Roofing in Louisiana

Louisiana sits in the Gulf hurricane corridor, where the storms, the salt air, and the tropical humidity test every roof. The hurricanes bring the high wind and the heavy rain, the salt corrodes the metal, and the humidity feeds the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Louisiana means building roofs for the storms, the salt, and the heat — and we do it in 13 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Louisiana

The state splits into several roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The coastal and metro cities — Kenner, Slidell, Hammond, and the New Orleans area — face the salt air off the Gulf and the hurricane wind. The metal and the tile handle the coast the best.

The central and northern cities — Alexandria, Monroe, Ruston, and Bossier City — face the heat, the humidity, and the storm wind.

The western and southern cities — Lake Charles, Sulphur, Houma, and New Iberia — face the hurricane landfalls and the Gulf humidity.

Louisiana Roofing Considerations

The hurricane is the dominant force across the state. The storm season brings the high wind and the heavy rain that test every roof. The impact-rated shingles and the metal roofs handle the wind the best.

The salt air corrodes the metal flashing and the fasteners near the coast. The stainless fasteners and the aluminum gutters handle the salt.

The heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes. The algae-resistant shingles and the regular cleaning extend the roof life.
