Roof Replacement in Shreveport, LA

Indemnity Roofing & Construction replaces residential and commercial roofs throughout Shreveport from our office at 9140 Newcastle Drive. We're Louisiana licensed (License #76747), A+ BBB Accredited, and our crews live and work here. When you call us, you talk to the people who will actually be on your roof.

Whether your roof is simply worn out or it took a beating in the last hailstorm, this page covers what you need to know about replacing a roof in Shreveport: the signs it's time, the materials that hold up best in our climate, what affects the price, how insurance fits in, and exactly what happens on installation day.

Signs your Shreveport roof needs to be replaced

• Age. Standard asphalt shingle roofs in North Louisiana's heat and humidity often need replacing sooner than the number on the package. If your roof is 15–20 years old, it's worth a professional look.
• Widespread granule loss. Bald spots on shingles or heavy granules in your gutters mean the shingles are losing their protection from the sun.
• Curling, cracking, or missing shingles across several areas of the roof, not just one spot.
• Repeated leaks or water stains on ceilings, especially after you've already had repairs.
• Sagging areas or soft spots, which can mean the decking underneath is damaged.
• Hail or wind damage spread across most slopes. Storm damage is often the reason a roof needs replacing years early — and it's often covered by insurance. Learn more on our storm and hail damage page.

Not sure whether you need a new roof or a repair? That's what the free inspection is for. If a repair will do the job, we'll tell you.

Roofing materials that work in Shreveport's climate

Hot summers, high humidity, and spring hail all affect which roof makes sense for your home. We install:

• Architectural asphalt shingles. The most popular choice in Shreveport. They're thicker than basic 3-tab shingles, handle wind better, and come in a wide range of colors to fit everything from ranch homes in Southern Hills to older homes in South Highlands.
• Impact-resistant shingles. Built to stand up better to hail. Some insurance companies offer a discount on premiums for them — ask your agent whether yours does.
• Metal roofing. Long-lasting, reflects summer heat, and sheds heavy rain. A strong choice for homes, barndominiums, shops, and commercial buildings.
• Flat and low-slope systems such as TPO and modified bitumen for commercial buildings and porches. See our commercial roofing page.

Before you decide, we can show you a 3D model of your new roof on your actual house, so you can compare colors and materials and see the finished result first.

What affects roof replacement cost in Shreveport

Every roof is different, so we give real quotes after a real inspection instead of guessing over the phone. The biggest factors are:

• Roof size and pitch. Larger and steeper roofs take more material and labor.
• Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights, and chimneys add work.
• Material choice. Architectural shingles, impact-resistant shingles, and metal each have different prices and lifespans.
• Decking condition. Rotted or damaged plywood under the old roof has to be replaced.
• Ventilation and code items like drip edge, underlayment, and proper attic ventilation — details that protect your roof and shouldn't be skipped.

Insurance-covered roof replacement

If hail or wind damaged your roof, your homeowners insurance may pay for most of the replacement. Your policy pays for covered damage minus your deductible. Anything the policy doesn't cover, like upgrades you choose, is separate, and we'll go over it with you before work starts. We help by:

• Providing a free inspection and a photo-documented Storm Inspection & Insurance Report
• Meeting your adjuster at your home to walk the roof together
• Reviewing the insurance estimate and documenting anything that was missed
• Sending the final invoice so held-back depreciation can be released

Louisiana homeowners have the right to choose their own licensed contractor, and no contractor can legally pay or waive your deductible. For the full process, see our Louisiana Roof Insurance Claim Guide.

What happens on replacement day

1. Setup and protection. We protect your landscaping, driveway, and siding and position a dumpster or trailer for debris.
2. Tear-off. The old shingles and underlayment come off down to the decking.
3. Decking inspection. We check the plywood and replace any damaged or rotted sections.
4. New underlayment, flashing, and drip edge go on to seal the roof.
5. New roof installed — shingles or metal — along with ridge vents and pipe boots.
6. Cleanup. We clean up debris and run a magnet over the yard and driveway to pick up nails.
7. Final walk-through. We walk the finished job with you and answer your questions.

Most homes are torn off and re-roofed in a single day, weather permitting.
