Roof Repairs in Louisiana
5 Signs Your Roof Needs Repair
1) Leaks or Water Stains: Dark spots on ceilings or walls indicate water intrusion.
2) Missing or Curling Shingles: Common after windstorms or prolonged UV exposure.
3) Sagging Roof Deck: Suggests water damage beneath the surface.
4) Moss or Algae Growth: Appears as dark streaks and can break down roofing materials.

At V & V Roofing, we always inspect the whole system, not just the obvious damage. Often, what looks like a small leak can be a sign of deeper structural problems.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Hurricane season often leads to emergency calls. If your roof is leaking, partially torn off, or punctured, it's critical to tarp or patch it immediately. This prevents further water damage until permanent repairs can be made.

When Is It Time to Replace Your Roof?
- Your roof is 20+ years old and showing signs of age

- Extensive leaks or water damage have compromised the structure
- You’re seeing mold growth in your attic
- Roof repairs are becoming frequent and expensive
Full vs. Partial Roof Replacement
A partial replacement may seem cheaper at first but often leads to mismatched materials, future leaks, and warranty issues. A full roof replacement provides a clean slate, full-system warranty, and modern materials that better withstand Louisiana’s climate.
