| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Roof Installation | From $8/sq ft | Complete metal roof installation for homes across Lafayette and Acadiana: panel systems engineered for Gulf Coast hurricane wind, humidity and heat, installed over high-temperature synthetic underlayment with proper ventilation, corrosion-resistant fasteners and manufacturer-specified details for a 40-60 year service life. |
| Standing Seam Metal Roofing | From $10/sq ft | Concealed-fastener standing seam systems, the premium choice for Lafayette homes. Panels roll-formed to length and mechanically seamed or snap-locked, with no exposed screws to loosen as Louisiana heat flexes the roof every day. Strong wind uplift resistance for hurricane season and a cool reflective finish for long summers. |
| Metal Roof Replacement | From $9/sq ft | Full tear-off and replacement of hurricane-battered, sun-baked or end-of-life shingle and metal roofs: old roofing hauled away, decking inspected and repaired, then a complete new metal system installed. Many Louisiana insurers offer discounts for wind-rated roofs, so ask yours. |
| Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) | From $7/sq ft | A new metal roof installed directly over your existing asphalt shingles: no tear-off, less waste, lower cost. Popular on Lafayette ranches and cottages. We check deck condition first and tell you honestly when tear-off is the better call. |
| Metal Roof Repair | From $450 | Repair of damaged, loose or storm-hit metal roofing: replacing wind-bent or punctured panels, resealing seams and penetrations, and fixing failed flashing before a Louisiana downpour becomes interior damage. |
| Metal Roof Leak Repair | From $450 | Priority leak response for metal roofs: leaks traced to their true source (failed fasteners, seam separation, flashing gaps, pipe boots and gallery and wall transitions) and fixed right, not just caulked over. Emergency tarping available after hurricanes and severe storms. |
| Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening | From $750 | Lafayette's heat and humidity flex and corrode metal roofs, so screws back out and sun-baked washers crack on older exposed-fastener and tin roofs. Oversized corrosion-resistant screws and UV-resistant washers fix it for a fraction of replacement cost. |
| Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing | From $5.50/sq ft | Exposed-fastener metal roofing (corrugated, R-panel, 5V crimp and 5V), the budget-friendly workhorse and an Acadiana classic for homes, galleries, carports, barns and workshops across Lafayette, Vermilion and Iberia parishes. Quality coated panels in reflective cool-roof colors, installed with proper screw patterns and closures that keep out wind-driven rain. |
| Metal Shingle Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Metal shingles that deliver the look of architectural shingles, slate or shake with the lifespan of steel, a favorite for Lafayette homeowners who want metal performance without the standing seam look. Lightweight, walkable and wind-rated for hurricane season. |
| Stone-Coated Steel Roofing | From $9/sq ft | Stone-coated steel systems combining steel strength with a textured traditional finish: excellent hail and wind performance, Class A fire rating, and profiles that mimic the shake and tile looks found on Acadiana Creole and Spanish-influenced homes. |
| Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing | From $20/sq ft | Copper, zinc and aluminum roofing for accents, galleries, bay windows and full architectural roofs: premium metals that develop a living patina and stand up to Gulf humidity for decades. Custom fabrication for the fine details of historic Acadiana homes. |
| Metal Roof Coating & Painting | From $2.50/sq ft | Restoration of sun-faded, chalking or surface-rusted metal roofs: surface prep, rust treatment and high-performance reflective coating systems that extend roof life 10-15 years, restore color and cut summer heat gain without replacement. |
| Flashing, Chimney & Skylight Repair | From $600 | Repair and custom fabrication of flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers and gallery roof transitions, the number one leak point on older Lafayette roofs. In-house bent flashing for a precise watertight fit. |
| Snow Guards & Ice Protection | From $1,200 | Snow is essentially unknown in Lafayette, so what Acadiana metal roofs need instead is uplift protection: extra ridge and eave fastening, reinforced ridge caps, heavy edge metal and hurricane-rated clips for tropical-storm winds, plus reflective heat-control options for the long summer. Honest guidance on what yours needs. |
| Storm & Wind Damage Repair | Free inspection | Repair of hurricane, tropical-storm, tornado and hail damage to metal roofing: thorough documentation with photos, an honest assessment of repair versus replacement, and help documenting your insurance claim from inspection to completed work. |
| Metal Roof Inspection | Free estimate | Complete metal roof inspections for homeowners, buyers and insurance requirements: fastener condition, seam integrity, flashing, coating, corrosion and UV wear, and a straight answer on remaining service life with a written report. |
| Gutters for Metal Roofs | From $9/linear ft | Seamless gutter systems sized and mounted correctly for metal roofing: hangers that work with panel profiles and downspouts that carry sudden tropical downpours away from foundations on heavy clay soil, with details that handle live oak leaves, pecan debris and Spanish moss. |
| Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing | Free estimate | Metal roofing for barns, workshops, churches, carports, sugar and rice-farm buildings and light commercial buildings across Lafayette, Vermilion, Iberia and St. Landry parishes, with durable coated panel systems, insulation options and repairs. |
