Shreveport Roof Pros provides professional flat and low-slope roofing in Shreveport, LA for residential and commercial properties across the Ark-La-Tex. Low slope in this market is rarely a whole building. It is the porch, the carport, the flat-topped ell and the rear addition that got bolted onto a ranch house in 1968, and those planes carry a risk the pitched part of the roof simply does not.
The January 2000 ice storm makes that point better than we can. One to four inches of accretion across this region collapsed hundreds of carports and poultry houses. Ice adds weight without warning, sits longest on the planes that drain slowest, and a structure framed sixty years ago for a light covering was never checked against a live load of that kind. So on any addition we survey, we look at the framing before the membrane.
Drainage comes second and it is where most of your money should go. Fifty-one inches of rain falls on this city in an average year and all of it has to leave faster than it arrives. Where a deck is genuinely dead flat we build slope with tapered polyiso to a quarter inch per foot rather than adding sheet thickness, because a thicker membrane sitting under standing water is only a more expensive version of the same problem.
Materials follow the use rather than the price list. Fully adhered or mechanically attached TPO and EPDM at sixty or eighty mil across open planes. Two-ply SBS-modified bitumen wherever rooftop equipment, foot traffic or a service hatch means the surface will actually be walked on. Standing seam metal is a perfectly legitimate answer on a small residential porch and is frequently the cheapest of the three.
Terminations decide the outcome far more than the field does. Edge metal properly fastened, wall flashing carried high enough behind the cladding to survive a wind-driven rain off a squall line, and a real drain or scupper sized against the actual roof area rather than against whatever hole somebody cut in 1968. Where the original scupper is undersized we say so and price the correction, rather than roofing neatly around a problem that will return.
If your carport still stands on its original framing and you want something heavier on top of it, we will tell you to have the structure looked at first. That conversation costs us jobs every year and we go on having it anyway.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class 4 impact-rated laminate shingles tested to UL 2218, self-adhered eave membrane held to the first course line, 26-gauge painted steel drip edge lapped over the underlayment, half-inch CDX sheathing scabbed over one-by plank decking, tapered polyiso built to a quarter-inch-per-foot drain slope, gutter trough in .032 aluminum sized for a static ice load — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Shreveport and nearby communities including Bossier City, Minden, Red Chute, Springhill.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat and low-slope roofing
The difference between flat and low-slope roofing that lasts and flat and low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Class 4 impact-rated laminate shingles tested to UL 2218, self-adhered eave membrane held to the first course line, 26-gauge painted steel drip edge lapped over the underlayment, half-inch CDX sheathing scabbed over one-by plank decking, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Shreveport job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Ark-La-Tex means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Shreveport Chooses Shreveport Roof Pros
- ✓We quote impact class before wind class, because this parish sits nowhere near the 140 mph ultimate design wind speed the code uses to draw a wind-borne debris region.
- ✓No eave membrane runs the whole deck on a Shreveport house. Nothing here builds a snowpack to dam behind, and the plan shows you where that membrane stops paying for itself.
- ✓Winter inspections are done at the thaw rather than during the event, because a glazed roof hides every defect it just caused and walking one is how people get hurt.
- ✓Fascia is measured and priced alongside the gutter, since a trough packed with ice pulls through soft pine long before it pulls a hanger out of anything.
