New residential roof installations for new construction and major renovation projects.
(337) 408-1089Residential Roof Installation — Lafayette Area
New roof installation in Acadiana — for new construction, major additions, or detached structures — gets the same standard as our re-roof work: 130–140 mph design wind zone fastener schedules as baseline, standing-seam metal and Class 3 impact-resistant architectural shingles as primary system options, ridge and soffit ventilation engineered to manufacturer requirements, and full permit coordination through the right office. Brown's Roofing handles new builds across Lafayette Parish (Lafayette, Scott, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro), St. Martin (Breaux Bridge), Iberia (New Iberia), St. Landry (Opelousas), and Vermilion (Abbeville) — coordinated with the FORTIFIED Gold spec that's increasingly the new-construction baseline in this market.
What to Expect From Brown's Roofing
- Pre-installation deck inspection and ventilation specification review
- 130–140 mph design wind zone fastener schedule as standard scope (6-nail minimum, ring-shank options)
- Standing-seam Galvalume and Class 3 / Class 4 architectural shingle as primary system options
- Proper synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge, and starter strip per manufacturer requirements
- Coordinated installation alongside framing, decking, and exterior finish trades
- Permit coordination through Lafayette Consolidated Government, Scott, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, or parish offices as required
- FORTIFIED Gold scope coordination on new builds where the grant or discount math favors it
- Manufacturer warranty registration and written workmanship warranty at completion

FAQ
Residential Roof Installation FAQ — Lafayette
- Yes — we coordinate with general contractors, framers, decking subs, and exterior finish trades on new construction across the metro and Acadiana parishes. Our scheduling integrates with the broader construction timeline, and we handle our own permit and inspection routing through the right office (Lafayette Consolidated Government, Scott, Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, or parish jurisdiction).
- Worth strongly considering. Building to FORTIFIED Gold standard from initial construction is meaningfully cheaper than retrofitting later, and the insurance discount and storm performance benefits compound over the life of the home — particularly meaningful given Lafayette Parish's repeated hurricane exposure. The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program grant typically applies to retrofits during re-roofs rather than new construction, but the FORTIFIED build itself is worthwhile regardless. Many post-2020 Couret Farms and Sugar Mill Pond builds went up to FORTIFIED Gold from the start.
- Yes — standing-seam metal is one of our most common new-construction installs in this market. We carry the panel widths, clip systems, trim details, and underlayment specifications that work on Acadian-style hip-roof geometry, and our crews install metal weekly across Couret Farms, Sugar Mill Pond, River Ranch, and the broader Acadiana custom-build inventory.
- We do. The City of Youngsville and the City of Broussard each run their own building permit offices, separate from Lafayette Consolidated Government and from each other. We pull the right one based on your address — you don't have to figure out which jurisdiction.
