Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Marrero, LA
Architectural and Class 4 shingle roofs for Marrero homes, permitted and inspected through Jefferson Parish and priced in writing.
Epic Roofing installs Atlas and CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofing on Marrero houses. On a Marrero house, the age of the building shapes a reroof as much as the shingle line chosen for it, starting with the deck under the old roof. The first inspection is free.
Older Marrero Houses and a New Shingle Roof
According to census estimates, roughly seven in ten Marrero homes were built before 1980. On houses that age, the shingles coming off may sit on decking from the original build, and a shingle roof is only as sound as the deck it is nailed to. Soft or damaged sheathing can turn up during tear-off, which is why the estimate includes a decking allowance and the old layers are removed down to the boards before anything new goes down.
With no city government, Marrero reroofs are permitted and inspected through the Department of Building Permits in Jefferson Parish, and the work is held to the current Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code, including its wind provisions for coastal parishes. A Class 4 shingle is worth weighing, too, since golf-ball hail was reported in Marrero, near Lapalco Boulevard, in February 2013.

Steps in a Marrero Shingle Job
Free inspection:
Drone photos of the roof, an infrared moisture scan, and a look in the attic tell us what condition the deck is likely in.

Permit and materials:
We file the parish re-roofing permit and time the material drop to the install date.

Most asphalt tear-offs and installs wrap up in one to three days. Landscaping and the AC unit are covered, and a magnetic sweep for nails runs at the end of each workday.

Shingle Roof Prices in Marrero
A new shingle roof on a 2,000- to 2,500-square-foot Marrero house costs $13,000 to $23,000. Pitch, the number of valleys and dormers, the shingle line, and how much decking has to be replaced once the old roof is off decide where in that range your job lands, and a Class 4 upgrade is shown as a separate line. The parish permit fee is also itemized, so you can see what goes to the parish and what goes to the roof.
If the roof has years left and only a few shingles or a flashing detail have failed, a repair is the better fit: those usually run $400 to $1,800 for one area and $2,000 to $5,000 when several areas need work. Ask for a roof repair in Marrero quote in that case, and keep a full roof replacement in Marrero for when the decking or most of the shingles are gone.
Marrero Shingle Roofing Questions
Our house was built in the 1960s. What could turn up when the old shingles come off?
Sometimes board sheathing instead of plywood sheets, gaps between the boards, or nailing that is light or hard to identify. Shingles have to go on a solid deck, so if we find that, the estimate explains what it takes to bring the deck up to standard.
Does replacing just the back half of the roof still need a parish permit?
Yes. Jefferson Parish permits and inspects reroofing, and replacing the back half is a reroof. For anything smaller, the Department of Building Permits makes the decision, and our office pulls whatever permit the job requires, with every permit fee itemized in the estimate.
Atlas or CertainTeed: which should we choose?
Both make solid architectural shingles, and their standard lines compete head-to-head. Our ShingleMaster credential unlocks the SureStart Plus warranty for CertainTeed roofs, and both brands offer standard lines with algae-streaking protection. We lay out both on the estimate so you can pick by color, look, and warranty terms.
Will a Class 4 shingle change my insurance rate?
It might. Some insurers offer a discount for a Class 4 roof, and some do not; the amount varies by policy. Ask your insurer what applies to your policy before choosing. We provide the manufacturer's certificate after the installation.
What does the workmanship warranty cover, and does it pass to a buyer?
It covers our installation work, such as flashing, ridge cap, valleys and nail placement, for five years, and it stays with the house if you sell. The manufacturer's material warranty is separate; we register that one with the factory for you. The signed workmanship document is emailed once the install is finished.
