“A roof over your head” isn’t just a saying, it’s your first line of defense against Louisiana’s wild weather swings, from hurricane-force winds to relentless sun. So when it’s time for roof work, you want to know what you’re really paying for.

Let’s break it down, no fluff, no guesswork. Just a clear, honest guide from the pros at Westbank Roofing, your trusted roofing company in New Orleans for over 50 years.

Why Professional Roofing Services Matter

There’s a big difference between a guy with a ladder and a certified roofing contractor.

Here’s why hiring professionals like Westbank Roofing is worth every penny:

  • Precision installation that meets building codes and manufacturer specs
  • Licensed contractors who are insured and accountable
  • Certified service backed by warranties you can trust
  • And let’s be real peace of mind is priceless

What’s Really Included in Professional Roofing Services?

We hear this all the time: “What exactly do I get when I hire a roofing company?”

Let’s break it down into real, specific services, not vague promises.

1. Thorough Roof Inspection

Before anything goes up or gets torn off, your roof needs a full check-up.

What we check:

  • Soft spots, sagging, or rot
  • Shingle or membrane wear
  • Flashing, chimneys, vents, and skylight seals
  • Drainage systems like gutters and downspouts

At Westbank Roofing, our inspection doesn’t end with a clipboard. We give you photos, videos, and a straight-up explanation of what’s working and what’s not.

2. Detailed Written Estimate

Forget vague ballpark numbers. A true professional roofing service provides:

  • Line-by-line breakdowns of labor, materials, and timeline
  • Options based on your budget (not pressure tactics)
  • Honest recommendations sometimes a repair is enough, and we’ll tell you that

3. Roof Installation or Replacement

This is the core of what we do. But it’s not just “putting up shingles.”

You’re getting:

  • Tear-off & disposal of old materials (yep, we handle the mess)
  • Weatherproofing underlayment for extra moisture protection
  • Ventilation planning to prevent attic mold and heat buildup
  • Proper flashing and sealing to protect every edge and opening

We install everything from architectural shingles and standing seam metal to fortified roofing systems built to take on Gulf Coast storms. And yes we work with trusted brands like GAF and Malarkey.

4. Certified Roofing Contractor Workmanship

Here’s where it gets next-level.

We’re a Certified GAF Roofing Contractor only about 5% of roofing companies in North America earn that. Why does that matter?

  • It means our crew is factory-trained
  • We can offer upgraded warranties
  • We follow top-tier installation guidelines on every job

And with over five decades of roofing experience, you get craftsmanship that lasts.

5. Roof Repairs

Not every job means a full replacement. Sometimes it’s:

  • A leaky vent
  • Cracked flashing
  • Missing shingles
  • Storm damage that needs a fast fix

Whatever the issue, we’ll handle it quickly, cleanly, and with materials that match.

Pro tip: Small repairs now = big savings later.

6. Flat Roof & Metal Roof Services

Have a commercial property or a modern home with a flat roof?

We’ve got you covered with:

  • Modified bitumen systems
  • TPO and EPDM membranes
  • Elastomeric coatings for metal roofs

We even offer architectural metal roofing with clean, modern aesthetics. Every detail is built to last and made to look great too.

7. Maintenance Programs That Actually Work

Think of your roof like a car. It needs upkeep.

That’s why Westbank Roofing offers proactive roof maintenance services, including our Storm Watch Program:

  • We inspect your roof after major weather events automatically
  • Catch small issues before they become big expenses
  • Keep your warranty in good standing

You don’t have to chase us down. We show up when it matters.

8. Gutter and Siding Services

No roof works alone. Gutters and siding play a huge role in protecting your home’s structure.

Included services:

  • Seamless gutters and downspouts to keep water flowing away
  • Vinyl siding installations that are low maintenance and weatherproof
  • Soffit and fascia repair for airflow and clean aesthetics

It’s the full exterior care package.

9. Warranties That Hold Weight

Westbank Roofing doesn’t just finish the job and disappear.

We stand by our work with:

  • Manufacturer-backed warranties (thanks to our certified status)
  • In-house workmanship guarantees
  • Support you can actually reach when you need it

And yes our phones work. Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.

10. Financing Options

Roofing projects are big investments. We get it.

That’s why we offer affordable and simple financing to fit your budget without cutting corners on quality.

Final Thought: Not All Roofing Services Are Equal

Hiring just any roofer might seem cheaper but it can cost you more in the long run. You want licensed contractors who do it right the first time, using proven materials, with the track record to back it up.

That’s where Westbank Roofing comes in.
