Why Metal, Why Here
Built For A Parish That Gets Hit
Calcasieu Parish took two hurricanes in six weeks in 2020. Hurricane Laura came ashore near Cameron in late August as a major hurricane and tore into roofs across Lake Charles, Westlake, and Sulphur, then Hurricane Delta followed in October and hit a lot of the same neighborhoods before the blue tarps had even come off. Homeowners here don't need a sales pitch about wind. They've already seen what a shingle roof does in a Gulf storm, and a lot of them are done replacing shingles every few years.
Standing seam metal roofing is a different proposition. The panels interlock and the fasteners sit hidden underneath, so there's nothing exposed for wind to grab and work loose over time the way it can with exposed-fastener panels or shingles. We build every roof to the wind load your address actually carries, not a generic spec sheet number.

Questions We Get Most
Is standing seam metal roofing actually worth it over shingles here?
For a lot of homeowners in this parish, yes. Standing seam panels have no exposed fasteners for wind to work loose, and a properly installed system commonly carries a service life of 40 to 60 years versus 15 to 25 for asphalt shingles. It costs more upfront. See our cost breakdown for real numbers.
Can you reroof after storm damage before insurance approves everything?
We can tarp and secure the roof immediately to stop further water intrusion, and document the damage with photos your adjuster can use. See our storm damage page for how that process works.
Do you install over an existing shingle roof?
We don't recommend it and generally don't do it. A full tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking underneath, which matters in a humid climate where hidden rot is common.
What if I just need a repair, not a full roof?
We run repair calls for seam leaks, loose panels, and flashing failures separately from full installs. See metal roof repair for pricing and what we check first.
What don't you do?
We don't do flat commercial roofing or single-ply membrane systems. If your building needs that, we'll tell you straight instead of taking the job.
