Shreveport Roof Pros provides professional gutters and downspouts in Shreveport, LA for residential and commercial properties across the Ark-La-Tex. A gutter in most of the country is a drainage component. On this parish it is also a structural one for about forty-eight hours a year, and that is the load nobody bothers to size for when they quote you a price per foot.
Water weighs eight pounds a gallon. Ice fills the trough solid, bridges across to the roof edge, and stays there through a freeze that usually breaks inside a day or two. A run that has carried rain without complaint for a decade can spread its hangers and pull its spikes in a single December night, and the giveaway afterwards is not a leak but a gutter that has dropped half an inch out of level.
So the specification starts behind the trough rather than inside it. On a house from the 1960s or 1970s the fascia is usually nominal pine, often soft already from an overflow nobody noticed, and no hanger holds in punky wood however tightly it is spaced. We pull a section, probe the board with an awl, and price fascia by the foot in the same quote. Hangers then go into sound backing instead of whatever happens to be there.
Trough and outlet sizing come from the rainfall rather than from what the builder originally fitted. Fifty-one inches a year, much of it arriving in spring cells that drop an inch in twenty minutes, means six-inch trough in .032 aluminum across most roof areas and noticeably more outlets than a tract builder would have allowed. Undersized outlets are why a gutter overflows behind itself and rots the very board holding it up.
On guards we are blunt with people. This parish is over half forest land and the dominant type is loblolly and shortleaf pine. Needles get through, under or into every guard system we have ever inspected, then mat down and hold water against the trough. On any run sitting beneath pine we refuse to fit them, and we say so before you have paid rather than after your first November.
Downspouts get run to daylight and away from the slab, with a leader long enough to matter. A perfect gutter discharging at the foundation has solved precisely nothing. On the slab-on-grade housing that covers most of this parish, that is not a cosmetic detail but a foundation one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class 4 impact-rated laminate shingles tested to UL 2218, self-adhered eave membrane held to the first course line, 26-gauge painted steel drip edge lapped over the underlayment, half-inch CDX sheathing scabbed over one-by plank decking, tapered polyiso built to a quarter-inch-per-foot drain slope, gutter trough in .032 aluminum sized for a static ice load — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Shreveport and nearby communities including Bossier City, Minden, Red Chute, Springhill.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters and downspouts
The difference between gutters and downspouts that lasts and gutters and downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Class 4 impact-rated laminate shingles tested to UL 2218, self-adhered eave membrane held to the first course line, 26-gauge painted steel drip edge lapped over the underlayment, half-inch CDX sheathing scabbed over one-by plank decking, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Shreveport job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Ark-La-Tex means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

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.
