About Sunbelt Roofs
A New Orleans Roofing Company Built for Gulf Coast Weather
New Orleans is hard on a roof. Summer heat bakes the shingles, afternoon storms find every loose flashing seam, and hurricane season tests the whole system at once. We've spent more than 20 years on roofs like these, from raised shotgun houses in Uptown to slab ranch homes out in Gentilly, and our crew brings over 80 years of combined experience.
As roofing contractors New Orleans, we don't patch the stain on your ceiling and leave. We find where the water is actually getting in, fix that, and put a 25-year labor warranty on the work in writing.
Certified
GAF Master Elite and FORTIFIED Roof certified. Our crews install to manufacturer and IBHS standards, so your warranty holds up when you need it.
Built to Last
Most leaks we see in New Orleans start at flashing, valleys or vents, not in the middle of the roof. We fix the weak point, not just the spot where the water shows up.

Residential & Commercial Roofing Services in New Orleans
Roofs Built for New Orleans Heat, Humidity and Hurricanes
Most of our work in New Orleans is on homes: shingle, metal and tile roofs on everything from Mid-City doubles to Lakeview two-stories. We also handle commercial roofs for offices, shops and apartment buildings across the metro.
Metal Roofing New Orleans
Metal roofing is one of the smartest investments a New Orleans homeowner can make. Engineered to withstand winds exceeding 140 mph, metal roofs outperform traditional asphalt in Louisiana’s storm-prone climate. Sunbelt Roofs installs, repairs, and replaces metal roofs across New Orleans — from Uptown shotgun houses to Gentilly ranch homes.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for New Orleans homeowners — and for good reason. They offer excellent value, a wide range of styles, and reliable performance when installed correctly. Sunbelt Roofs uses premium-grade shingles from top manufacturers and every residential roofing job in New Orleans with a 25-year labor warranty.
FORTIFIED Roofs & Insurance Savings
Louisiana homeowners can qualify for significant insurance premium reductions through the Fortified Roof program — a designation earned through specific construction standards designed to resist hurricane and severe storm damage. Sunbelt Roofs is a Fortified-certified contractor, meaning we can build your roof to this standard and help you secure the discount.
Commercial Roofing New Orleans
Downtime is expensive. That’s why New Orleans businesses choose Sunbelt Roofs for commercial roofing — we work efficiently, on schedule, and with minimal disruption to your operations. We serve offices, retail centers, multi-family buildings, industrial facilities, and warehouses across the Greater New Orleans area.
Looking for something more traditional? We also install and repair Brava tile and cedar shake roofs for older New Orleans homes.
Roof Repair New Orleans LA
Sunbelt Roofs handles roof repair in New Orleans for leaks, missing or wind-lifted shingles, failed flashing and storm damage. We inspect the whole roof, find where water is actually getting in, and repair it with materials that match your existing roof. You get photos and a written estimate before any work starts.
A water stain on the ceiling rarely sits right under the leak. Water runs along the decking and rafters first, sometimes several feet, before it drips. That’s why quick patch jobs keep failing on New Orleans homes, and why every New Orleans roof repair we do starts in the attic as well as on the roof.
Roof Repairs We Handle Most Often
- Leaks around chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights and valleys
- Missing, cracked or wind-lifted asphalt shingles after a storm
- Rusted or loose flashing and drip edge
- Soft or rotted decking under old shingles
- Loose fasteners and open seams on metal roofs
- Slate and tile repairs on older Uptown and Garden District homes (or a Brava tile upgrade when the old tile is beyond repair)
Emergency & Storm Damage Roof Repair
After a storm, the first job is stopping the water. We tarp open areas and active leaks to protect your attic insulation and ceilings while the claim gets sorted out.
Then we document everything: lifted and creased shingles, dented metal, damaged flashing, all photographed and measured. If your adjuster misses something, we can meet them on the roof and walk it together.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?
Repair usually makes sense when the damage is limited to one area and the roof still has good years left. Replacement starts to make more sense when:
- Leaks keep showing up every season, in different spots
- Shingles are curling or shedding granules across most of the roof
- The decking feels soft in several places
- The roof is close to the end of its expected life
We’ll tell you straight which one you need. A roofer who quotes a replacement every single time isn’t looking out for you.
Roof Replacement New Orleans
When a roof is past saving, a full replacement is the cheaper long-term fix. Our roof replacement work in New Orleans covers the whole system, not new shingles over old problems:
- Full tear-off down to the decking
- Deck inspection, and new boards wherever the wood is soft or rotted
- New underlayment, leak barrier in the valleys, new flashing and drip edge
- A ventilation check, because a hot, unvented attic shortens shingle life fast here
- Your choice of architectural shingles, metal or tile
- Full cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep, then a final walkthrough with you
Before any work starts, you get a written quote, a start date and a clear timeline, so you know exactly when the crew shows up and when the job wraps. If rain moves into the forecast mid-job, we keep the roof dried-in and covered until we can finish.

Roofing Contractors New Orleans: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What should I do if I need roof repair in New Orleans after a storm?
Call us for an inspection as soon as it’s safe. If water is coming in, we tarp the roof first to protect your attic and ceilings, then document the damage with photos for your insurance claim.
Q2. How much does roof repair cost in New Orleans?
It depends on what’s damaged. Replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing costs far less than fixing rotted decking or storm damage across several slopes. You get a free written estimate with photos before any work starts.
Q3. How much does a roof replacement cost in New Orleans?
Roof size, pitch, material and the number of old layers all change the price. Architectural shingles cost less than metal or tile. Book a free inspection and we’ll give you a written quote for your roof.
Q4. How do I choose a roofing company in New Orleans?
Ask for a Louisiana contractor license, proof of insurance, manufacturer certifications like GAF Master Elite, and a written workmanship warranty. Be careful with crews that only appear after storms and push for a quick signature.
Q5. Are you a licensed roofing contractor in Louisiana?
Yes. Sunbelt Roofs is licensed in Louisiana, fully insured, and GAF Master Elite and FORTIFIED Roof certified.
Q6. What roofing material works best in New Orleans?
Metal and architectural shingles are the most popular, because both handle heat, humidity and high winds well. Building to the FORTIFIED standard adds the most storm protection and can lower your insurance premium.
