Metal Roofing Installation
We install premium metal roofing systems designed to withstand hurricane-force winds exceeding 130 mph. Our products include standing seam panels, steel shingles, and aluminum shake options that provide lifetime protection while reducing cooling costs through energy-efficient coatings. Each installation follows strict quality standards with concealed fasteners and interlocking designs that prevent water intrusion and ensure long-term durability in Louisiana's climate.
Storm Shutters
Our storm shutter systems provide comprehensive protection for windows and doors during extreme weather events. Engineered to meet local building codes, these shutters combine durability with ease of operation while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Installation includes professional measurement and customization to ensure proper fit and maximum protection for residential properties in hurricane-prone areas.
Standing Seam Roofs
We specialize in standing seam metal roofing featuring 24-gauge steel panels with concealed fasteners. This system provides superior weather resistance through its interlocking design while offering energy savings via Kynar 500 coating technology. Available in multiple color options, these roofs install quickly over existing materials and provide decades of maintenance-free performance with lifetime warranties.
Steel Shingle Roofs
Our steel shingle systems combine traditional aesthetics with modern durability. These Class 4 impact-resistant shingles feature advanced coating systems that resist fading and chalk while maintaining fire resistance ratings. Designed for Louisiana's climate, they provide 20%+ energy savings through thermal break technology while offering the appearance of conventional roofing materials with superior longevity.
Roof Replacement
We handle complete roof replacement projects from initial assessment to final installation. Our process includes detailed inspections, material selection guidance, and seamless transitions from old roofing systems. Projects maintain structural integrity while upgrading to energy-efficient metal systems that eliminate common issues with asphalt shingles through professional removal and proper underlayment preparation.

Report
Called for roofing quote, The gentleman that arrived was really nice and professional I do say. After getting the quotes I found them to be really high per Square compaired to several other companies to do the same job. I new how many squares were on the home and for some reason they didn't call me back after I requested them to submit how many squares they were caulclating for the job. Kinda makes a person think when people don't think the other person knows the difference between a 6/12 and a 18/12 pitch.
