Lake Charles Premium Roofing provides professional roof replacement in Lake Charles, LA for residential and commercial properties across Southwest Louisiana. 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. Laura came ashore at Cameron on August 27, 2020 with 150 mph winds, and the airport south of town clocked a 128 mph gust before the instruments quit. Crews tarped what they could reach. Delta landed at Creole on October 9, forty-three days later, with roughly six thousand area homes still sitting under cover.
Those tarps went down the only way that works on a shingled slope in wind: furring strips laid over the edges and screwed straight through into the sheathing at about a foot on center. One install puts dozens of holes through your deck. Plenty of houses in this parish got tarped twice. When the permanent roof went on in 2021 or 2022, most of those holes went under new felt without anybody cutting out the panel.
So we quote deck work as its own line before we quote shingles. You get a per-sheet price for 7/16-inch OSB, a per-linear-foot price for rotted fascia, and a rafter repair rate, all written down and all agreed before the first bundle lands in your driveway. A price that assumes an intact deck is a price that will change on you halfway through Tuesday morning.
We are equally blunt when there is nothing wrong. If the sheathing is sound and only the field is worn, we say so and the deck line stays at zero for the whole job. Roughly a third of the reroofs we look at around here need no panel work at all, and quietly adding a few sheets anyway would be the easiest money in this business.
The rest of the assembly is ordinary and we do it the ordinary way. Synthetic underlayment, hemmed drip metal set over the fascia and under the felt at the eave, closed-cut valleys, H-clips at unsupported panel joints, six nails per shingle in the manufacturer's nailing zone, and a permit with a scheduled inspection, because Louisiana has required one on every reroof since August 2025. None of it is exotic. It is what decides how long the roof lasts.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — batten-screw penetrations, 7/16-inch OSB roof sheathing, 1x4 furring battens, self-adhered modified bitumen dry-in, 24-gauge snap-lock standing seam, Kynar 500 PVDF coil coating — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Lake Charles and nearby communities including Sulphur, Moss Bluff, DeRidder, Jennings.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with batten-screw penetrations, 7/16-inch OSB roof sheathing, 1x4 furring battens, self-adhered modified bitumen dry-in, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Lake Charles job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Southwest Louisiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Lake Charles Chooses Lake Charles Premium Roofing
- ✓We inspect from inside the attic before we get on the roof, because in this parish the evidence that decides your scope is on the underside of the sheathing.
- ✓Your quote separates deck work from roof work with a per-sheet price in writing, so a soft panel is a number you already agreed to rather than a change order.
- ✓We charge for inspections and never credit them against a job. That is the only way the report stays a report instead of a sales document with photographs.
- ✓One manufacturer's system, ordered in a single production lot, with the lot numbers handed to you on the invoice so your warranty registration actually goes through.
