Start with what holds it all.
The deck is the surface every roof layer depends on. Its condition needs attention before new materials cover it up.
Ask before you commit
What did the inspection find beneath the shingles?
A roof is too expensive to get wrong.
You’re choosing the protection over everything underneath it. SCS documents the condition, explains repair or replacement and puts the work and materials in writing before you commit.

Understand the roof before you pay for the work.
The wrong recommendation can leave the problem unresolved or have you paying for work you did not need. SCS documents the condition, traces the cause and explains the scope before you decide.
What you don’t see matters.
A finished surface only tells part of the story. Take a look at the details you’re trusting someone to get right.

Roofing questions
Straight answers before you climb any further.
Can a leaking roof be repaired, or does it need replacement?
That depends on where the water is entering, the condition of the surrounding system and the roof’s remaining service life. SCS inspects and photographs the condition before recommending repair or replacement.
What happens after a storm inspection?
You receive a clear explanation of what was found and a written scope for any recommended work. If the roof does not need work, SCS will say so.
What is a FORTIFIED roof?
FORTIFIED is a construction and reroofing standard focused on reducing storm damage. Ask your project manager about the applicable requirements and evaluation process for your home.
Do you install roofs outside St. Tammany Parish?
Yes. SCS serves St. Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes, the New Orleans metro and communities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Roofing basics for SCS homeowners: roof components, repair versus replacement, material choices, estimates and questions to ask.
ExploreFORTIFIED roofing
A FORTIFIED Roof is a complete roof-system standard with independent evaluation. Start with the installation and documentation requirements before choosing a shingle or assuming a roof qualifies.
ExploreGrants, tax credits & insurance
A grant, tax credit, insurance benefit and loan pay for work in different ways. Check the application timing and written eligibility before signing a contract or treating an award as part of your budget.
ExploreRoof cost & estimate factors
A reliable roof price comes from a measured roof and a defined scope. We have not verified a current installed-price dataset for these eleven cities, so this guide does not present a city average or a made-up starting price.
ExploreMaterials & warranties
Choose a roof system with a clear installation scope and written coverage. A brand name or “lifetime” headline cannot tell you everything about the materials, labor or conditions covered.
