Tile and Metal Roofing for Storm Season

Tile and metal roofing tend to outlast standard shingles in this climate, which is part of why we see more of both across Baton Rouge than in drier markets. Metal sheds wind-driven rain better and holds up to hail without the granule loss that shingles suffer, while tile handles heat and humidity without the same risk of rot at the deck. Shingle roofs still make sense for plenty of properties here; they're just not the only option worth considering before a replacement.

What that means for the work we do most:

• Tile roof repair and replacement – Cracked or slipped tiles let water underneath even when the surface looks fine. We check the underlayment, not just what's visible, before calling it a simple fix.
• Metal roofing installation and repair – Seams and fasteners are usually where metal roofs fail first. We reseal, refasten, or replace sections without tearing into the whole system unless the damage calls for it.
• Shingle repair after wind and hail – Granule loss and lifted edges are common after a Gulf storm rolls through. We assess it and tell you honestly whether it's a patch or something bigger.
• Pre-hurricane season inspections – Catching a weak spot in June is a lot cheaper than dealing with storm damage in September. We check the flashing, decking, and attachment points before the season ramps up, and we'll tell you straight what needs attention now and what can wait.

For a full replacement, we'll walk you through how tile, metal, and shingle systems each perform here, and what fits your property, your budget, and how long you plan to own it.
