A tear-off versus an overlay is not just cost. A second layer hides the decking, so soft sheathing stays buried, and it holds heat that shortens the new shingles' life.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Storm claims turn on documentation. Photographed hail bruising and lifted shingles, recorded before any tarping, is the difference between a paid claim and a denial.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems
- Storm damage documentation for claims
Homes in Shreveport and roofing work
Public figures for the city of Shreveport in Caddo Parish, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
The median home in the city of Shreveport was built in 1973, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Louisiana median of 1983.1 On a roof of that vintage a contractor should check the decking before quoting - a tear-off rather than an overlay is the usual recommendation so soft sheathing is found, not buried. Somewhat more of Shreveport's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 65% against 50%, with 6% built since 2010.1 Rainfall is substantial: about 51 inches a year, 17 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Where heavy-rain days are common, the quote should name the underlayment and the valley and flashing details, which is where most leaks start.
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.9 inches a year).2,3 Summers are hot: about 98 days a year reach 90°F and 11 reach 100°F.2,3 Long hot seasons shorten the life of dark asphalt shingles; a quote should state the shingle's rated wind and heat performance and whether a lighter color or a metal system is sensible. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Shreveport are of similar age: median build years 1973 and 1975.1
Building permits in Shreveport are normally issued by the city building department.4,5 Re-roofing permits, where required, are filed by the contractor with the city before work starts.
