Roof Rejuvenation in St. Francisville & Greater Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The Greater Baton Rouge area built out hard through the 1970s, '80s and '90s, and it kept going through the 2000s. A huge share of the housing stock across East Baton Rouge, Livingston and the Felicianas went up in that window — which means a huge share of it is now on its second or third asphalt roof, and a lot of those roofs are somewhere between year 12 and year 20 right now.

That's the exact window where rejuvenation makes the most sense. The shingle body is still sound. The deck is fine. What's gone is the oil. In West Feliciana Parish, where more than 75% of residents own their homes — well above the national average — that's a lot of people about to be quoted a five-figure replacement on a roof that hasn't actually failed yet.

Add sixty-two inches of annual rain, a heat index that clears 115°F for months at a stretch, and endemic algae streaking, and you get roofs that look twenty years older than they are. Looking tired and being finished are two different things, and a free inspection is how you find out which one you've got.
