St. Martinville is one of the oldest towns in Acadiana, and you can see it in the housing stock. Around the historic district and along the Bayou Teche, you have Creole cottages and raised French Colonial homes with steep hipped roofs and deep galleries, many of them still wearing their original tin or standing seam metal. A few blocks over, mid-century brick ranches sit on flat lots with low-slope shingle roofs that take a beating every hurricane season.

Homeowners in 70582 call Lafayette Metal Roofing because we know what these roofs go through: steamy humidity, salt-tinged air off the Gulf, torrential afternoon downpours, and oak limbs dropping on a roof after a squall. We are based in Lafayette and work St. Martinville and the surrounding area regularly, from the streets near St. Martin de Tours Church to the newer subdivisions off Highway 31.

Metal Roofing in St. Martinville (70582)

The ground here is flat Vermilion River prairie with heavy clay soil, and that matters more than people expect. On the older streets near the bayou, lots are narrow and the water table is high, so we plan staging and tear-off carefully to keep equipment off soggy lawns and out of the way of the live oaks and crape myrtles that hang over so many roofs. The historic Creole and Acadian cottages often have steep pitches and gallery roofs that need standing seam panels cut to fit around dormers and gallerie tie-ins. Flashing work around chimneys and skylights is common on these older homes because the original tin has been patched a dozen times and the penetrations are where leaks start. Out toward the sugarcane fields and the newer brick homes, we see more retrofit work, metal over existing shingles where the code allows it, and corrugated or ribbed panels on shops, carports, and barns.

Our team has worked roofs across Lafayette and St. Martin parishes, and we understand the failure modes here: fasteners that back out after years of heat cycling, seams that separate in a tropical storm, and wind-lifted panels after a squall line. We install standing seam, 5V-crimp, metal shingle, and stone-coated steel, and we repair the older tin roofs that give this town its character.

How a Job Works in St. Martinville

Step 1: You call us at (337) 294-0108 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, and we look at the whole roof, not just the obvious leak. On older homes near the historic district, that means checking the flashing at chimneys and skylights, the condition of the fasteners, and whether the decking is sound under the old metal. We give you a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.

Step 2: We handle the work itself, and in St. Martinville that often means coordinating with the local building department for permits, especially on a full replacement. If your home is in a historic district or under HOA review, we help you understand what panel profiles and colors are allowed before we order materials. Tight lot access near the bayou or downtown means we plan deliveries and dumpster placement so we do not block the street or a neighbor's driveway.

Step 3: When the job is done, we clean up. We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away old material, and walk the roof and yard with you. We do not leave until you have seen the finished work and we have answered your questions.

Pricing in St. Martinville depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the condition of the decking, access, and how soon you need it done. For a typical home, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam starts around $10, metal roof replacement starts around $9, and a metal roof over existing shingles (retrofit) starts around $7 where the code allows it. Smaller jobs like metal roof repair or leak repair start around $450, flashing and chimney repair around $600, and screw replacement and re-fastening around $750. Coating and painting starts around $2.50 per square foot, and gutters for metal roofs start around $9 per linear foot. We give free estimates, so call (337) 294-0108 and we will give you a real number for your roof, not a range over the phone.

My Creole cottage near the historic district has an old tin roof with leaks around the chimney. Can you repair it without replacing the whole roof?

Yes, in many cases. Older tin roofs in St. Martinville often fail at the flashing and fasteners before the panels themselves are gone. We inspect the chimney flashing, the seams, and the fasteners, and we can often repair those areas and re-fasten loose panels. If the tin is too far gone, we will tell you honestly and walk you through replacement options that keep the look of the original roof.

A storm just took off some panels on my roof off Highway 31. How fast can you get out to St. Martinville?

We prioritize storm and wind damage calls. Call us at (337) 294-0108 and we will schedule a free inspection as soon as possible, usually within a day or two depending on how widespread the storm damage is. We can tarp or secure the roof to prevent further water damage while you wait for repairs or an insurance decision.

What does a standing seam metal roof cost for a typical three-bedroom home in St. Martinville?

For a typical three-bedroom home, standing seam starts around $10 per square foot, so a 2,000-square-foot roof area would start around $20,000. The final price depends on the roof pitch, how many penetrations need flashing, whether we are removing an old roof, and the panel profile and color you choose. We give free on-site estimates so you get an accurate number.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in St. Martinville, and who handles it?

Roofing permits are commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof in St. Martinville, and the rules and fees are set by the local building department. We handle the permit application for you as part of the job, and we schedule the required inspections. Requirements can change, so we always confirm with the city before we start.

My neighbor's oak tree drops limbs on my roof, and my HOA has rules about roof color. Can you help with both?

We can. For the tree limbs, we inspect for punctures and damaged panels and repair or replace them. For HOA approval, we provide panel samples and color chips, and we can coordinate with your HOA on the design review so the new roof meets the rules. Property line issues with a neighbor are between you and them, but we keep our work and staging on your side of the line.

Are you insured for roof work at my St. Martinville property?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance before we start, and we recommend asking any contractor for one before they get on your roof.

What should I do to maintain a metal roof in St. Martinville between hurricanes?

Check the fasteners and seams once a year, especially after storm season. Clear oak and pecan debris from the roof and gutters so water does not back up. Look for lifted panels or loose screws after a squall. We offer inspections and maintenance, and we can re-fasten or replace screws before they become leaks. Call us at (337) 294-0108 to schedule.
