Roof replacement

What you're actually buying when you replace a roof

We replace roofs across Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary, Central and Denham Springs, architectural shingle, standing seam metal and tile, with our own crews and a full tear-off every time.

A replacement is four decisions, not one: what comes off, what the decking needs, which system goes on, and how the attic breathes afterwards. Get ventilation wrong in Louisiana heat and a 30-year shingle ages like a 15-year one, which is why we size ridge and intake venting to the attic volume rather than copying whatever was there.

Typical architectural shingle replacements in Greater Baton Rouge land between $12,000 and $24,000. Pitch, layers, decking and access move that range, and metal sits above it. Your estimate shows each line so you can see exactly which of those applies to your house.

Signs you need this

When a repair stops being the right answer

  • Roof is past 18–20 years old
  • Widespread granule loss, not one slope
  • Multiple repairs on the same roof already
  • Decking is soft or previously water-damaged
  • Hail bruising across several slopes
  • You're selling and the roof is a closing condition

Homeowners here already trust us with the roof.

One licensed contractor for the roof, the water damage underneath it and the room you have to rebuild. Free inspection, written estimate, and a straight answer about whether you need a repair or a replacement.

Our process

How the work actually goes

  1. Step 1

    Inspection

    Roof and attic, photographed, with measurements taken for squares and pitch.

  2. Step 2

    System selection

    We price two or three systems side by side so you're choosing, not guessing.

  3. Step 3

    Permit and delivery

    We pull the permit, stage materials and confirm your install window.

  4. Step 4

    Install and warranty

    One to two days on site, then registration of your manufacturer warranty.

Financing

A new roof is a monthly number, not a lump sum

Most homeowners replace a roof once. Paying for it in one go is the part that stalls the decision, so we quote the monthly figure alongside the total and let you decide which one you're solving for.

Rates and terms come from our lending partner, we publish the real numbers once you've seen the estimate, never a teaser rate.

Typical replacement

$180–$320/mo

The wedge

If water already got inside, the ceiling is part of the job

Redbird holds the general contracting license, so drying, drywall, paint and flooring go on the same contract as the roof instead of waiting on another company's schedule.
