FAQs

Some signs are easy to see, like missing or cracked shingles, but others are more subtle. Water stains on ceilings or walls, sagging roof areas, or a musty smell in the attic often point to hidden leaks. You might also notice higher energy bills if poor ventilation or insulation is caused by roof damage. Acting on these signs right away prevents expensive repairs later.

If your roof is over 20 years old and needs frequent fixes, replacement is often the better investment. Widespread shingle damage, sagging, or recurring leaks usually indicate that patching won’t solve the problem. An inspection will confirm if a repair will hold or if it’s smarter to invest in a new roof. Replacement offers long-term protection and improves your property’s value.

Asphalt shingles typically last 20–25 years with proper care. Metal roofing lasts longer—often 40–70 years, depending on the type and maintenance. TPO roofing systems, commonly used on commercial buildings, last 20–30 years. Of course, Louisiana’s storms can shorten these lifespans, which makes inspections and upkeep essential.

The best roof depends on your property, budget, and goals. Asphalt shingles are affordable and versatile, making them a popular choice for homeowners. Metal roofing is more expensive upfront but highly durable, energy-efficient, and great for withstanding storms. For businesses with flat roofs, TPO roofing is ideal because it resists water damage and helps lower cooling costs.

Roof replacement costs vary depending on the size of your home, the materials chosen, and how complex the installation is. Asphalt shingles are the most budget-friendly, while metal and TPO systems are more of an investment but save money long term through durability and efficiency.

TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin, a single-ply roofing membrane designed for flat or low-slope roofs. It’s known for being durable, reflective, and cost-effective.

Many commercial property owners choose TPO because of its balance of affordability and performance.
