WORKSITE APPROACH

Our Worksite Approach and Technology

At Louisiana Roof Crafters we build the strongest roofs in the industry. In our worksite approach, we strip the old felt off your deck, remove all nails to minimize future nail pops, then inspect your deck for rotten wood before we install your new felt. When installing your new shingles, we add Storm Guard in all valleys and around all pipes and potential leak areas like chimneys and skylights. These steps are not standard but are our way of going the extra mile to minimize the potential for a leak.

Worksite Approach Louisiana Roof Crafters

Our worksite approach, we also own and utilize The Equipter, a state-of-the-art roofing tool that allows us to approach your yard (our worksite) totally differently than the way roofing was done in the past. Some facts about The Equipter:

•If you can tow 7,500 pounds with your truck, just hook up The Equipter like any trailer and haul it to your site. The Equipter’s drive axle automatically disengages when hooked up for towing. Once at the site, The Equipter is a self-propelled trailer and can move around under its own power with its gasoline-powered hydraulic drive system.

•At just 6′ wide, The Equipter can get into small spaces where trucks and trailers just cannot go.  The Equipter has a very tight turning radius, and the large tires provide excellent traction but distribute the weight to reduce ruts and marks on your lawn.

•Landscaping can take a beating during a traditional tear-off procedure. So, we designed The Equipter with a rear extension roll-back feature that extends its large container over obstacles like shrubs and flowerbeds. It also places the container well within reach of our crew for either debris removal or new material transport.

•Get the debris out easily and safely, with the container so close by. The wide doors extend the catch area to 10.5′, ensuring all the debris goes into The Equipter, not onto the ornamentals down below. Once you take the old stuff out, bring the new in, using The Equipter as a lift for tons of new materials, right where our crew needs them.

•Up high—down low, it doesn’t matter. Just extend the hydraulic tailgate and you’re ready to dump the load anywhere you need to. And, since The Equipter is a self-propelled trailer, we keep that big truck off the lawn and let The Equipter deliver the debris there safely and easily.

All of this added ability translates into savings to you, our customer. Our worksite approach is to get in and finish more quickly, use less manpower to do superior work and dramatically reduce clean-up time.

HOW TO CHOOSE A ROOFING CONTRACTOR

Your roof does a great job at protecting you from the elements, but sometimes it can use a helping hand from roofing contractors. Since you don’t always see the signs of a future roof problem, don’t wait for leaks before you get roofing contractors to assess your roof’s health.

What Does Roofing Services Do for You?

Louisiana Roof Crafters examines many aspects of your roof to determine whether you need a replacement or repair. For instance, over time, the UV rays from the sun can break down your shingles. Water can also make its way through the broken shingles and cause rot. If it gets in between your walls, you deal with mold and mildew. In addition, the roof structure can get damaged by high wind, hail, algae, tree branches and other natural causes. Just a few reasons Baton Rouge roofing contractors are valuable for inspections.
WIth Louisiana Roof Crafters, you will first get a thorough roof inspection from the contractor. They can tell you whether you need shingle replacement, roof structure repair or changes to your flashings. Since your roof also needs a reliable way to move water away from it, gutter cleaning typically gets scheduled alongside the inspection. If tree branches or leaves pile up on the roof, the contractor also removes these before they cause long-lasting damage. Professional roofing maintenance and repair services in Baton Rouge can help you avoid large-scale roof replacement before your shingles reach the end of their usable life.

What to Look for in a Baton Rouge, LA, Roofing Service

There are many Baton Rouge roofing contractors. However, you should choose carefully, since a subpar roof repair can put your entire home at risk if water gets in. By the time you realize there’s a problem, you’ll have cracked walls, water on your electrical system and wood rot destroying your house. Here are a few ways to tell a quality roofing service from less-skilled contractors.

Industry Certification 

The roofing industry uses certifications to recognize contractors who meet a strict set of standards established by suppliers or organizations. Certified contractor companies show they go the extra mile to learn about roofing tools and materials. This knowledge shows through in long-lasting material selection and high-quality workmanship.

Professionalism 

Pay attention to every company interaction before the contractor does any work on your home. You need a detail-oriented roofing service to catch the small problems that could lead to major roof failure. Examining their professionalism in other aspects of their business will show you potential red flags. For example, do they have a website that looks good and helps you get in touch with the company? When you call, are you greeted promptly and courteously?

Customer Education 

Roofing 101 isn’t covered in school. You don’t know what dangers your roof faces or how often you need an inspection. The roofing contractor, on the other hand, specializes in this knowledge. Look for customer education information on their website. The top roofing contractors in Baton Rouge will help you understand what they’re going to do with your roof and why.

Excellent Reputation 

Reach out to your neighbors, friends, family, and other local sources to find out whether your selected roofing contractor has a good reputation. Your roof is too important to trust with someone who can’t get the job done on time or uses the cheapest materials that fail a year later.
Ready to get started on your inspection, repair or replacement? Reach out to the Louisiana Roof Crafters for all your roofing needs.
