You get a roof that actually stands up to what Louisiana throws at it. No more worrying about the next hurricane season or wondering if your shingles will hold when the winds pick up.
Your home stays dry during those sudden afternoon thunderstorms that seem to come out of nowhere. The energy bills drop because your new roof reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your house cooler during those brutal summer months.
When the insurance adjuster shows up after the next storm, you’ll have documentation and materials that meet every requirement. No fighting over coverage or wondering if you chose the right system.
At Southern Roofing Solutions, we understand exactly what Prien homeowners deal with. We’ve seen what happens when roofs aren’t built for this climate—the heat damage, the storm aftermath, the insurance headaches.
We’re not just another roofing company. We’re locals who’ve been protecting Southwest Louisiana homes through hurricane seasons, ice storms, and everything in between. Our team knows which materials actually last here and which installation methods prevent the problems that show up two years later.
When we say we’ll handle your project right, that’s because we’ve learned what “right” means in this specific area. Your neighbors trust us because we deliver what we promise, when we promise it.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof—not just give you a number over the phone. We document everything with photos and videos, measure precisely, and explain what we find in plain English.
Next, we walk you through material options that make sense for your home and budget. No pressure, no upselling—just honest recommendations based on what works in this climate. We handle all permits and scheduling so you don’t have to chase down paperwork.
Installation day, we protect your property, remove the old roof completely, and install your new system using proven methods. We clean up thoroughly—you won’t find a single nail in your yard when we’re done. Then we do a final walkthrough together so you know exactly what you got.

Your roof replacement includes complete tear-off of old materials, proper deck inspection and repairs, high-quality underlayment, and installation of materials rated for Louisiana’s wind and weather requirements. We don’t cut corners on flashing, ventilation, or edge details.
In Prien, that means using materials designed for high humidity, salt air, and sudden temperature changes. We install hurricane-rated fasteners, proper ventilation systems that handle moisture, and edge protection that won’t fail when winds pick up.
You get detailed documentation for insurance purposes, material warranties, and our workmanship guarantee. Most importantly, you get a roof installed by people who understand that in Louisiana, “good enough” isn’t good enough when the next storm comes through.
Roof replacement in Prien typically ranges from $7,000 to $17,000 for a standard home, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Architectural shingles run about $375-$1,000 per 100 square feet installed, while metal roofing systems cost $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 we find deck damage that needs repair. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
For Louisiana’s humid, storm-prone climate, we recommend impact-rated architectural shingles or metal roofing systems. Both handle high winds, resist algae growth, and reflect heat to reduce cooling costs. Metal roofs last 40-70 years and offer excellent hurricane protection.
Architectural shingles cost less upfront and still provide solid performance when properly installed with enhanced fastening and sealed deck systems. The key is using materials rated for high winds and installing them according to FORTIFIED standards, which many insurance companies now recognize with discounts.
We avoid basic 3-tab shingles in this area because they don’t hold up to the weather conditions you’ll face over the next 20-30 years.
Fall through early spring (November-March) is ideal for roof replacement in Prien. You avoid hurricane season, the worst heat, and frequent afternoon thunderstorms that can delay work. Cooler temperatures also help shingles seal properly and keep our crews safer.
If you need emergency replacement after storm damage, we work year-round and take precautions for weather conditions. But for planned replacements, scheduling in the off-season often means better availability and pricing.
Don’t wait until you see leaks or obvious damage. If your roof is over 15 years old or showing signs of wear, get it inspected before the next hurricane season starts.
Insurance coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of damage. Most policies cover wind damage from hurricanes and storms, but flood damage requires separate coverage. Age of your roof and maintenance history also affect claims.
We help document storm damage properly with photos, videos, and detailed reports that insurance adjusters need. We know how to present claims in Louisiana and can work directly with your adjuster to ensure you get appropriate coverage.
For older roofs or pre-existing issues, coverage gets more complicated. That’s why we recommend proactive replacement before problems develop, especially if you’re in a high-risk area for hurricanes and severe weather.
Yes, we install FORTIFIED roofing systems that meet enhanced construction standards for hurricane resistance. These systems cost about 10-15% more upfront but qualify for insurance discounts and provide superior protection against high winds and flying debris.
FORTIFIED installation includes sealed roof decks, enhanced attachment methods, and impact-resistant materials. Many Louisiana insurance companies now offer significant discounts for FORTIFIED homes, which can offset the additional cost over time.
We’re certified in FORTIFIED installation methods and can walk you through the requirements and benefits. If you’re in a high-wind zone or want maximum protection, it’s worth considering for both peace of mind and potential insurance savings.
Most residential roof replacements in Prien take 1-3 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Simple ranch homes often complete in one day, while larger two-story homes with multiple angles and features take longer.
Weather delays are common in Louisiana, especially during summer months with afternoon thunderstorms. We monitor conditions closely and protect your home if we need to stop work temporarily. Your roof is never left exposed overnight.
We schedule projects with realistic timelines and keep you informed if conditions require adjustments. The goal is doing the job right, not just fast. A properly installed roof that lasts decades is worth taking the time to do correctly.
