About Shreveport Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in LA
Shreveport Roof Pros works Shreveport, Bossier City, Blanchard, Haughton, Stonewall, Benton, Minden and the smaller towns strung along US 71 and LA 1 through the north end of Caddo Parish. Most of what we touch is asphalt: laminated shingles on the postwar ranch stock through Broadmoor and Queensborough, steeper cut-up rooflines on the older houses inside the Highland and South Highlands historic districts, and low-slope tie-ins over porches and carports that were added later.
Our argument with the rest of the trade in this region is about where the money goes. Caddo Parish sits outside every coastal boundary Louisiana draws, so a package assembled for a hurricane wind field has no local rule behind it here. We would rather put that budget into impact-rated covering, solid decking and edge hardware that survives an ice load, and we will show you on the plan where each dollar stops earning.
Some jobs we send away. A roof under ten years old showing one stained corner needs a leak traced and a boot changed, not a salesman on the doorstep. Where somebody has talked you into filing on granule loss we can see is ordinary wear, we put that in writing first. And when the budget covers half a roof, we stage it across two seasons rather than sell you a thin whole one.
If you have a roofing project in Shreveport, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

Credentials
- License: Louisiana does license this trade, and as of January 1, 2026 it licenses it by name. The legislature wrote R.S. 37:2156.4 into the contractor law last year, creating Residential Roofing as a subclassification of residential construction and pulling every residential roof valued at $7,500 or above under it. We hold that classification with the State Licensing Board for Contractors, and our commercial work runs under classification 53, Roofing and Sheet Metal, Siding. One detail worth knowing before you sign with anybody: a Home Improvement registration, the tier that covers jobs from $7,500 up to $50,000, is barred by statute from touching a roofing system of any type. Ask which card the company actually holds.
- Insurance: Louisiana ties coverage to the license rather than leaving it optional. A residential contractor here has to hold workers' compensation and general liability and file the certificates with the board at application and again at every renewal, and a lapse is grounds for a cease-and-desist order. Ours are current and our agent sends them to you out of the carrier's system. What Louisiana does not require of anyone in this trade is a surety bond, so you will not find that word used about us anywhere here, whatever the yard signs down the street may claim.
- Association: We build to the printed documents rather than to a logo. Since August 1, 2025 the reroof on a house in this state has to be permitted and inspected against Chapters 8 and 9 of the International Residential Code, the 2021 edition the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code Council adopted in January 2023, and shingles go down to whatever the manufacturer prints inside the bundle wrapper, since that sheet is the only thing a material warranty is ever measured against.
- Warranty: a workmanship warranty typed on our own paper, separate from any material coverage, naming the eave and edge attachment and the fascia we replaced, and handed over with a booked return visit after the first hard rain of the following spring
How Shreveport Roof Pros works
How a job with Shreveport Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a workmanship warranty typed on our own paper, separate from any material coverage, naming the eave and edge attachment and the fascia we replaced, and handed over with a booked return visit after the first hard rain of the following spring backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Shreveport.
Where Shreveport Roof Pros works and who we work with
Shreveport, LA first, then the surrounding communities of the Ark-La-Tex: Bossier City, Minden, Red Chute, Springhill, Mansfield, Haughton, Blanchard, Greenwood and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Ark-La-Tex. Start with the Shreveport services, the Shreveport Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Shreveport Chooses Shreveport Roof Pros
- ✓We quote impact class before wind class, because this parish sits nowhere near the 140 mph ultimate design wind speed the code uses to draw a wind-borne debris region.
- ✓No eave membrane runs the whole deck on a Shreveport house. Nothing here builds a snowpack to dam behind, and the plan shows you where that membrane stops paying for itself.
- ✓Winter inspections are done at the thaw rather than during the event, because a glazed roof hides every defect it just caused and walking one is how people get hurt.
- ✓Fascia is measured and priced alongside the gutter, since a trough packed with ice pulls through soft pine long before it pulls a hanger out of anything.
- ✓The proposal names which Louisiana roofing rules apply at your project value, including the ones that mean the job is small enough not to need us.
- ✓Gutter guards are refused outright on any run sitting under pine here, and we say so before you have paid for them rather than after the first November.
What Shreveport Customers Say
Two companies quoted me a coastal wind package with a straight face. These guys pulled up the code definition, showed me our parish is nowhere near the threshold that triggers any of it, and put the difference into a Class 4 shingle and new decking instead. Cheaper roof, better roof, and they wrote down why.
The ceiling stain showed up in April and I assumed the spring storms did it. They traced it back to the freeze in January, showed me the split boot in a photo, and charged me for a repair rather than talking me into a claim. Came back in the spring like they said they would.
What I did not expect was the fascia conversation. They pulled the gutter, showed me the pine behind it was soft the whole run, and priced it by the foot before starting. Every other bid had the gutter as one number and would have found that on the day and charged me whatever.
Asked about the state grant for a fortified roof and got a straight no, we are not in the eligible area, instead of a maybe. Then they explained the new roofing license classification and told me to check them on the board site myself. I did. They were on it.
