What Sets Us Apart from Roofing-Only Companies
Most roofers can install shingles. What happens when they find rotten decking, damaged rafters, or compromised load-bearing connections? They call someone else. We don't have to.
General Contractor License
LA License #889646 authorizes us to handle structural repairs, framing, and load-bearing work that roofing-only companies can't legally perform. When we find deck rot or rafter damage, we fix it in-house—no subcontractor delays.
FORTIFIED Certified
We install IBHS FORTIFIED roofing systems with independent third-party verification. This earns homeowners 15–40% on insurance premiums under Louisiana law—savings that roofing-only companies can't deliver.
Photo-Documented Projects
Every project receives twice-daily photo updates showing exactly what's happening on your roof. You see the tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, and final installation without climbing a ladder.
Metairie-Based, Not Storm Chasers
We live and work in Southeast Louisiana year-round. After the storm crews leave town, we're still here to honor warranties, handle repairs, and answer your calls. We've been your neighbor since day one.
Our Roofing Services
We install and replace every major residential roofing system. Choose the option that fits your home, budget, and long-term goals—or call us and we'll help you decide.
Roof Repair
Targeted repairs for leaks, missing shingles, flashing failures, soffit and fascia damage, and emergency tarping after storms. If your roof can be repaired honestly, we repair it. If it cannot, we tell you straight.

FORTIFIED Roofing
FORTIFIED is a nationally recognized building standard developed by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) that strengthens roofs against hurricanes, high winds, and hail. It's not a different material—it's a higher standard of installation using the same quality shingles, with added protections like a sealed roof deck, enhanced fastening, reinforced drip edges, and hurricane clips verified by an independent evaluator.
Louisiana law requires insurers to offer discounts—typically 15–40% on wind premiums—for FORTIFIED certified homes. Most homeowners recoup the additional cost within 3–5 years through insurance savings alone. Cajun Home Services is a certified FORTIFIED contractor with the structural expertise to handle every aspect of the installation and certification process.
Latest Roofing Project
Destrehan Re-Roof — Brittle Shingles Replaced for a Repeat Customer
Destrehan, LA · St. Charles Parish
A returning Destrehan homeowner called us back when her aging shingles started shedding granules into the gutters and a few small leaks appeared overhead. We tore the failing roof down to the deck, replaced damaged sheathing, and rebuilt the system with new underlayment and architectural shingles — all under licensed oversight by the same contractor she already trusted.
Worn-Out Roof → Finished Re-Roof
The brittle, leak-prone shingle roof was replaced with a fully rebuilt architectural shingle system designed to keep the Destrehan homeowner dry through Louisiana weather.
Old Shingles → New Architectural Shingles (Close-Up)
Side-by-side close-up: brittle, curling, granule-shedding shingles replaced with crisp, uniform Atlas Pinnacle Pristine architectural shingles laid in tight, consistent courses.
Why It Needed Replacing
Close-Up: Brittle, Lifting, Granule-Loss Shingles
Up-close inspection photos showed the failure points: lifted and curling shingle tabs, buckling along the ridge, cracked ridge caps, heavy granule loss exposing the asphalt mat, and gutters packed with shed granules — all classic signs that this Destrehan roof was at the end of its service life.
During the Re-Roof — Tear-Off to Underlayment
Each phase documented from the air and on the deck — full tear-off, sheathing inspection, synthetic underlayment, and Atlas Pinnacle Pristine architectural shingles staged for install.
Project Update · 50% Complete
Phased Install — Half Done, Homeowner Stayed Dry
With rain in the forecast, we split the re-roof into two phases: finish the first half completely — shingles, ridge caps, flashing — before opening up the second half. The homeowner stayed dry through the storms while we kept production moving.
Finished Roof
Completed Architectural Shingle Roof in Destrehan
