damaged during hurricane season, we provide emergency repairs to prevent further damage and schedule full replacement when conditions allow. The key is not letting small problems become big ones while waiting for perfect weather.
