(337) 408-1089Commercial Roof Retrofit — Lafayette Area
Commercial roof retrofit in Acadiana — installing a new roof system over an existing one without tear-off — delivers new warranty performance at 30–50% of full replacement cost when the substrate qualifies. The retrofit case is unusually strong across the Oil Center medical-office corridor and parts of the I-10 industrial corridor where existing modified bitumen roofs are structurally sound but membrane-aged. Metal retrofit over metal is also common on industrial and warehouse buildings across the I-10 corridor and rural Lafayette Parish commercial sites.
What to Expect From Brown's Roofing
- Substrate assessment including moisture survey to identify wet insulation
- Written comparison of retrofit vs. full replacement with cost, warranty, and disruption data
- Single-ply recover, coating, or metal retrofit options presented
- No tear-off required for qualifying sections
- New manufacturer warranty on the installed retrofit system (typically 20–30 years)
- Minimal operational disruption — faster than full replacement

FAQ
Commercial Roof Retrofit FAQ — Lafayette
- Retrofit works when the existing substrate is structurally sound and insulation is dry. We confirm both with structural review and moisture survey. Retrofit doesn't work when the existing roof has wet insulation (which would be trapped under the new system), failing decking, or substantial structural compromise. In those cases, full tear-off is the right call.
- Typically 30–50% of full replacement cost, plus reduced operational disruption. The metal retrofit also delivers substantial energy performance improvement on Acadiana summer cooling load.
- Manufacturer warranty on the retrofit system itself is typically 20–30 years for qualifying installations — same as new construction. The existing substrate underneath isn't covered by the new warranty, but proper retrofit isolates the new system's performance from the existing condition.
- Yes — properly engineered retrofit systems are wind-rated to the same standards as new installations. The mechanical attachment of the retrofit assembly to the substrate is engineered to handle Acadiana named-storm wind exposure under the 130–140 mph design wind zone.
