Brown's Roofing in Shreveport, LA
Brown's Roofing's Northwest Louisiana office is at 2285 Benton Road in Bossier City — inside the metro, not parachuting in. From here we cover Caddo, Bossier, De Soto, Webster, and Sabine parishes daily. We've replaced slate roofs in Highland after April hail, restored steep gable Tudors in South Highlands, installed Class IV impact-resistant systems across Pierremont and University Park, and worked the I-20 commercial and Port of Caddo-Bossier industrial corridors. The Ark-La-Tex tornado pattern, the Caddo hail belt, and the Highland historic district are familiar territory.
Why Shreveport Trusts Us
Local crews, local routes, local accountability.
Our office at 2285 Benton Road in Bossier City puts us inside the metro, not driving up from somewhere else. We've replaced steep-pitch slate sections in Highland and South Highlands, installed Class IV impact-resistant systems across Pierremont and University Park after spring hail, restored Tudor copper valleys in Broadmoor, and worked the riverfront and I-20 commercial corridors. We've handled enough Caddo and Bossier insurance claims through the spring hail seasons to know which carriers fight matching and which don't.
Tornado-Track Familiar
Ark-La-Tex tornado season is a different animal than Gulf-coast hurricane season. We document EF-rated wind damage to the standard the carrier panel actually settles on.
Historic-District Restoration
Highland and South Highlands aren't a normal residential market. We do slate matching, copper-valley repairs, and dormer flashing that protect the architectural character.
FORTIFIED Grant Coordination
The Louisiana Fortify Homes Program covers up to $10,000 of an IBHS FORTIFIED Roof retrofit. We carry IBHS FORTIFIED Certified status and run the evaluator coordination and paperwork as part of standard scope.
Hail-Belt Volume
Caddo and Bossier hail seasons keep our crews sharp. Slope-by-slope photos, test squares, and matched manufacturer documentation come standard.

What roofs in Shreveport actually go through
Shreveport-Bossier is the driest, most 'Texas-feeling' corner of Louisiana — the Ark-La-Tex weather pattern is its own thing. Spring is severe-weather season for real here; the metro sits at the eastern edge of Tornado Alley, and supercells out of East Texas regularly drop hail and EF-1+ tornadoes through Caddo and Bossier parishes (the April 2019 and November 2022 outbreaks are recent memory). Summers are blast-furnace hot with less humidity than Baton Rouge, droughts genuinely bite, and winters bring more sleet and ice events than Gulf-side Louisiana — the 2021 February freeze was historic.
Recurring Risks
- Spring tornado season — Ark-La-Tex sits at the eastern edge of Tornado Alley with regular EF-1+ events
- Large-hail supercells out of East Texas through Caddo and Bossier parishes
- Historic February 2021 freeze-equivalent ice events stressing flashings and aged sealants
- Sleet and freezing rain — more frequent here than in Gulf-side Louisiana
- Drought-driven extreme heat that accelerates shingle UV degradation
- Straight-line winds and microbursts from severe summer thunderstorms
Shreveport Building Stock
The houses we re-roof here
The Highland and South Highlands historic districts have a high concentration of true Victorian, Queen Anne, and Tudor homes with steep 12/12+ gable roofs, original slate or clay-tile sections, and complex flashing-and-dormer details that demand experienced restoration roofing.
Caddo Parish has unusually tornado-aware building practices for Louisiana — hip roofs and 6-nail patterns are standard spec on newer construction in a way they aren't farther south.
The metro's drought-and-deluge precipitation cycle (long dry spells punctuated by heavy thunderstorm runoff) makes properly sized and sloped gutter systems and intact pipe-vent flashings unusually consequential — undersized or aged systems show up as interior leaks fast.
Common Roof Systems
- Asphalt shingles (dominant residential type across Caddo and Bossier parishes)
- Metal roofing on rural properties and new construction
- TPO and Mod-Bit on commercial flat roofs throughout the Shreveport market
- Clay tile on upscale residential along Pierremont and South Highlands
Where We Work
Shreveport Neighborhoods We Know by Address
Every neighborhood in this market has its own architectural quirks, claim history, and re-roof considerations. Here's where our crews work most.
Highland
Late-1800s to early-1900s Victorians, Queen Annes, and Craftsman bungalows on brick streets — the city's signature historic district. Steep 12/12+ gables and original slate sections demand restoration-grade roofing.
South Highlands / Broadmoor
1920s–40s Tudor Revivals, English cottages, and Colonial Revivals on oak-lined avenues — premium architectural shingle and copper accents.
Spring Lake / Ellerbe Road corridor
1980s–2000s custom homes in south Shreveport — modern hip-roof geometry with steeper pitches.
University Park / Pierremont
Mid-century ranches and split-levels near LSUS — the most common claim profile after spring hail in Caddo Parish.
Provenance
Newer New Urbanist development with traditional Southern architecture and porch-and-front-walk patterns.
Plantation Trace (Bossier Parish)
Newer Acadian and traditional subdivisions on the north side — wind-aware construction with hip roofs and 6-nail patterns standard.
Local Landmarks
We work in the shadow of Shreveport's landmarks

Caddo Lake
Cypress-tupelo lake straddling the Texas-Louisiana line northwest of town.
Strand Theatre

Red River National Wildlife Refuge
Bottomland hardwood refuge along the Red River in Bossier Parish.
Local Reality
Insurance & Permits in Shreveport
Insurance Landscape
The Shreveport-Bossier market is less hurricane-driven than south Louisiana, so the carrier exodus has been milder, but hail and wind are the dominant claim drivers and most carriers now apply a separate wind/hail deductible (often 1–2%) on top of AOP. Louisiana Citizens is available but less commonly used than down south, and the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program grant for FORTIFIED Roof retrofits applies statewide. ACV settlement on roofs older than 10–15 years is increasingly standard.
Permits & Local Code
The City of Shreveport's Department of Property Standards / Building Permits handles permits inside city limits; the City of Bossier City has its own Permits and Inspections department. Unincorporated Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish each have their own permit offices. Work on or near Barksdale AFB requires base contractor credentialing entirely separate from civilian permitting.

FAQ
Roofing FAQ — Shreveport
- Caddo and Bossier parishes sit at the eastern edge of Tornado Alley. The April 2019 outbreak and the November 2022 events were stark reminders that EF-1+ tornadoes track through this metro on a regular basis. We recommend Class IV impact-resistant shingles for any Shreveport-area replacement, and we install ring-shank fastener patterns and enhanced edge metal as standard. After every confirmed tornado, we run damage routes through Highland, South Highlands, Pierremont, and the Bossier subdivisions in the affected track.
- Caddo Parish is the most hail-active corner of Louisiana, and Bossier Parish isn't far behind — supercells rolling east out of Texas drop hail across the metro multiple times per spring. Quarter-size to golf-ball hail is a regular event. Most carriers now apply separate wind/hail deductibles in this market, and ACV settlement on aged roofs is becoming standard. We document slope-by-slope and provide the test-square photography insurers expect.
- Yes. Highland and South Highlands have one of the largest concentrations of true Victorian and Queen Anne homes in Louisiana, and many still have original slate, clay-tile, or pressed-metal sections. Restoration involves matching slate by quarry source where possible, preserving original copper valleys and gutter heads, and weaving in flashing details that respect the architectural intent. We do not steer historic homeowners toward 'just shingle over it' replacements.
- Aged pipe-vent boots, brittle sealants around chimneys and dormers, and step-flashing transitions on pre-1990s installations are the components most likely to carry residual freeze damage. We still find freeze-related failures on routine inspections four years later — quietly producing slow leaks that surface as ceiling stains during heavy thunderstorm runoff. Worth flagging during scoping so the inspector knows to look closely at flashings and boots on aged systems.
- Northwest Louisiana didn't see the same insurer-insolvency exodus as south Louisiana did after the 2020–2021 hurricane seasons — the carrier base here is more stable. State Farm, Allstate, Farm Bureau, and Liberty Mutual remain active. Wind/hail deductibles of 1–2% on top of AOP are now standard, and matching/cosmetic damage exclusions appear on more renewals. Louisiana Citizens is technically available here but less commonly used than in the southern part of the state.
- Yes — the I-20 retail and warehouse corridor is one of the metro's heaviest concentrations of commercial roofing work. Multi-tenant retail centers, quick-service restaurants, big-box retail, and distribution warehouses run TPO and metal as the dominant new-install systems; modified bitumen restoration and silicone-coating recovers are common on the aged inventory. We also work the Port of Caddo-Bossier industrial sites with PVC for chemical-exposure properties and standing-seam metal for warehouse and logistics. Tenant-occupied scheduling and after-hours work are standard scope.
- The 2021 freeze was a once-in-a-generation event, but it exposed how vulnerable Northwest Louisiana roofs can be when temperatures hold below 25°F for several days. Older flashings cracked, sealants failed, and pipe-vent boots split. We inspect for freeze-related damage during routine inspections — and on replacements we install upgraded pipe boots and modern step-flashing that handle expansion-contraction better than the 1990s-era materials common on existing roofs.
- Yes. Beyond Caddo and Bossier proper, we work De Soto, Webster, Sabine, and Red River parishes. Haughton, Stonewall, Mansfield, Minden, Vivian, Blanchard, Greenwood, and Natchitoches are all within our primary service area from the Bossier City office. ZIPs we work daily include 71105, 71106, 71115, 71118, 71119, 71111, 71112, 71006, and 71037.
- Two reasons specific to this market. First, the hail-and-wind reality of Northwest Louisiana puts a premium on impact and uplift performance, which standing-seam metal handles better than standard asphalt. Second, the rural and agricultural surroundings of the metro mean metal is already culturally familiar — barn and farm-building roofs are heavily metal here. We install Galvalume standing-seam, R-panel, and stone-coated steel across new builds and storm-damage replacements.
- Highland is a National Register Historic District and locally protected — material changes on visible roof surfaces can require historic-preservation review. We've worked enough projects in Highland to know which addresses fall inside the protected envelope, what the review process looks like, and how to specify materials that will pass review. Replacing in-kind (slate-to-slate, asphalt-to-asphalt, metal-to-metal) is generally the smoothest path.
- Yes. Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors residential and commercial licensing, full general liability, and workers' compensation on every truck. We're also GAF Certified Contractor (Residential), GAF Gold Elite Contractor (Commercial), Owens Corning Platinum Contractor, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, IKO ROOFPRO Select, IBHS FORTIFIED Certified, and BBB Accredited (A+) — full credentials on our accreditations page.
- We schedule pre-season inspections starting in late January through early March. We look for missing or lifted shingles from the previous season's storms, failed flashing or sealants from the freeze, gutter and downspout integrity (heavy oak-leaf load is a Highland and South Highlands reality), and attic ventilation. Catching issues before April supercells arrive is a lot cheaper than dealing with interior water damage afterward.
