You get more than just new shingles. You get a complete roofing system engineered to handle everything Louisiana throws at it – from hurricane-force winds to crushing humidity to scorching summer heat.
Your roof becomes your home’s strongest defense. No more worrying about leaks during the next big storm. No more watching your energy bills spike because your old roof can’t handle the heat. No more dealing with contractors who don’t understand what Louisiana weather does to a roof.
The peace of mind alone is worth it. But you also get lower insurance premiums, better energy efficiency, and a roof that actually protects your investment instead of draining it.
We understand what works in Oretta. We’ve seen what happens when roofs aren’t built for Louisiana’s unique challenges – the constant humidity that breeds mold and algae, the UV rays that crack shingles in just a few years, the storms that rip off anything that’s not properly secured.
That’s why we only use materials and methods that make sense for this climate. Hurricane clips instead of standard fasteners. Impact-resistant shingles that don’t crack when hail hits. Proper ventilation systems that actually work in 90% humidity.
We’re not just another roofing company. We’re your neighbors who know exactly what your roof needs to survive here.
First, we inspect everything – not just the shingles, but the decking, flashing, ventilation, and structural elements. You get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what needs attention and why.
Next, we walk you through material options that make sense for your home and budget. No pressure, just honest advice about what works best in Oretta’s climate. We explain the differences between standard and hurricane-rated materials so you can make an informed choice.
Installation happens fast but thorough. Our crews know how to work around Louisiana weather, and we protect your property throughout the process. When we’re done, you get a complete walkthrough and all warranty documentation. Most importantly, you get a roof that’s ready for whatever weather comes next.

Every roof replacement includes hurricane-rated fasteners, proper underlayment, and ventilation systems designed for Louisiana’s humidity. We install impact-resistant shingles that meet or exceed local building codes and can qualify you for insurance discounts.
You also get storm damage assessment and insurance claim assistance when needed. We know how to document damage properly and work with adjusters to ensure you get fair coverage. Our metal roofing options provide superior wind resistance and energy efficiency – critical advantages in Louisiana’s climate.
For Oretta homeowners, we understand the specific challenges of this area. The combination of Gulf moisture, seasonal storms, and intense summer heat requires roofing systems built to different standards than what works in other parts of the country. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Roof replacement in Oretta typically ranges from $7,000 to $17,000 for a standard single-family home, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option at around $375-$1,000 per 100 square feet installed, while metal roofing runs $1,500-$2,300 per 100 square feet.
The final cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, how many layers need removal, and whether any decking repairs are needed. We provide detailed, written estimates with no hidden costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
For Louisiana’s climate, impact-resistant asphalt shingles or metal roofing perform best. Impact-resistant shingles handle hail and wind-blown debris while offering good value. They also resist algae growth, which is crucial in Louisiana’s humidity.
Metal roofing excels in wind resistance and energy efficiency, reflecting heat to reduce cooling costs. It lasts 40-70 years compared to 20-30 for asphalt shingles. Both materials work well here when properly installed with hurricane-rated fasteners and adequate ventilation to handle moisture.
The ideal time for roof replacement in Louisiana is November through March. This avoids hurricane season (June-November) and the extreme summer heat that can make installation difficult and prevent proper shingle sealing.
Fall and winter also bring drier conditions and fewer afternoon thunderstorms, allowing crews to work more efficiently. If you need emergency repairs during storm season, we provide temporary protection until full replacement can be completed safely.
Yes, we provide complete insurance claim assistance for storm damage. We document damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports, work directly with adjusters, and help ensure you receive fair coverage for necessary repairs or replacement.
Our experience with Louisiana weather patterns and building codes helps us identify all damage that should be covered. We handle the paperwork and communication with your insurance company, so you don’t have to navigate the claims process alone during an already stressful time.
Most roof replacements in Oretta take 1-3 days, depending on size, weather, and complexity. Simple ranch homes often complete in one day, while larger two-story homes with multiple roof lines may take longer.
Weather can affect timing – we won’t install roofing during rain or high winds for safety and quality reasons. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if weather causes delays. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day to prevent further damage.
We specialize in Louisiana’s unique roofing challenges. While other contractors might use standard installation methods, we use hurricane-rated fasteners, enhanced underlayment, and proper ventilation systems designed for high humidity climates.
Our material selection focuses on what actually works in Louisiana – impact-resistant shingles, algae-resistant options, and metal systems with appropriate coatings for coastal conditions. We also provide ongoing storm damage assessment and insurance claim support, recognizing that roof maintenance in Louisiana is an ongoing partnership, not a one-time transaction.
