Roof Replacement
After tear-off, we always check decking and replace what's needed. Soft spots mean moisture intrusion. The old roof was leaking longer than you realized. We use 7/16" or 15/32" CDX plywood depending on rafter spacing. New decking costs $75-$120 per sheet installed. We only replace what's actually damaged.

Storm Damage Repair
Wind damage and hail damage look different and require different documentation. Our HAAG-trained inspectors know what adjusters look for: granule displacement patterns, fractures in the shingle mat, seal failures, cracked ridge caps. Proper documentation is why our claims get approved.

Metal Roofing
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel standing seam panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stress on the fasteners. That's why standing seam doesn't leak. The clips float.

Shingle Roofing
Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Louisiana winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Transylvania home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

Flat Roofing
PVC membrane for Transylvania restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in Louisiana. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.

Gutter Installation
We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.

Skylight Installation
Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
