Lake Charles Premium Roofing provides professional wind damage roofing in Lake Charles, LA for residential and commercial properties across Southwest Louisiana. 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. Sustained wind pries that bond open along the leading edge. Once it is open it does not reliably re-seal, partly because the exposed adhesive picks up dust and pollen within days, and partly because a lifted shingle no longer sits flat enough for the two faces to find each other again.
So we test by hand rather than by eye. Slide a flat bar under the leading edge of a tab on each elevation and feel whether it resists or peels away quietly. On a healthy roof the adhesive fights you and the tab tears first. On a roof that took 128 mph at the airport in 2020 and another 88 mph gust six weeks later, whole slopes come up clean and silent, and that silence is the finding.
An unsealed slope is not automatically a replacement, and this is where we differ from most of the trucks in this market. On a roof under roughly eight years old with sound, flexible shingles, hand-sealing with quarter-sized dabs of asphalt roof cement under each tab is a legitimate, durable repair. It is cheap, it holds, and we do a good deal of it rather than selling tear-offs nobody needs.
Hand-sealing stops making sense at a clear point. When the mat has gone brittle and tabs crack as you lift them, when the granule loss is heavy enough that you are gluing down sandpaper, or when more than about a third of the field has let go, you are buying the same labor twice and the second bill is the big one.
We check the edges on every wind call, because that is where wind gets its start. Drip edge that was never fastened at six inches on center, ridge caps set with two nails instead of four, and rake edges with no starter course underneath are the three failures we find most often on rebuild-era work.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing 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.
