What we repair
The repairs local roofs need most
Most roof trouble here starts in one of five places. Pick one to see how we handle it.
Leaks
Leak detection and repair
Water can run along rafters and sheathing before it shows up inside, so we trace every leak back to where it enters.
Get This Repaired- Systematic tracing
- Water path followed
- Entry point located
- Repair at the source
Shingle repair and replacement
Whether it is a few shingles or a larger section, we match your existing materials as closely as possible.

Flashing
Flashing, vents and penetrations
Plumbing vents, exhaust fans and skylights are common leak sources, and flashing often fails before the rest of the roof does.

Decking and structural repair
When water has reached the plywood decking or the roof structure, we repair or replace those sections before new roofing goes on.

Repair or replace
Is a repair enough, or is it time for a new roof?
If damage is localized and the roof is not near the end of its life, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Our inspection tells you which side you are on.
| What we see | A repair is usually enough | Replacement may make more sense |
|---|---|---|
| Roof age | Less than 15 to 20 years old | Approaching the end of its expected lifespan |
| Shingles | A few missing or damaged shingles | Damage spread across the roof |
| Leaks | One isolated leak | Multiple active leaks |
| Flashing | Minor flashing damage | Flashing failure alongside wider damage |
| Roof shape | Small areas of wear | Significant sagging |
Local conditions
Why New Orleans roofs wear out faster
Humidity, heavy rainfall, hurricane-force winds and extreme heat add up to conditions most regions never see. Without prompt repairs, small problems grow.
Rain and leaks
Frequent heavy rain turns even a small leak into water stains, mold and structural damage in attics, ceilings and walls.
Heat and humidity
Our humid subtropical climate speeds up shingle deterioration, so shingles crack, curl and blow away sooner.
Moss and algae
Moisture feeds organic growth on roof surfaces, which traps water against the shingles and speeds up decay.
These are the problems we see most often on New Orleans roofs.

Questions
Roof repair questions
Timing, cost and insurance, answered plainly.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
If damage is limited to one area and your roof is less than 15 to 20 years old, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Widespread damage, multiple active leaks, significant sagging or a roof near the end of its life point toward replacement.
Why can't I find where my roof is leaking?
Water often travels along rafters and sheathing before it appears inside, so the stain on your ceiling may be far from the entry point. We trace the leak back to its origin before we repair it.
What types of roofs do you repair?
Asphalt shingle, metal, flat and low-slope, tile and slate roofs. Whatever covers your home, we match the existing material as closely as possible.
What affects the cost of a roof repair?
Your roof's size, its material, how easy it is to reach and how far the damage goes. We inspect for free and give you a detailed estimate before any work starts.
How quickly can you repair my roof?
Standard repairs are typically scheduled within one to two weeks of estimate approval, depending on our workload and the weather. Most repairs are finished in a single day, though larger jobs can take longer.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs?
Insurance typically covers damage from sudden events like storms, hail, fallen trees or fire, and usually not wear and tear or gradual deterioration. We can document storm damage with photos and a detailed estimate to support your claim.
When should I call my insurer about roof damage?
Promptly, as soon as you discover storm-related damage. Then we can inspect the roof and give you the documentation your claim needs.
