You know what it’s like living in Carlyss. One day you’re fine, the next you’re dealing with wind damage, missing shingles, or water dripping through your ceiling after another Louisiana storm rolled through.
When your roof repair is done right, you sleep better. No more buckets in the living room. No more wondering if that next weather alert means you’ll be calling your insurance company again. Just solid protection over your head that actually works when you need it most.
Your neighbors aren’t dealing with constant roof problems because they found contractors who understand what Louisiana weather does to roofs—and more importantly, how to fix them so they stay fixed.
Southern Roofing Solutions isn’t some outfit that showed up after the last big storm. We’re local contractors who’ve been serving Carlyss and the surrounding area, understanding exactly what your roof faces living this close to the Gulf.
We know the difference between a quick patch job and a repair that’ll hold up against the next hurricane season. When you call us, you’re working with people who live here too—people who understand that your roof isn’t just shingles and nails, it’s what keeps your family safe and dry.
You won’t find us gone when the next storm hits. We’ll be right here, just like we always have been, ready to help our neighbors when they need it most.
First, we come out and actually look at your roof—not just from the ground with binoculars, but a real inspection to see what’s damaged and what’s not. No guessing, no inflating problems that aren’t there.
Then we give you a straight answer about what needs fixing and what it’ll cost. If insurance is involved, we handle that conversation so you don’t have to become a roofing expert overnight. We’ve dealt with every major carrier and know exactly what they need to see.
When we start the work, we protect your property, fix what’s broken, and clean up completely when we’re done. You won’t find nails in your driveway or debris in your flower beds. The job’s not finished until your property looks better than when we arrived.

Living in Carlyss means your roof takes a beating from Gulf Coast weather. We’re talking about repairs that account for Louisiana’s specific challenges—high winds, driving rain, extreme heat, and humidity levels that can hit 90%.
Your repair includes proper flashing around chimneys and vents, because that’s where most Louisiana roofs start leaking. We use wind-rated materials designed for hurricane conditions, not generic supplies that might work fine in Nebraska but won’t last a season here.
Every repair comes with our workmanship warranty, because we’re not going anywhere. When we fix your roof, we’re betting our local reputation that it’ll hold up against whatever weather comes next. That’s not something out-of-town contractors can promise you.
We understand that roof emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. When your roof is damaged, especially after a storm, water damage gets worse by the hour.
For emergency situations, we can typically have someone out to assess the damage and provide temporary protection within 24 hours. This might mean tarping a damaged section or emergency patching to stop active leaks while we prepare for permanent repairs.
Our goal is always to prevent additional damage to your home’s interior while we work on getting your roof properly repaired. We keep emergency supplies on hand specifically for these situations because we know how unpredictable Louisiana weather can be.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and can handle most of the claim process for you. We’ve been dealing with insurance adjusters for years and know exactly what documentation they need to approve your claim.
We’ll meet with your adjuster, provide detailed damage assessments, and make sure nothing gets missed during their inspection. Often, adjusters who aren’t familiar with Louisiana’s specific weather challenges might overlook damage that we know to look for.
We also help you understand what your policy covers and what it doesn’t, so there are no surprises when it comes time to pay. The goal is to get your roof properly repaired with as little stress on you as possible.
When done correctly with the right materials, most repairs should last 10-15 years, even with Louisiana’s challenging weather conditions. The key is using materials specifically rated for high-wind, high-humidity environments.
We don’t use generic roofing materials that might work fine in other climates but won’t hold up here. Everything from the shingles to the underlayment to the fasteners is chosen specifically for Gulf Coast conditions.
The repairs that fail quickly are usually the ones done with substandard materials or by contractors who don’t understand how Louisiana weather affects different roofing components. When you invest in proper repairs, you shouldn’t be dealing with the same problems again in a couple of years.
A patch is a temporary fix designed to stop immediate damage—think emergency tarping or a quick seal to stop a leak. It’s meant to buy you time, not solve the problem permanently.
A proper repair addresses the underlying cause of the problem. If shingles blew off, we don’t just slap new ones over damaged decking. We inspect and replace any compromised underlayment or decking, then install new shingles with proper fastening for wind resistance.
The difference shows up during the next storm. Patches might hold for a while, but proper repairs are designed to handle whatever Louisiana weather throws at them. When we do a repair, we’re fixing it so you don’t have to worry about that spot again.
Repair costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage and what needs to be fixed. Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing small leaks might run a few hundred dollars. Major repairs involving structural damage or large sections of roofing can reach several thousand.
The key is getting an honest assessment upfront. We’ll tell you exactly what needs fixing and what it’ll cost before any work begins. No surprise charges, no discovering “additional problems” once we’re on your roof.
For storm damage, insurance often covers most or all of the repair costs. We’ll work with your insurance company to make sure you get the coverage you’re entitled to, and we can often work within your insurance settlement to get your roof properly repaired.
Yes, all our repair work comes with a workmanship warranty because we stand behind our work. The specific warranty period depends on the type and extent of the repair, but you’ll know exactly what’s covered before we start.
We’re not going anywhere—we’re local contractors who have been serving this area for years. When we warranty our work, we mean it, because our reputation in this community depends on it.
Material warranties come directly from the manufacturers, and we only use materials from companies that back their products with solid warranties. When you combine quality materials with proper installation, you get repairs that last.
