A new roof is one of the few big home projects you cannot rebid mid-job. Once the shingles are off, the work has to keep moving until it is dry again. We plan the job around that fact: written quote up front, materials staged before tear-off, one crew on site from start to clean-up.
What we install on residential roofs.
- Atlas architectural asphalt shingles. Our most common install for Acadiana homes. Strong wind ratings, deep color blends, and the longer Atlas Pro Gold warranty options.
- Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Higher-grade asphalt shingles that hold up better to hail and may qualify for an insurance discount in Louisiana.
- Standing seam metal roofing. Hidden-fastener metal panels in 24- and 26-gauge. Lasts 40 to 60 years. Sheds water fast and looks clean on modern and traditional homes.
- Exposed-fastener metal panels. Cost-effective metal option for outbuildings, additions, and homes where the look fits.
- FORTIFIED Roof systems. Installed to IBHS FORTIFIED spec for measurable insurance savings and real hurricane resilience.
- Synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield. Modern synthetic underlayment instead of old felt paper. Ice-and-water shield around all roof penetrations and valleys.
- Ridge ventilation and intake vents. Proper attic ventilation that protects the warranty and extends shingle life.
- Drip edge, step flashing, valley metal. The boring details that determine whether a roof leaks in five years. We do them right.
Our process, start to finish.
- 1. Inspection and quote. We climb the roof, measure, photograph problem areas, and give you a written quote with materials, labor, and a timeline. No high-pressure sales pitch in your kitchen.
- 2. Pick your system. We walk you through shingle color, brand options, warranty levels, and any upgrades like FORTIFIED or impact-resistant shingles. You see physical samples, not just a brochure.
- 3. Permits and scheduling. Where required, we pull the permit. We schedule around weather and around your life.
- 4. Tear-off day. Crew arrives early. Yard and landscaping get tarp protection. Old roof comes off and goes straight into our trailer.
- 5. Decking inspection and install. We inspect decking. Anything rotted or soft gets photographed and replaced. New underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and shingles go down to manufacturer spec.
- 6. Clean-up and final walk. Magnetic nail sweep of the driveway and yard. We walk the roof with you, hand over warranty paperwork, and answer questions.
Why homeowners pick us for residential roofing.
- Local crews, not storm chasers. Our crews live in Acadiana and drive past your house every week. They know they will see you again.
- Atlas Pro Gold certified. Most contractors install Atlas shingles. Fewer are certified to install them to the manufacturer spec that qualifies your roof for the longer warranty.
- Fixed written prices. No verbal estimates, no surprise upcharges, no "wait until we open it up" pricing. Decking replacement is itemized at a fair per-sheet rate up front.
- Real workmanship warranty in writing. Spelled out on your contract. Hand-delivered at completion.
- Two offices, one crew quality. Whether the job is in Opelousas or Youngsville, the same standards apply.

What a residential roof costs.
In 2026, most asphalt shingle replacements on average-sized Acadiana homes fall in the $9,000 to $18,000 range. Larger homes, steep pitches, and homes with multiple decking layers run higher. Metal roofs typically start around $18,000 and scale with square footage and panel system. FORTIFIED upgrades add roughly $1,500 to $3,000 over a comparable standard install.
What moves the price:
- Square footage. Bigger roof, more material and labor.
- Pitch and complexity. Steep roofs and roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or hips take longer.
- Decking condition. Hidden rot adds material and labor. We itemize this on the quote.
- Material grade. Standard architectural shingles cost less than impact-resistant or designer shingles. Metal costs more again.
- FORTIFIED or impact upgrades. Optional, but often pay back through insurance savings.
