Your roof isn’t just shingles and nails. It’s what stands between your family and Louisiana’s hurricanes, hail, and scorching summers.
When we’re done, you get a roof that handles whatever Mother Nature throws at it. No more midnight calls about leaks during storms. No more insurance headaches or surprise repair bills six months later.
You get peace of mind knowing your home can weather the next hurricane season without turning your living room into a swimming pool.
Southern Roofing Solutions has been protecting homes across Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana for years. We know what Gulf Coast weather does to roofs because we deal with the same storms you do.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears after the next hurricane. We’re your neighbors, fully licensed and insured, with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating that we’ve earned one satisfied customer at a time.
When Hurricane Laura hit, we were here. When the next storm comes, we’ll be here then too.
First, we show up when we say we will and give you a straight answer about what’s wrong with your roof. No sales pitch, no pressure tactics.
We handle your insurance paperwork and deal with adjusters so you don’t have to. Our written estimate includes everything upfront – no hidden fees or surprise charges when the job’s done.
Then we fix your roof using hurricane-rated materials designed for Louisiana weather. We clean up completely when we’re finished, and you get comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship.
Ready to get started?
Every roof we install uses materials specifically rated for Gulf Coast conditions. That means hurricane clips, reinforced fasteners, and shingles that won’t curl up and blow away in the next storm.
Westlake sits right in hurricane alley, and we’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners. Roofs that look fine until the first big wind event, then fail catastrophically. We use the same materials and techniques that have kept our customers’ roofs intact through multiple hurricane seasons.
You also get 24/7 emergency service because roof leaks don’t wait for business hours. When you call during a storm, you reach us, not some answering service three states away.
Most residential roof replacements in Westlake take 1-3 days depending on your home’s size and complexity. Weather can extend this timeline – we won’t work in unsafe conditions that could damage your home or put our crew at risk.
We start early and work efficiently, but we don’t rush quality. A roof replacement done right the first time beats having to tear off and redo shoddy work later.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden storm damage like hail, wind, and hurricane damage. What they don’t cover is gradual wear, maintenance issues, or damage from roofs that weren’t properly installed.
We handle the insurance process for you – documenting damage, meeting with adjusters, and making sure you get what your policy covers. We know how insurance companies operate and what documentation they need.
The key is getting damage inspected quickly after a storm. Waiting months to file a claim makes the process harder and gives insurance companies reasons to deny coverage.
For Louisiana’s hurricanes and heat, you want materials that can handle high winds and UV exposure. Impact-resistant shingles rated for 130+ mph winds are your best bet for most homes.
Metal roofing performs exceptionally well here – it sheds wind and rain better than shingles and can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%. The upfront cost is higher, but it lasts longer and handles storms better.
Whatever material you choose, proper installation with hurricane clips and reinforced fasteners matters more than the brand name on the shingle.
Hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Look for dented gutters, damaged air conditioning units, or bruised landscaping – these are signs hail was large enough to damage your roof.
On the roof itself, hail creates granule loss on shingles, exposed mat, or actual cracks and holes. Even small hail can knock granules loose, which shortens your roof’s lifespan and voids warranties.
Don’t climb up there yourself – it’s dangerous and you might miss damage or accidentally cause more. We provide free storm damage inspections and can spot issues that aren’t visible from ground level.
Emergency repairs stop immediate damage – tarping holes, sealing leaks, securing loose materials. These are temporary fixes to protect your home until permanent repairs can be made.
Full replacement becomes necessary when damage is extensive, your roof is near the end of its lifespan, or repair costs approach replacement costs. Insurance companies often prefer replacement over multiple repair claims.
We’ll tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a $500 repair buys you several more years. Other times, trying to patch an old roof is throwing good money after bad.
Local roofers understand Louisiana weather patterns, building codes, and insurance requirements. We know which materials perform best in Gulf Coast conditions because we’ve seen them tested by real storms.
When problems arise, we’re here to fix them. National companies often subcontract work to local crews anyway, then add markup and overhead. You get the same workers at higher prices with less accountability.
We also know local suppliers, permitting processes, and can respond quickly during storm season when you need emergency repairs. Try getting a national company to prioritize your emergency call over their larger markets.
