Every Roofing Service We Offer in Lake Charles, LA

Replacing a roof in Calcasieu Parish is a sheathing job with shingles on top. The deck under your 2021 roof spent five weeks in 2020 holding down a tarp, and nobody wrote down what that did to it. Here is the sequence that matters, because it explains almost every deck we open.

• tear off and reroof
• roof deck replacement
• OSB sheathing replacement

Most leaks we chase in Lake Charles are not flashing failures. They are 2020 tarp screws that nobody pulled, sitting in the middle of a field of shingles where no reasonable person would think to look for water. The tell is geometry, and you cannot unsee it once you know.

Southwest Louisiana homes carry two named-storm events six weeks apart, and five years on the paperwork still matters. Sorting what Laura did from what Delta did is the first job on almost every restoration scope we write here. The two storms did different work.

Hail is not what breaks roofs in Calcasieu Parish, and we will say that before we say anything else. Southwest Louisiana does get hail out of spring squall lines, but the damage that put this parish under tarps was wind and water. We still inspect for it properly, because it does happen and because a genuine bruise is worth documenting while it is fresh.

• hail damage roof Lake Charles
• hail test square
• hail bruise shingle
• hail roof inspection
• hail claim denied
• soft metal hail damage
• spring hail Louisiana
• hail damage assessment
• hail roof repair

The wind damage that matters here is usually invisible from the driveway. A shingle that lost its sealant bond in 2020 still looks fine, still lies flat on a calm day, and lifts like a page in a book every time a squall comes up the Calcasieu. Asphalt shingles depend on a strip of factory adhesive that softens in the sun and glues each course down to the one below it.

• wind damage roof repair
• shingle sealant bond failure
• hand sealing shingles
• wind lifted shingles
• missing shingles repair
• ridge cap blown off
• drip edge wind damage
• wind uplift shingle
• hurricane wind roof damage
• unsealed shingle tabs

Our inspections start in your attic, not on your roof. In Lake Charles the evidence that decides your scope is on the underside of the sheathing, and you cannot see one bit of it from a ladder. What we are looking for is the grid.

• attic roof inspection
• roof deck condition report
• pre purchase roof inspection
• tarp damage inspection
• roof certification inspection
• sheathing moisture check
• roof condition photos
• paid roof inspection

Architectural asphalt is the right shingle for almost every house in this parish. The question worth asking is not which brand to buy. It is what actually got installed on your house during the rebuild, because plenty of it was assembled from whatever came off the truck that morning.

• asphalt shingle roof Lake Charles
• architectural shingles
• laminated shingle roof
• shingle color mismatch
• starter strip shingles
• hip and ridge caps
• shingle warranty registration
• six nail shingle pattern

Metal makes real sense on the right house here, and the finish matters more than the metal underneath it. Along the Calcasieu Ship Channel you have plant emissions and gulf air working on the same panel, and that combination is what the cheap coatings are not warranted against. Start with the part nobody selling metal reads aloud.

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.

What exists in this parish is mostly concrete barrel and flat-profile tile on custom builds from the 1990s and 2000s, concentrated in Prien and the south Lake Charles subdivisions, plus a handful of clay roofs on older commercial and institutional buildings downtown.

• tile roof repair Lake Charles

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. They are also the sections most likely to still carry 2020 damage, because triage crews tarped the steep roof first.

• flat roof repair Lake Charles
• low slope porch roof
• TPO residential roof
• modified bitumen roof
• carport roof replacement
• low slope tie in
• ponding water flat roof

Sell you a coating over a storm-patched deck and we have taken your money to make your problem worse.

• roof coating Lake Charles
• silicone roof coating
• acrylic roof restoration

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. Cutting the slot is a separate operation from installing the vent, and that is why it goes missing.

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. The distinction is worth understanding before anybody quotes you.

• curb mounted skylight

Gutters here are not really about capacity, they are about where the water lands. Calcasieu Parish is flat, the water table sits high, and a downspout dumping four hundred gallons at a slab corner during a September rain is a foundation problem wearing a roofing costume.

We hang six-inch seamless K-style aluminum as the default, roll-formed on site so there is not a single joint in a run, with downspouts in the three-by-four size rather than the smaller two-by-three profile the tract builders here used.

• seamless gutters Lake Charles

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. The eave detail is not visible from the road.

• soffit replacement
• vinyl soffit panels
• J channel soffit
• rotted fascia board
• PVC trim fascia
• soffit blow out wind

Most of what gets called a chimney leak in Lake Charles is neither a chimney nor flashing. It is a rusted metal chase cover on a factory-built fireplace, and that is a two hundred dollar part sitting on top of a two thousand dollar repair if you leave it alone. Masonry chimneys are uncommon in the housing stock here.

• chimney flashing Lake Charles
• chase cover replacement
• rusted chase cover
• prefab fireplace chase
• step flashing chimney
• counterflashing reglet
• chimney cricket saddle
• chimney leak repair

We tarp with battens like everybody else, because on a shingled slope in wind there is no other method that holds. What we do differently is write down every hole we make and come back to deal with it. In this parish that is not a small distinction.

• storm tarp install
• blue roof tarp
• temporary roof cover
• batten tarp method
• self adhered dry in

Commercial roofing in this parish means working around operating industry. Between the Ship Channel plants, the contractors who serve them, and the warehouse and office stock along Interstate 10, plenty of our work happens on sites where a torch is not going anywhere near a roof. That single constraint decides the system before anything else does.

• commercial roofing Lake Charles

• industrial roofing contractor

We are roofers, not adjusters, and in Louisiana that line is a legal one. We document a roof thoroughly enough that your adjuster has nothing left to guess about, then answer questions on site. We do not negotiate claims or promise outcomes.

• insolvent insurer roof claim

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
