Asphalt Shingle Roofing in New Orleans, LA
Architectural shingle installation and repair, the most common roofing material in the Gulf Coast, done right.
The Most Common Roof in New Orleans, Installed to Actually Last
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most widely used residential roofing material in the New Orleans metro, and for good reason. They balance cost, appearance, and performance well when installed correctly. The installation details matter more here than the shingle brand: nailing pattern, underlayment, and flashing determine whether a shingle roof survives its first real hurricane season.
Augustino Brothers installs architectural (dimensional) shingles rated for high-wind regions, with the option to build to FORTIFIED standards for homeowners pursuing the Louisiana grant program.
The installation details that actually determine whether a shingle roof survives its first real hurricane season are mostly invisible once the job is done: correct nailing pattern and nail placement, not staples, and not just “close enough”, a proper starter strip along eaves and rakes, sealed ridge venting, and underlayment rated to keep wind-driven rain out even if some shingles are compromised in a storm. We don’t cut corners on any of these because they’re the difference between a roof that performs in a hurricane and one that doesn’t.
We install architectural (dimensional) shingles rated for high-wind regions as our standard for this market, not the cheaper 3-tab shingles that perform worse in wind, backed by manufacturer material warranties plus our own workmanship warranty. Most major manufacturers offer a wide range of colors and blends, and we review real samples with you during your estimate rather than asking you to choose from a brochure photo.
Asphalt shingle remains the most cost-effective roofing material for most New Orleans homes, and it’s the right call for the large majority of the residential roofs we replace, metal and slate & tile have their place for specific homes and priorities, but architectural shingle installed correctly holds up well to Gulf Coast wind and rain at a price point most homeowners can actually work with.
