When your roof fails, everything inside becomes vulnerable. Your family’s safety, your belongings, your peace of mind—all at risk until the problem gets fixed properly.
We don’t just patch holes. We solve the underlying problem and make sure it doesn’t come back. Using materials designed for Louisiana’s brutal summers and hurricane seasons, we restore your roof’s integrity completely.
After we finish, you’ll have what you started with: a roof that protects everything that matters to you. No more worrying about the next storm, no more buckets catching drips, no more sleepless nights wondering if that small leak is turning into a big problem.
Southern Roofing Solutions has been repairing roofs in Oretta long enough to know exactly what this climate does to roofing materials. We’ve seen how August heat warps shingles, how hurricane winds strip perfectly installed materials, and how that constant humidity creates mold problems other regions never face.
That experience means we choose the right materials the first time. We know which shingles hold up to UV damage, which flashing systems handle thermal expansion, and which ventilation approaches prevent moisture buildup in Louisiana attics.
Every repair comes backed by years of local knowledge and a track record of solutions that actually work. Because when you’re dealing with Louisiana weather, experience isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
We start with a thorough inspection—not a quick look from your driveway, but an actual assessment that identifies the real problem and any related issues developing. We document everything with photos and measurements, giving you a clear picture of what needs attention.
If insurance might cover the damage, we handle that paperwork correctly from the start. We know how Louisiana insurers evaluate storm damage and what documentation they require. No claim denials because something wasn’t presented right.
Then we make the repairs using materials rated for our climate. Most jobs finish within a day or two, depending on scope. We clean up completely and walk you through what we did and why, so you understand the solution we’ve provided.

We handle the full range of roof issues Oretta homeowners encounter. Hurricane damage that strips shingles and damages structure. Hail damage that compromises protective granules and creates leak points. Wind damage that lifts materials and exposes underlayment.
Plus the everyday problems that become major issues if ignored: leaks around penetrations, damaged flashing, loose or missing shingles, and ventilation problems that cause premature aging. In Louisiana’s demanding climate, small problems escalate quickly.
Each repair uses materials specifically chosen for our conditions. Impact-resistant shingles for hail zones. Enhanced fastening systems for high-wind areas. Proper ventilation solutions for our humidity levels. Because a repair that works in other climates might fail completely here in South Louisiana.
Look for obvious signs first: missing or damaged shingles, dented gutters, granules in your gutters, or visible holes. But Louisiana storms often cause hidden damage that shows up later as leaks or structural problems.
Inside your home, check for water stains on ceilings, musty odors in the attic, or higher than usual humidity levels. These often indicate roof damage that isn’t visible from the ground. Don’t wait for leaks to start—by then, water has already begun damaging your home’s structure. We provide free storm damage inspections because catching problems early saves you money and prevents bigger issues.
Storm damage is typically covered, but normal wear and tear isn’t. The challenge is proving that covered damage caused the problem, not just age or poor maintenance.
We document damage properly using industry standards insurance adjusters recognize. Photos, measurements, and detailed reports that clearly show storm-related damage versus normal wear. We’ve helped hundreds of Oretta homeowners get approved coverage, including many whose initial claims were denied. The key is presenting the evidence correctly from the start, not trying to fix documentation problems after a denial.
Emergency repairs to stop active leaks usually happen within 24 hours of your call, often the same day. We carry tarps, temporary sealants, and emergency materials specifically for urgent situations.
Complete repairs depend on damage extent and weather conditions. Simple fixes like replacing torn shingles might be done in a few hours. More extensive damage requiring structural work typically takes 2-4 days. We’ll secure your home immediately, then schedule permanent repairs during the next suitable weather window. Louisiana weather doesn’t follow convenient schedules, so we’re equipped to work around storms and high humidity.
Our climate creates unique challenges other regions don’t face. Extreme heat cycles that cause thermal expansion and contraction. Hurricane-force winds that require enhanced fastening systems. Humidity levels that promote mold and algae growth. UV exposure that degrades materials faster than northern climates.
Materials that work fine in other states often fail quickly here. We use shingles rated for high-wind zones, enhanced underlayment systems, and proper ventilation designed for humid climates. Installation techniques also differ—fastener patterns, flashing details, and ventilation requirements are all adjusted for Louisiana conditions. It’s not just about fixing the immediate problem, it’s about making sure the repair survives our specific weather challenges.
It depends on your roof’s age, overall condition, and extent of damage. If your roof is under 10 years old with localized storm damage, repair usually makes sense. For roofs over 15 years with widespread damage, replacement often costs less than extensive repairs.
We’ll assess the entire roof system, not just visible damage. Sometimes storm damage reveals underlying problems like poor ventilation or inadequate fastening that indicate systemic issues. Other times, what looks like major damage is actually surface-level and easily repaired. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your roof’s condition and your budget, not what generates the biggest invoice.
Basic repairs like replacing damaged shingles typically run $400-900. More extensive storm damage involving multiple areas usually costs $1,200-3,500. Complex repairs requiring structural work or multiple roof sections can reach $4,000-6,000.
Insurance-covered repairs often fall in the $1,500-2,800 range, depending on your deductible and coverage limits. We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs—materials, labor, and any additional work discovered during repairs. No surprise charges or hidden fees. If insurance is involved, we work directly with adjusters to ensure all necessary repairs are included in your claim settlement.
