Deck Checked First
Restoration starts from the attic. A soft deck rules it out.
Often far cheaper than replacement. A free inspection decides whether the deck is sound enough to restore, and the written scope covers every repair and treatment.
Roof restoration brings a tired but structurally sound roof back into good order: repairs, fresh flashing and sealant, cleaning, and a protective coat where the material suits it.
Big Easy Roofing Company restores roofs across New Orleans that have lost their surface but not their deck. Done at the right point, restoration buys years for a fraction of what a new roof costs.
Restoration only works on a dry, sound deck. If the inspection finds soft wood or failed underlayment across the roof, the honest answer is a roof replacement, and the report explains why.
Restoration starts from the attic. A soft deck rules it out.
Repairs, flashing, sealant and surface together, not a quick coat of paint.
When the deck is sound, restoration costs a fraction of a new roof.
Restoration suits a roof that looks worse than it is. These are the signs yours might qualify.
Faded, weathered shingles over a dry deck are the classic restoration roof.
Scattered cracked tiles or shingles can be replaced one by one without touching the rest.
Moss and algae look alarming but usually sit on top. Cleaned off and treated, the roof underneath is often fine.
Metal that has rusted on top but not through can be cleaned, repaired and coated.
Old flashing and dried sealant are renewed as part of a restoration, which removes the usual leak points.
Slate, tile and good metal outlast their fixings. Restoring them keeps a roof that would cost a great deal to replace.
Not sure yours qualifies? The free inspection checks the deck first and tells you.

From the attic first: rafters, decking and underlayment checked for damp and soft spots.
A soft deck rules it out.
The surface, flashing, penetrations and edges checked and photographed.
Every problem logged.
Each repair, each treatment and the coating if any, priced line by line.
Agreed before work.
Moss, algae and debris removed with methods that suit the material, never a blast that strips granules.
Gentle on the surface.
Broken pieces replaced, lifted ones refastened, soft spots cut out and renewed.
Matched to the old roof where possible.
Chimney, wall and valley flashing replaced or resealed where it has failed.
The usual leak points.
Penetrations resealed, and a protective coating on metal or low-slope sections where it suits.
Only where it helps.
Photos of every slope, before and after, for your records.
Yours to keep.
The restoration check is free, and if the answer is replacement, you hear that too.

Damaged shingles replaced, lifted tabs resealed, boots and flashing renewed. Coatings are rarely right on shingle, so they are left out.
Rust treated, fasteners replaced, seams sealed and a coating applied. Often the best-value restoration of all.
Broken pieces replaced, slipped ones refixed, and the underlayment checked at the eaves and valleys.
Blisters and split seams repaired, then a coating to renew the surface where the membrane underneath is still dry.
A coat of paint on a failing roof hides it for a year. Restoration fixes what is wrong first, then protects it.
Restoration is priced from the inspection, not a rate card. These five things decide it.
More squares, more cleaning, more surface to treat.
A handful of pieces or dozens changes the repair line a lot.
Each chimney, wall and valley that needs new metal adds to the scope.
Metal and flat roofs take a coating. Tile and slate take careful piece work.
Heavy growth and rust take more cleaning and treatment.

Restoration bids can look alike on the first page. These rows show where they part.
Quote A is a composite, made up from shortcuts common in low restoration bids. It is not a real quote, and no particular company is meant.
Thinking about selling in a few years? Restoration is often the smart middle ground. Ask us to price both.
Talk to a roofer504-229-3955A repair fixes one problem. A restoration works through the whole roof: repairs, flashing, sealant, cleaning and, where it suits, a coating.
It depends on the material and how worn it was. The point is to get useful years from a roof that is sound underneath, and the scope says what to expect for yours.
Usually much cheaper, when the deck is sound. If it is not, restoration would be money wasted, and we will say so.
Partly. Damaged shingles, boots and flashing can be renewed, but a worn-out shingle roof cannot be made new again. Coatings are rarely a good idea on shingle.
It can. High pressure strips shingle granules and cracks tile, which is why cleaning is matched to the material.
A roof in better condition helps at renewal, and the before and after photos document the work. Ask your insurer how they treat it.
