Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?
Not every damaged roof needs a full replacement — but knowing the difference can save you thousands of dollars.
One of the most important — and most honest — things we do at Alpha Roofing is help homeowners figure out whether a repair or a full replacement is the right call. We believe in giving you the facts, not a sales pitch.
As a general guideline, if a quality repair costs less than 30% of a full replacement, repair is usually the smarter financial choice. But several factors can tip the scale toward replacement:
Age of the Roof
Most asphalt shingle roofs in Shreveport and Bossier City have a 20–30 year lifespan. If your roof is approaching or past that range, replacement often delivers better long-term value than repeated repairs.
Extent of Damage
Widespread storm damage, significant granule loss, or multiple areas of active leaking typically indicate that a replacement will outperform a patchwork repair.
Deck Condition
If we discover rotted or structurally compromised decking during our inspection, a replacement becomes necessary to address the underlying issue properly.
Insurance Coverage
If a storm event has caused sufficient damage, your homeowner’s insurance may cover a full replacement at little or no out-of-pocket cost to you. Our team can help you determine if filing a claim makes sense — learn more on our insurance claims page.
Not sure which route is right for you? Our Shreveport & Bossier City roof repair covers the details, or simply call us for a free inspection and we will give you an honest assessment.
HOW IT WORKS
Our Roof Replacement Process
From the first nail to the final cleanup — here is exactly what to expect when Alpha Roofing replaces your roof.
Site Preparation
We move vehicles back, protect landscaping and flower beds with tarps, and set up for a clean, safe work area. Your property is treated with the same care we would give our own homes.
Strip the Old Roof
We remove old shingles and felt down to a clean deck, then inspect every square inch for rotten wood or structural damage. Any compromised decking is replaced before we install a single component of your new roofing system.
Drip Edge, Felt & Ice Shield
We install CertainTeed WinterGuard ice and water shield in all valleys, around penetrations, chimneys, and overhangs. CertainTeed RoofRunner synthetic felt provides your last line of defense against moisture. Drip edge is installed per CertainTeed specifications — over felt at the eaves, under felt on the rakes.
New Shingles
We recommend the CertainTeed Landmark series — the heaviest shingles on the market, available in nearly 30 colors. Landmark shingles feature CertainTeed’s NailTrak system with a wider 1.5-inch nailing area for more accurate, efficient installation and better wind resistance.
Ridge Vent & Hip Shingles
We install a 12-inch CertainTeed ridge vent for proper attic ventilation, followed by ShadowRidge or MountainRidge hip and ridge shingles to upgrade your warranty eligibility to 50 years under the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System.
Final Inspection & Cleanup
We check every detail, paint all hardware and plumbing pipes, blow the roof clean, and do a thorough yard cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep. You will know the job is done when you cannot tell we were there — except for the beautiful new roof overhead.
Timeline: Most residential roof replacements in Shreveport and Bossier City are completed in one to two days. The exact timeline depends on the size and pitch of your roof and weather conditions. We will give you a clear schedule before we begin and keep you updated throughout.
Can you stay home during a roof replacement? Yes, absolutely. While the work does create noise, there is no need to vacate your home. Our crew works safely and efficiently, and we will keep you informed every step of the way.
CertainTeed Shingle Options for Shreveport & Bossier City Homes
Not all shingles are created equal — here is what sets CertainTeed apart, and which product lines we recommend.
Our most popular recommendation. The Landmark series features two-piece laminated fiberglass construction, nearly 30 color options, StreakFighter algae-resistant technology, and qualifies for up to a 50-year limited transferable warranty with 130 MPH wind resistance when installed as part of the full Integrity Roof System.
A step up from the standard Landmark, the Pro line features enhanced Max Def color definition for a richer, more dimensional appearance on your home. Popular color choices include Georgetown Gray, Weathered Wood, and Moire Black.
The Premium line delivers the boldest colors and the heaviest weight in the Landmark family, providing outstanding curb appeal and maximum durability for homeowners seeking a premium finish.
Louisiana’s heat and humidity create ideal conditions for algae growth on roofs. CertainTeed’s StreakFighter technology uses copper-infused granules to inhibit algae streaking and keep your roof looking clean year after year.
CertainTeed’s wider 1.5-inch nailing area makes installation more consistent and precise, reducing the risk of blow-off and ensuring your roof performs at its warranted wind-resistance rating.

Your Complete Roofing System
A roof is more than just shingles. Your roofing system includes three critical components that work together to protect your home and maximize the life of your investment:
CertainTeed Landmark series with StreakFighter technology and two-piece laminated fiberglass construction for exceptional durability and weather resistance.
Proper ridge vents and soffit intake for continuous airflow. Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, which dramatically shortens shingle life and can void your manufacturer warranty.
Essential for temperature regulation, energy efficiency, and shingle longevity. We assess your attic insulation as part of every roof replacement project.
When all three components are properly specified and installed together, your roof performs at its maximum potential — and your CertainTeed warranty coverage reaches its highest level. Alpha Roofing offers a 3-year workmanship warranty on every new roof installation, backed by CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty for total peace of mind long after we pack up our tools.
As a CertainTeed certified installer, we are qualified to offer enhanced SureStart PLUS™ warranty coverage — a benefit that non-certified contractors simply cannot provide. That means choosing Alpha Roofing is not just a quality decision, it is a warranty decision.
What Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Shreveport & Bossier City?
Honest answers about pricing — because you deserve to know what you are paying for.
The cost of a residential roof replacement in the Shreveport and Bossier City area varies based on several key factors. We believe in transparent pricing, so here is what actually drives the cost of your project:
Larger roofs and steeper pitches require more materials and more labor time. Roof size is measured in “squares” (100 sq ft each) and is the primary driver of project cost.
Standard Landmark shingles offer excellent value. Upgrading to Landmark Pro or Premium adds cost but also adds curb appeal, warranty coverage, and resale value.
If rotted or damaged decking is discovered during tear-off, it must be replaced before installation. We document and photograph all decking repairs so you understand exactly what was done and why.
Chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, and other roof penetrations require additional flashing and waterproofing work, which adds to the total project cost.
The best way to get an accurate cost for your specific home is to schedule a free inspection and estimate. We will walk your roof, document everything we find, and give you a written, itemized estimate — no vague numbers, no surprises. If you are working through an insurance claim, we can also help you understand what your policy covers. See our insurance claims assistance page for details.
If you need help financing your new roof, Alpha Roofing offers flexible options through trusted lending partners. Visit our roof financing page to learn more — because a damaged or aging roof should not have to wait.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Shreveport and Bossier City are completed in one to two days, depending on the size and pitch of your roof. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and keep you informed throughout. Weather occasionally causes delays, but we communicate proactively so you are never left guessing.
What warranty do you offer on a new roof?
Alpha Roofing provides a 3-year workmanship warranty on every new roof installation. When we install the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System, your shingles are also covered by CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty — up to 50 years for materials and up to 130 MPH wind resistance. As a CertainTeed certified installer, we can also offer enhanced SureStart PLUS™ warranty coverage that non-certified contractors cannot provide.
Can I stay home while my roof is being replaced?
Yes. There is no need to leave your home during a roof replacement. The work is loud at times, but our crew works safely and efficiently around your household. We protect landscaping and entry areas, and we perform a thorough magnetic nail sweep and cleanup at the end of every workday.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
This depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and the condition of your decking. As a general rule, if a repair costs less than 30% of a replacement, repair is usually the right choice. If your roof is 20+ years old, has widespread damage, or has significant decking issues, replacement is often more cost-effective long term. Our free inspection will give you an honest, photo-documented answer. You can also learn more on our roof repair page.
Does my homeowner’s insurance cover a roof replacement?
If your roof has been damaged by a covered storm event — such as hail, high winds, or a fallen tree — your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover part or all of the replacement cost. Alpha Roofing has extensive experience helping Shreveport and Bossier City homeowners navigate the insurance claims process. We offer a free inspection, document all damage with photos, and can be present during the adjuster visit to advocate for a fair and complete settlement. Visit our insurance claims page for more details.
