roof replacement
FREE ESTIMATE

Roof Replacement

We handle the whole replacement from permits to final inspection. Our Start office pulls the permit, coordinates the dumpster, runs the crew, and schedules the building inspector. You sign the contract and we handle the rest.

roof repair
SAME-DAY

Roof Repair

Missing shingles, cracked flashing, a leak over the kitchen. Whatever it is, we fix it. Our Start repair crew runs 6 days a week. Most repairs take half a day.

storm damage repair
LICENSED

Storm Damage Repair

Wind damage doesn't always look obvious from the ground. Lifted shingles, broken seals, exposed nail heads. You can't see any of that without getting on the roof. Our Start inspector does a full 27-point inspection, free of charge.

new roof installation
TOP RATED

New Roof Installation

Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles with Scotchgard algae protection. Ideal for Louisiana humidity. We also install Tamko Heritage laminated shingles for budget-conscious builds and Malarkey Vista AR with Flexor SBS polymer-modified asphalt for high-wind zones. Your installer should match your material choice to your climate, not just your budget.

metal roofing
GUARANTEED

Metal Roofing

Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in Start. We install 29-gauge and 26-gauge corrugated with exposed fasteners using neoprene washer screws. For homes, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Cleaner look, no exposed fastener maintenance. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles give you the metal longevity with a traditional Louisiana aesthetic.

shingle roofing
INSURED

Shingle Roofing

Your shingle choice determines your warranty, your curb appeal, and how your roof handles Louisiana weather. We'll show you samples, explain the differences, and let you pick what fits your budget. No pressure.

flat roofing
FREE ESTIMATE

Flat Roofing

A flat roof that's ponding water is a flat roof with a problem. We install tapered insulation systems to create positive drainage to your scuppers or interior drains. No more standing water after rain.

commercial roofing
SAME-DAY

Commercial Roofing

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Louisiana. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

gutter installation
LICENSED

Gutter Installation

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Louisiana's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.

roof inspection
TOP RATED

Roof Inspection

Roof inspections after a storm are free. Always. We document hail hits, wind damage, and any pre-existing issues so your insurance claim is accurate and complete.

emergency roof repair
GUARANTEED

Emergency Roof Repair

Emergency tarping is the first priority. We cover the exposed area to stop water entry, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow. We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. It's part of the repair cost.

skylight installation
INSURED

Skylight Installation

Tubular skylights bring light into tight spaces. Closets, laundry rooms, interior bathrooms. They use a reflective tube through the attic space, so they work even when the roof is far from the ceiling. Installed in a few hours.

Simple Process

How It Works

1

Schedule Your Inspection

Our inspector walks the roof looking at shingle condition, flashing integrity, vent function, and signs of moisture underneath. 30-45 minutes for most Start homes.

2

Transparent Pricing

You get a written proposal with material specs, labor breakdown, timeline, and total cost. The number on the quote is the number you pay. No change orders, no hidden fees.

3

Roof Goes On

Our crews average 8 years of experience each. They tear off the old roof, inspect the decking, replace any damaged boards, and install your new system from the deck up.

4

Warranty Activation

Before we leave: magnetic nail sweep across the entire yard, driveway, and walkways. Dump trailer hauled off. Gutters cleaned out. Your property looks better than when we arrived.

"Our roof was 22 years old and starting to curl. They did a full tear-off and installed Timberline HDZ in Weathered Wood. Looks incredible. Crew was fast and cleaned up everything."

"Went with the Owens Corning Duration shingles in Estate Gray. The SureNail strip is legit. You can see each shingle is locked down tight. Happy with the choice."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer 12-month same-as-cash, low-interest plans up to 144 months, and no-money-down options through GreenSky and Hearth. Credit approval takes about 5 minutes. A new roof is a major expense. Financing lets you get it done now without draining your savings.

Manufacturer warranties range from 30 years to lifetime depending on the shingle line. Our workmanship warranty covers our labor and installation for the term stated in your contract. The best combo is the GAF Golden Pledge: 50-year material plus 25-year workmanship. That's what being a Master Elite contractor gets you.

A typical Start home with a 25-35 square roof runs $10,000-$18,000 for a full tear-off and install with architectural shingles. Steep-pitch homes and multi-story homes cost more because of safety requirements and access difficulty. Metal roofing is $12-$22 per sq ft. We quote exact numbers, not ranges.

Here's the process: we inspect your roof for free, document any storm damage with photos, and help you file the claim. Your insurance company sends an adjuster. We meet them on-site and walk the roof together. If approved, we do the work at the agreed price. If the estimate seems low, we supplement it with additional documentation.

Most residential roofs in Start are done in one day. We show up at 7 AM, tear off the old roof, install the new system, and clean up by end of day. Two-story homes, steep pitches, or large roofs might take two days. We never leave a house uncovered overnight.
