Roofing Contractor
Broussard, Louisiana

If you need a roofing contractor in Broussard, whether your roof is leaking after last night’s storm, shingles blew off during a hurricane, you’re seeing water stains on your ceiling, or your roof is simply past its lifespan, you need someone who builds roofs for conditions that exist here, not somewhere with milder weather.

Broussard roofs take punishment that roofs in most of the country never face. Hurricane-force winds that peel back shingles and tear off flashing. Afternoon thunderstorms that dump inches of rain in an hour, finding every weak point. Intense UV exposure that degrades materials faster than manufacturers’ estimates suggest. And humidity that traps moisture under roofing materials, accelerating rot and deterioration from the inside out.

We’ve seen what happens when roofing contractors unfamiliar with South Louisiana install roofs using methods that work fine in drier, calmer climates. Four nails per shingle instead of six. Builder-grade three-tab shingles rated for 60 mph winds in a region that sees 100+ mph gusts. Improper flashing around penetrations that leak during wind-driven rain. Ridge vents that let water in during storms. These roofs look fine on installation day. They fail during the first serious weather event.

Aivast Construction is a roofing contractor based in Broussard at 2929 Highway 90 East. Since 2012, we’ve installed, repaired, and replaced roofs throughout the city, in Bayou Tortue Manor, Le Triomphe, Cypress Crossing, Vintage Park, Monjardin, Village at Broussard, Whispering Meadows, Southfield, and established neighborhoods near Arceneaux Park and downtown. After hurricanes Laura, Delta, and Ida, we helped Broussard homeowners recover, with emergency tarping within hours of the storms passing, insurance documentation, and permanent repairs that restored full protection.

We also serve Lafayette and homeowners throughout Acadiana.

What makes roofing work in Broussard:

Hurricane-rated installation, not just hurricane-rated materials. Shingles rated for 130 mph winds still fail if installed with four nails instead of six. We use six-nail patterns, ring-shank nails that resist uplift, and proper starter strips and edge details. The installation method matters as much as what’s printed on the shingle wrapper.

Architectural shingles minimum, no three-tabs. Three-tab shingles are builder-grade products that don’t survive South Louisiana. We install architectural shingles with 130+ mph wind ratings, dimensional profiles that resist wind lift, and longer warranties. For homeowners seeking maximum durability, we install metal roofing, standing-seam, and metal-panel systems that withstand storms that destroy shingle roofs.

Proper underlayment and water barriers. Synthetic underlayment that won’t rot if moisture reaches it. Ice-and-water shield in valleys, along eaves, and around penetrations where leaks are most likely to occur. These layers provide backup protection when wind-driven rain gets under shingles.

Ventilation that works without letting water in. Attics in Broussard can reach 140 degrees or higher in summer without proper ventilation. That heat transfers into living spaces and degrades roofing materials from below. We install ridge and soffit vents that create convection airflow, and use baffled designs to prevent wind-driven rain intrusion during storms.

Flashing details that actually seal. Chimneys, plumbing vents, HVAC penetrations, skylights, every hole in your roof is a potential leak point. Proper flashing with appropriate sealants and step-flashing techniques prevents the leaks that plague roofs with rushed detail work.

Storm damage expertise and insurance coordination. When storms damage your roof, you need emergency response to prevent additional water intrusion, thorough documentation for insurance claims, and permanent repairs that restore full protection. We meet with adjusters, walk them through damage, provide detailed estimates, and advocate for proper repairs when initial assessments fall short.

Whether you need a complete roof replacement in Beldame Estates, storm damage repair in Cypress Meadows, emergency tarping after tonight’s weather, or an honest assessment of whether your aging roof needs replacement or can be repaired, Aivast Construction delivers roofing built for Broussard’s storms, heat, and humidity.
