Top Rated Residential Roofing Services in New Orleans Louisiana
Builders of the South roofs homes across New Orleans — Uptown, the Garden District, Lakeview, Gentilly, Mid-City, and Algiers. New Orleans roofing is its own craft: century-old shotguns and Creole cottages sit next to raised Lakeview homes, and each one needs a roofer who understands how it was built.
ABOUT US
We work with asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and slate systems, and we respect historic details — steep pitches, decorative ridges, and original rooflines — while bringing the weather protection up to modern standards.
From emergency leak repairs after a storm to full replacements on historic properties, we deliver roofs that protect New Orleans homes without erasing their character.

PROS & CONS
Pros
Right materials for older homes
Slate and tile expertise that many roofers don’t offer.
Stronger storm defense
Modern systems under a classic New Orleans roofline.
Preserved curb appeal
Replacements that keep the character buyers pay for.
Cons
Specialty materials cost more
Slate and tile carry higher material and labor costs than shingle.
Historic details take time
Careful work on older structures can’t be rushed.
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SERVICE
New Orleans roofs face a unique combination: intense sun, high humidity, heavy rainfall, and hurricanes — on housing stock that is often 80–150 years old. Deferred maintenance on an old roof doesn’t stay a roof problem; it becomes rot in original framing that is expensive or impossible to replace like-for-like.
Regular inspection and timely, material-appropriate repairs are how New Orleans homeowners protect both the structure and the historic value of their homes.
