Roofing in Starks, LA
The population figure this site carries for Starks is 659. The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey puts it at 314, with a margin of error of 192 in either direction. We would rather flag that than quietly use the smaller number, because a place this size can move that far on sampling noise alone and neither figure deserves much confidence.
What the survey does say clearly is that 56 percent of housing units in Starks are manufactured homes and only about a quarter are owner-occupied, the lowest ownership share anywhere on this site. Both numbers change what a roofing conversation in this town actually has to cover before anyone talks about color.
A rented manufactured unit is a different negotiation from a family home. The person who notices the ceiling stain is frequently not the person who signs for the repair, and the roof itself is often a low-slope metal assembly on which a shingle bid is simply the wrong product quoted at the wrong price.
Starks holds a share of the largest hailstone recorded over any town on this site. On 31 May 2007 a report from here measured 2.75 inches, matched only by Oberlin in 2001 among our twenty-six towns, and exceeded in the wider six-parish file by a four-inch stone that fell at Reeves, in Allen Parish, in March 2009.
The December 2017 tornado filed here was rated EF1, ran about three miles and was surveyed at 600 yards wide. Width matters more than rating when you are counting roofs, because a wide EF1 strips edge metal off more houses across more streets than a narrow EF2 ever manages to.
The December 2017 tornado filed here was rated EF1, ran about three miles and was surveyed at 600 yards wide. Width matters more than rating when you are counting roofs, because a wide EF1 strips edge metal off more houses across more streets than a narrow EF2 ever manages to, and it does it without leaving the photograph that makes a claim easy.
Because Starks is unincorporated, the permit and the inspection are both Calcasieu Parish matters. We pull it there and schedule the inspection there, and the fee goes into your written scope at the front rather than turning up as a line you have never seen once the shingles are already off.
About Starks, LA — and why local matters here
Starks sits in Calcasieu Parish with a population of roughly 659, close enough to Lake Charles that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Starks mayhaw festival grounds, Louisiana Highway 12 west of Starks.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Starks properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Calcasieu Parish, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Starks, LA
Lake Charles Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Starks that we do in Lake Charles — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Tile Roofing — We service tile in Lake Charles, and we will also tell you we would not put it on a new house here. Tile belongs to markets with different problems than ours, and the local inventory is small enough that every tile roof is a one-off.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — The low-slope roofs on Lake Charles houses are almost all add-ons. A carport, a back porch, a room built out under the main slope in 1978.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — Sell you a coating over a storm-patched deck and we have taken your money to make your problem worse. On most Lake Charles houses that is precisely what a residential roof coating would do, so the answer on this page is usually to spend nothing.
- Roof Ventilation — Attic ventilation on rebuild-era roofs here fails for a dull reason: the slot never got cut. A ridge vent screwed down over solid sheathing looks entirely correct from the street and moves exactly no air, and we find it often enough that we now check it first.
- Skylights — Skylights on this coast have one honest rule: buy the unit with the manufacturer's own flashing kit and let the factory own the waterproofing. Site-built curbs flashed by whoever was on the roof that day are the ones that leak, and 2020 was hard on them.
- Fascia & Soffit — Fascia and soffit are where wind gets into a house, and in this parish they are also where the 2021 repairs were cheapest. A slope of shingles is visible from the road so it got done properly.
