Services
Roof Replacement
Our code-compliant roof replacements feature clean tear-offs, deck repairs, and manufacturer-approved installations. We use impact-rated shingles and sealed deck systems to withstand Gulf Coast storms while improving energy efficiency. Each project includes ventilation optimization and lifetime warranty protection.
Storm Damage Repair
Emergency tarping stabilizes active leaks while our certified technicians document damage for insurance claims. Permanent repairs use FORTIFIED standards with photo-verified quality control to restore roof integrity after hurricane or hail events.
Impact-Resistant Windows
Certified installations of DP/PG-rated windows with laminated glass and reinforced frames. Our hurricane windows reduce noise, lower energy costs, and protect against wind-borne debris while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Seamless Gutters
Custom-formed 6" K-style gutters with 3x4" downspouts manage heavy Gulf Coast rainfall. We install heavy-duty hidden hangers and kick-out flashing to prevent water damage while maintaining clean exterior lines.
FORTIFIED Roofing
IBHS-certified FORTIFIED installations feature sealed decks, enhanced edge protection, and verified fastener schedules. These systems qualify for Louisiana grant programs and often reduce insurance premiums through improved storm resilience.
