Signs that indicate the need for a new roof include its age, curling or buckling shingles, missing or damaged shingles, leaks, and visible damage or wear (granule loss or visible fiberglass mat). Call Mid City Roofing today if you have further questions about your asphalt or metal roofing.

When choosing a metal roofing contractor in Louisiana, look for a licensed and insured professional with a good reputation and experience.

In most cases, homeowners' insurance will cover any roof damage caused by unexpected events such as severe weather (hail or wind), fire, or falling debris. However, whether you have asphalt or metal roofing, it's important to check your policy to understand the specifics of your coverage.

According to Roofers Guild, the U.S. experiences an average of 3,700 annual hailstorms. If your roof is damaged by a hailstorm in Louisiana, contact a professional roofer to assess the damage and file an insurance claim if necessary. Most policies will cover hail damage for metal roofing and other types of material, too.

It depends on the extent of the damage. In most cases, a leak can be repaired without needing to replace the entire roof. Our professional team can assess the damage and recommend the best course of action for your asphalt or metal roofing.

Our team recommends having your roof inspected at least once a year and after any severe weather event such as a hurricane or strong windstorm. This applies to both asphalt and metal roofing.

The lifespan of a roof can vary depending on the material used. According to our team, asphalt shingles typically last 15-25 years, while tile and metal roofing can last 50 years or more.

Proper ventilation is essential so that air movement is not restricted beneath the roof surface. Insufficient ventilation can lead to asphalt shingles blistering, fishmouthing, curling, or aging prematurely. Excessive moisture can even cause rot under both asphalt and metal roofing.

The duration of a roof replacement can vary depending on the size of the roof and the complexity of the project. However, most metal roofing projects in Louisiana can be completed within a week.

It is possible to install new asphalt or metal roofing over an existing roof, but it is generally not recommended as it can lead to additional weight and potential structural issues. It is best to have the old roof removed and a new one installed.
