A good roof is vital to the health of your home in New Orleans. It protects you and your family from wind and rain and keeps pests out of your home. It also helps prevent water damage and indoor mold growth.

Types of roofing materials we offer

Asphalt Shingle

Asphalt is the most popular roofing material in the U.S. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to install. It's also very effective at keeping out moisture. The downside is that an asphalt roof may be more vulnerable to wind and sun damage than some other roofs.

Metal

Many homeowners like metal roofs because they are durable but lightweight, as well as very fire- and wind-resistant. These roofs are expensive up front but can save you money on your energy bills in the long run. They're effective at keeping your home cool even in New Orleans' warmer temperatures.

Slate

Slate is a natural material that is very sustainable and can last a long time with minimal maintenance. However, these benefits mean that slate costs more up front, the infrequent repairs may be more expensive, and your warranty options may be more limited. We recommend speaking with one of our All Star roofing experts to find out more.

Clay

Clay roofs may be desirable in New Orleans due to their high solar reflectivity, which helps keep homes cool in the summer. Clay is also very resistant to fire, water, and pests. Clay lasts a long time but can be very expensive to install, partly due to its heavy weight. We recommend talking to one of our All Star roofing experts to learn whether a clay roof is a good fit for your home.

Cedar

Many people like cedar or other wood roofs due to their timeless look. Wood is also a very long-lasting and environmentally conscious option. The downside to wood is that it can require more maintenance than other materials. Also, while it can be treated to resist fire, it's not inherently fire-resistant like some other materials.

Synthetic

Synthetic roofs can be made to look like other materials (such as slate or cedar) and last a very long time. Synthetic tiles are lightweight but extremely durable. One thing that turns homeowners away from synthetic roofs is the cost. If you're interested in a synthetic roof, one of our All Star roofing pros can provide a free price estimate.

signs you may need a new roof

Age of the Roof

Roofs typically last between 15 and 30 years. Your roof's lifespan will depend on the weather in your part of Louisiana, the roofing material, and how well it's been taken care of. If your roof is approaching or within this age range, we suggest having one of our All Star roofing experts perform an inspection and tell you whether we recommend a full replacement.

Shingle Edges are Curled

If your shingles are starting to peel or curl, it may be time to think about replacing your roof. Some shingle damage is normal (especially with New Orleans' severe storms), but if you're noticing excessive peeling or large bald spots, it could signal that your roof is near the end of its lifespan. A local New Orleans roofing expert can perform an inspection and tell you if the damage is typical for your area or if your roof has simply worn out.

Cracked Shingles

Like curling, cracking is sometimes a normal part of shingle wear and tear. Here, the same rule applies: if you notice severe cracking or large areas that are missing shingles, it's time to consult a roofing professional.

Saggy or Droopy Spots

Roofs typically sag for one of two reasons: insufficient support underneath or too much weight on top. Over time, your roof's internal supports can sustain damage from pests, water, or humidity or can simply wear out naturally. Wind and rain can stress your roof from the outside, putting increased pressure on the supports. Either or both of these issues can lead to a droopy or saggy roof. Often, replacing your roof is the best way to ensure all supports are in the best shape possible.

Moss

Due to the area's heavy rainfall, you might have frequent problems with mold, mildew, and moss growing on your roof. Moss is the most visible of the three, but mold and mildew can pose serious health risks if they get inside your home. Frequent plant and mold growth might signal that your roof needs to be replaced.

Visible Leaks

One obvious sign of roof issues is visible leaking, particularly in your attic or near where your walls meet the ceiling. Some leaks might be easily fixable, but it's always a good idea to have an inspection. This can help identify whether the leak is part of a larger problem. Our local experts are trained to identify and repair the source of leaks and are eager to help you keep your home safe and dry.
