Roof Replacement in Shreveport
Compare written quotes from local providers
A full roof replacement is a big job, and it is easy to feel unsure where to start. Shreveport Roof Replacement is a referral service for Shreveport homeowners who need a whole new roof. We connect you with independent local providers in our network. The providers do the work, set their own prices and write their own quotes. We do none of that.
Roofs around the Shreveport area deal with hot, humid summers, heavy downpours and tropical storm season. Attics get very hot, and that wears shingles from below. This page explains the warning signs, what a job includes, which materials are common and what moves a re-roof cost. Use it to decide calmly, then compare written quotes. Less searching means you can reach a local provider while the damage is still small. If you only need a small repair, the request form is the right place.
Is it time for a new roof?
Look at the urgent signs first. Water stains on a ceiling, daylight in the attic, or shingles in the yard after a storm all point to a roof that may be past saving. Move while the damage is still limited. Call (318) 522-7001 to check provider availability, or use the request form if you would rather write it down.
Signs a full replacement is likely
Check the roof from the yard, then from the attic. These signs often show up together:
- Shingles that curl, crack or shed granules into the gutters
- Bare or missing patches on more than one slope
- Dark stains or damp insulation on the attic side
- Sagging lines along the ridge or between rafters
- A roof near the end of its expected life, often 20 years or more for asphalt shingles
Hot attics bake shingles from underneath, so a roof here can age faster than its install date suggests. Heavy downpours then find every weak spot.
Soft decking and active leaks
A leak that has run for a while can rot the wood deck under the shingles. Press gently on a ceiling stain. If the drywall feels soft or the attic smells musty, tell every provider you talk to. It changes the scope and the price.

What a roof replacement includes
Most full jobs follow the same list. Ask each provider to write out every line so you can compare them side by side.
- Removing old shingles and underlayment
- Checking the deck and replacing damaged boards
- New underlayment, plus a water barrier at edges and valleys
- New flashing around chimneys, vents and walls
- New shingles or other material, plus ridge cap
- Cleanup, including a magnet sweep for nails
Tear-off or roof-over
A tear-off strips the old layers down to the deck. A roof-over puts new shingles on top of one existing layer. The roof-over costs less in labor and disposal. It also hides the deck, adds weight and holds more heat in an already hot attic. Many local codes limit it to one layer. Ask each provider which option they recommend for your roof and why.
Choosing a roofing material
Material is the biggest price lever. Think about heat, wind and how long you plan to stay.
Asphalt shingles
These are the most common choice on brick and vinyl sided ranch homes. They cost less up front and come in many styles. Look at wind ratings and algae resistance for humid summers.
Metal panels
Metal costs more at the start. It sheds heavy rain, handles wind well and reflects heat. Ask how panels are fastened and how rain noise is handled.
Tile and other options
Tile is heavy. Older pier-and-beam houses may need the framing checked before a provider quotes it. Ask for that check in writing.
What drives the re-roof cost
Four things move a quote the most: roof size and pitch, the material, how much deck needs repair, and how many layers come off. Steep slopes, many valleys and skylights add labor. Prices also shift with the season and with local demand after storms. Treat any range you read online, including the table below, as a starting point and get a written quote.
Permits, timing and weather
Most cities require a permit for a full replacement. Ask the provider whether they pull it and whether the inspection is in the quote. Tropical storm season brings sudden downpours, so ask how the open roof will be covered if rain shows up mid-job. Mild winters leave plenty of workable weather. Spring and fall schedules can fill up, so ask early.
Warranties in plain terms
A new roof usually has two warranties. The manufacturer backs the material. The provider may offer a workmanship warranty on the install. Ask for both in writing, with the length and what voids them. Shreveport Roof Replacement offers no warranty, since the providers do the work.
Questions to ask each roofing company
- Are you licensed and insured in this state, and can I see proof?
- Who pulls the permit?
- What happens if you find rotten decking?
- Which shingle line and underlayment are in the quote?
- Will your own crew do the work, or subcontractors?
- How long is the workmanship warranty, and what does it cover?
A provider who answers plainly and puts it on paper is easier to compare.
How the referral works
Shreveport Roof Replacement is a referral service, not a roofer. We do not install roofs, hire crews or set prices. Your call or request goes to an independent provider in our network. That provider talks through your roof and writes the quote. You decide who, if anyone, to hire.
Compare written quotes
Get two or three. Check that each one lists the same material, the same scope and the same terms for deck repair. A quote far below the others often leaves something out. Some policies may cover sudden damage such as a storm. Check your policy, and providers can often help document damage for a claim.
What's Included
Full tear-off
Old shingles and underlayment come off so the provider can see the real condition of the deck.
Deck check
Soft or rotted boards are replaced before anything new goes down, and the quote should say how.
New underlayment layers
A fresh water barrier goes on, with extra protection at valleys, edges and roof penetrations.
Flashing and cleanup
Flashing around chimneys and vents is renewed, and the yard is swept for nails when the job ends.
Typical re-roof cost ranges
These are typical U.S. ranges for a single-family home. Your price depends on size, pitch, material and deck condition. Compare written quotes from more than one provider before you decide.
| Item | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle roof | $8,000 – $16,000 | Most common material; varies with roof size |
| Metal roof | $15,000 – $40,000 | Higher up front; panel style changes the price |
| Tile or slate roof | $20,000 – $50,000 | Heavy; framing may need a check |
| Tear-off and disposal | $1,000 – $3,500 | Extra layers add labor and dump fees |
| Deck board repair | $300 – $2,500 | Depends on how much wood is rotted |
| Permit and inspection | $100 – $500 | Set by the city; ask if it is in the quote |
