Roof Replacement Cost
What a Roof Replacement Costs in Baton Rouge
Roof replacement cost comes down to squares of roof, pitch and access, the system you pick, and how much decking has to be replaced once the old roof is off. The bands below are typical for the Baton Rouge market, not a quote: your written, itemized price comes from the free inspection and a measured roof.
Smaller, simple roof
$8,000 - $12,000
Single-story home, walkable pitch, straightforward layout, architectural shingles, sound decking, standard flashing and boots replaced.
Usually 1 day on site.
Average Baton Rouge home
$12,000 - $18,000
More squares, steeper pitch, multiple valleys and penetrations, some decking replaced, ridge vent added, architectural shingles or a fortified build.
Typically 1 to 2 days.
Large or metal system
$18,000 - $25,000+
Big or complex rooflines, heavy decking repair, standing seam or exposed fastener metal, custom flashing and trim work.
2 to 5 days, plus panel fabrication lead time on metal.
What changes the price
- Squares of roof, pitch, and how easy the roof is to walk and stage
- System chosen: architectural shingles, fortified build, or metal
- Decking condition, which nobody can price accurately until tear-off
- Number of valleys, chimneys, skylights, and pipe penetrations
- Ventilation corrections such as ridge vent or added soffit venting
- Whether the work is a storm claim, which changes the paperwork, not the roof
Ranges reflect typical Baton Rouge area replacements and are for planning only. Financing is available for qualified homeowners, and storm-related replacements come with a dated photo report and itemized scope you can submit to your insurer.
Timeline
How a Roof Replacement Actually Goes
Every replacement follows the same order, whether you pick shingles, a fortified build, or metal. You see photos before you see a price, and you get a written scope before anyone climbs on your roof.
- 01
Day 1
Free inspection and measure
We photograph every slope, valley, and penetration, check the decking and attic ventilation, and measure the roof. You get the photos whether or not you hire us.
- 02
Day 1 to 2
Written, itemized proposal
Materials, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and cleanup are spelled out line by line. If more than one roof system makes sense for your home, we price them side by side.
- 03
Before install
Scheduling, material drop, prep
Shingles or panels are delivered, landscaping and AC units get covered, and staging is set so debris lands where we want it.
- 04
Install day 1
Tear-off and deck repair
The old roof comes off to bare decking, soft plywood gets replaced, and new underlayment goes down. We never leave a deck open overnight.
- 05
Install day 1 to 2
New roof system installed
Starter course, field shingles or metal panels, new flashing and pipe boots, then ridge vent and ridge cap. Flashing is where roofs leak, so it gets the most attention.
- 06
Final day
Cleanup, walkthrough, warranty
We magnet-sweep the yard and drive, haul off all debris, walk the finished roof with you photo by photo, and hand off your 2-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer material warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Roof Replacement, Common Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Baton Rouge?
Most residential roof replacements in the Baton Rouge area are completed in 1–3 days depending on home size, pitch, and weather conditions.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, three-tab shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic underlayments from top manufacturers, all backed by strong material warranties.
How much does a new roof cost in Baton Rouge?
Roof replacement in the Baton Rouge area typically ranges from about $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on size, pitch, materials, and decking condition. We provide a free, itemized written quote.
Do you offer financing?
Yes: flexible financing options are available for qualified Baton Rouge homeowners. Ask about it when you request your free estimate.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just a repair?
As a rule of thumb, if your roof is nearing 20+ years, has widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or major storm damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our free inspection includes an honest recommendation.
What documentation do I get for a storm-related roof replacement?
A dated photo report of every slope, roof measurements, and an itemized written scope and estimate. It is a complete record of the damage and the work, and it is yours to keep or submit yourself.
How do I show that a storm caused my roof to fail?
With evidence gathered soon after the event. We inspect free, photograph every slope with dates, mark test squares where hail is suspected, measure the roof, and write an itemized scope. That written record is what documents storm damage versus normal age-related wear.
What happens on the day of installation?
Crews arrive early, tarp the landscaping, and tear off the old roofing down to the deck. We replace any rotted decking, install underlayment, new flashing, drip edge, and ventilation, then shingle. The site is magnet-swept for nails at the end of every day and we walk the finished roof with you before the final invoice.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Every new roof includes our 2-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty. Specific terms depend on the shingle or metal system chosen.
