FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners and property managers across Southeast Louisiana. If you don’t see your question here, contact us anytime — we’re happy to help.
1. How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
Common signs include missing shingles, leaks, ceiling stains, granule loss, sagging areas, or visible storm damage. In our region, strong winds and heavy rain make early detection important. We offer free inspections so you know exactly what’s going on with your roof.
2. How long does a roofing project usually take?
Most residential roof replacements in Southeast Louisiana take one day to complete. Larger homes or specialty roofing systems may take longer, but you’ll always receive a clear timeline before work begins.
3. What roofing materials do you offer?
We install architectural shingles, metal roofing, and flat/low-slope systems. Our team will help you choose the best material based on your budget, style, and the weather conditions your home faces.
4. Will you help me understand what caused the roof damage?
Yes — during our inspection, we document all visible issues and explain exactly what we find, including wind, rain, or age-related wear. We provide photos and videos so you can clearly see the condition of your roof.
5. How much does a new roof cost?
Costs vary depending on the roof size, pitch, material, and existing conditions. We provide detailed written estimates after inspection, and we offer financing options to make the project more affordable.
6. What warranties do you offer?
We provide manufacturer warranties on roofing materials and workmanship warranties on installation. Warranty length depends on the product you choose, and we’ll review all options with you before the project starts.
7. How long will my new roof last in Louisiana’s climate?
A properly installed, high-quality shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years, though heat, humidity, and hurricanes can shorten that lifespan. Metal roofs often last 40+ years. Routine maintenance and inspections help extend the life of your roof.
8. Do you work with commercial properties as well?
Yes! We service residential and commercial roofs across Southeast Louisiana, including TPO, modified bitumen, metal, and shingle systems. Property managers rely on us for dependable service and fast communication.
9. What should I expect on installation day?
Our team arrives early, protects your landscaping, removes the old roof, installs the new system, and performs a full cleanup — including a magnetic nail sweep. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout the entire project.
10. How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection once a year and after any major storm or hurricane. Early detection prevents expensive repairs and keeps your home protected year-round.
11. Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Rocket Roofing is fully licensed and insured in Louisiana. Safety and professionalism are at the core of everything we do.
12. Do you offer emergency service after storms?
Yes! Southeast Louisiana’s weather can be unpredictable, so we provide emergency tarping, temporary repairs, and fast inspections after severe storms.
