Shingle and metal roofs installed by local crews in Shreveport-Bossier City, Tyler, Midland, and Baton Rouge — with a free inspection, a 3D preview of your new roof, and insurance claim help when storms are involved.
A new roof is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home. It should be done once and done right. Indemnity Roofing & Construction replaces residential and commercial roofs across Louisiana and Texas, with local offices in Shreveport, Tyler, Midland, and Baton Rouge. We're Louisiana licensed (#76747) and A+ BBB Accredited.
This page explains how to tell when it's time for a new roof, how shingle and metal roofs compare, what a roof replacement typically costs, what happens on installation day, and how warranties and insurance work.
If the damage is limited, a roof repair may be all you need. Our free inspection will tell you honestly which one makes sense.

Architectural shingles are the most popular choice for homes in our markets. They're thicker than old 3-tab shingles, handle wind better, and come in many colors. Impact-resistant shingles are built to stand up better to hail, and some insurers offer premium discounts for them — ask your agent. Metal roofs cost more up front but last the longest and reflect summer heat.
Before you decide, we can show you a 3D model of your actual home with each option, so you can see colors and materials before anything is ordered.
