Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Covington, LA
New Atlas or CertainTeed shingle roofs on Covington homes, priced on an estimate that names the line and everything that goes under it.
Covington reroofs are permitted by the city within its limits and by St. Tammany Parish outside them, and the parish form requires a specific shingle wind rating. Epic Roofing's estimate settles questions like that in advance by naming the exact asphalt shingle line we would install and what goes beneath it, so the roof you are pricing is the roof that goes on. The first inspection is free.
Covington Houses, Codes and Shingle Permits
By census estimates, Covington has about 4,600 homes, and roughly eight in ten are detached single-family houses. The median home was built around 1991. About one home in five dates from the 2010s, so a good share of the city is still on its first roof, while houses from the 1980s and 1990s may be on their second roof or beyond.
Within the city, the City of Covington issues reroof permits. The city posts the state code editions in force, the International Residential Code among them, on its permit pages. Louisiana law has, since August 1, 2025, required reroofs of one- and two-family homes to be permitted and inspected wherever a city or parish issues permits. Covington-area addresses outside city limits, such as much of 70435, take a St. Tammany Parish roofing permit instead, and that form calls for shingles rated G or H under ASTM D7158, or F under ASTM D3161.
What Our Covington Shingle Estimate Spells Out
The product, by line:
The estimate names it exactly: Atlas Pinnacle Pro or the StormMaster Slate and Shake lines, or, from CertainTeed, Landmark Pro, Presidential, or the NorthGate ClimateFlex line. We can price a second line beside the first if you are weighing two.
Its wind and impact ratings:
The wind rating is written next to the line, and Landmark Pro uses the enhanced nailing pattern as our default. Class 4 status under UL 2218 is stated for the StormMaster and NorthGate lines.
Algae resistance where the line has it:
Atlas treats Pinnacle Pro with Scotchgard Protector, and CertainTeed gives Landmark Pro StreakFighter, and the estimate shows which protection your line carries.
Low or flat sections on a separate system:
A porch or rear addition too flat for shingles gets TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen, and the estimate shows it as a separate line.
Ridge vent footage and a decking allowance:
Linear feet of ridge vent, the underlayment and flashing spec, and an allowance for any soft decking found at tear-off are all itemized.
Inspection to Handover on a Covington Reroof
Inspection and shingle choices:
A drone photographs the roof, we look through the attic and run infrared over any stained area that may hold moisture, then go over the Atlas and CertainTeed choices with you on the same visit.
Numbers on paper:
The estimate arrives in 2–5 business days, and no deposit is involved at this stage.
Permit and delivery:
We file with the city or the parish and schedule the shingle delivery around your install date, so materials are not left sitting in the yard.
A day or two on the roof, then the paperwork:
On a typical Covington house, tear-off and install take one to two days. Landscaping and the AC condenser are covered, and a magnet goes over the yard every workday. At the end, we register the manufacturer warranty, file SureStart Plus on CertainTeed installs, and send you our 5-year transferable workmanship warranty.
What a Covington Shingle Reroof Costs
A standard architectural reroof on a Covington house of 2,000 to 2,500 square feet falls in the $13,000 to $23,000 range. Roof pitch, the count of hips and valleys, your chosen line, and how much soft decking turns up at tear-off decide where it lands, and the permit fee is listed separately.
If only part of the roof is failing, a roof repair in Covington may be enough: $400 to $1,800 for one spot and $2,000 to $5,000 for several areas needing work. Owners leaning toward another material or living in the historic district can price a roof replacement in Covington in a material other than shingles.
Shingle Questions From Covington Owners
We are inside city limits. Which code will our new roof be inspected under?
The city's permit office decides which edition applies to your permit, and we build to that edition.
The parish form for our 70435 address asks for a shingle class. Who fills that in?
We do, from the product data for the line you choose. The class the form asks for is a wind rating; impact resistance is a separate rating, Class 4 under UL 2218, and it stays your choice inside or outside city limits.
What does Presidential add over Landmark Pro?
Mostly looks. Presidential is CertainTeed's premium architectural line, a heavier shingle with a deeper profile and a designer color range, while Landmark Pro is its standard architectural line. SureStart Plus applies to both when we install them, and the estimate can price the two on one page so you can weigh the look against the cost.
Do you need to see the attic before pricing new shingles?
Yes, where there is an access hatch. From the attic, we can see the underside of the decking and verify that the roof has the airflow the shingle warranty requires; both factors affect the estimate.
How do we compare your estimate with another roofer's?
Start with the product: the same line, the same wind rating, and the same layers beneath it, or the totals are not comparable. Then look at the warranties. SureStart Plus on a CertainTeed roof depends on the installer holding the ShingleMaster credential, so ask the other roofer about it before setting the two warranty offers side by side.
