Southern Roofing is a family owned roofing company, operated by Thomas Armstrong, and serving the Northwest Louisiana region. The company was started after coming to the realization that customers in this part of the state have very few choices when it comes to having quality roof work, as well as general maintenance work performed on their home. We take a great deal of pride in our work. The desire for our work to be right every time is why we hand-nail all of our shingle roofs instead of cutting corners with nail guns.
"Lied to by Michael,sales and then charged outrageous fees for paying with card of $53 and $22 with no notice of how high the fee would be I asked for an reversal of fees to which Alaine refused. Alaine stated it is on the contract I signed which was signed in Oct 2023. And they still never finished the job. Buyer beware. It was a nightmare from the word go. The plaster and paint guys left a horrible mess and property was stolen. To which the company said “no way out guys steal”. They wouldn’t even ask/check with them. You really should go with someone else."

With nearly 500 five-star online reviews and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, Encore has succeeded in giving exceptional service and superior quality to its customers with no dissatisfied customers to date! Most customers found our metal roofing costs to be less than half of other companies, and in many cases less than the cost of a shingle roof replacement. Metal roofing is far superior to shingle roofing for the following reasons; #1 – it is much cooler than asphalt shingles- regardless of color. #2 – it is equivalent to the same cost. #3 – the lifetime of a metal roof is 3 to 4 times that of a shingle roof— or longer. #4 – Metal roofing increases the resale value of your home. #5 – Metal roofing eliminates the possible need for replacing any wood decking due to the fact that the metal roofing is installed using its own wood strip foundation. This is a huge cost savings for roofs that have possible rotten or weak wood decking. #6– Metal roofing sheds water much better than asphalt shingles, and is 2 to 3 times less likely to leak. #7 – the highest wind rating for a regular shingle roof is 130 mph – Metal roofing is 2 to 3 times better. Here are some myths online and otherwise that are simply NOT true regarding Metal roofing: #1 – Metal roofing is actually NOT heavier than shingle roofing— it is less than half the weight of shingle roofing. #2 – Metal roofing is NOT noisy due to the fact that we leave the existing shingles as a sound barrier and a thermal barrier. #3- Metal roofing is NOT 2 to 3 times the price. #4- Metal roofing does NOT affect cell phone reception or Internet usage. Although Encore Roofs specializes in quality and affordable metal roofing, we also provide other services such as blow in attic insulation and pressure washing. Customers like us because; - We are NOT a franchise- we are locally owned and operated. - The owner is on every job, every day of the job. - 95% of all projects are completed within within two weeks of a signed contract. - once work begins on a project, pricing does not change. - trustworthy, professional, communicative, clean work practices, quality materials, guaranteed installation, competitive cost. - Sorry; No hablo español. We look forward to working for you, and making you another one of our very happy customers :-)
"Encore Roofs did a excellent job on repairing my roof. I will not hesitate to use them again. Brian and his son completed the job in 2 days. Brian is personable, honest, and explained the issue and resolution. My roof has leaked since we purchased the house, and per the neighbors, since the house was built. The house has two different transition pitches on two different sections of the roof. The older part of the house was designed wrong and had no flashing. The newer add-on had transition flashing that was installed wrong. I talked to 3 companies as to how they would remediate the issue. One gave a quote over the phone via a satellite view only. Encore roofing and the other company met with me in person. Encore Roofs' repair design made sense, has a 10 year warranty on the work, and was competitive priced. The other companies only had warranties on a new roof. Encore Roofs replaced the ridge cap, put in a ridge vent, put in transition flashing on the older part, replaced the transition flashing on the newer part, fixed the roof rake, re-screwed the older part of the roof, and removed the old roof debris. Brian's innovative design eliminated the foam (that dry rots with age) under the transition flashing and the ridge cap. Brian also gave me the option to keep the left over new flashing and ridge cap. The completed work looks great."

Metal shake roofing systems provide 50 to 75 years of service, substantially outlasting conventional roofing materials. By comparison, asphalt shingles need replacement after 15 to 30 years, while traditional wood shakes last 20 to 40 years when properly maintained. Your climate, installation quality, and maintenance practices all influence the actual lifespan you'll experience.
Metal shingle roofs need minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Annual visual inspections, clearing debris from valleys and gutters, checking for loose fasteners, and addressing any coating damage comprise the basic maintenance routine. Unlike wood shakes that require regular treatments against rot and insects, metal shake systems maintain their integrity with simple preventative care.
Properly installed metal shake roofs with solid decking and quality underlayment produce minimal noise during precipitation. The textured surface of metal shakes disperses raindrops more effectively than flat metal panels, reducing sound transmission. Adding insulation during installation further minimizes noise concerns, making modern metal shake systems comparable to traditional roofing in terms of acoustics.
Whether metal shake roofing can be installed over existing shingles depends on local building codes, structural considerations, and manufacturer specifications. While overlay installation potentially reduces tear-off costs, it requires careful evaluation of the roof deck's condition and load capacity. Many professionals recommend complete removal of old materials to ensure proper installation and identify any hidden damage.
Metal shake roofing excels in extreme weather conditions, with superior resistance to high winds, hail impact, heavy snow loads, and wildfire exposure. The interlocking design helps prevent wind uplift, while the durable metal composition withstands impacts that would damage conventional materials. In snowy regions, the smooth surface allows snow to slide off more readily, reducing structural stress and ice dam formation.
