Asphalt shingles are the most widely installed roofing material in the country — and for good reason. They’re versatile, cost-effective, and available in dozens of styles and colors. Lone Wolf Roofing installs quality shingle roofing systems from GAF and Malarkey throughout Metairie, New Orleans, and South Louisiana, built to withstand our region’s wind and rain when installed to FORTIFIED standards. Compare shingles to our other roof types.
The Lone Wolf Roofing team is backed by respected certifications, manufacturer credentials, and industry recognition that reflect our commitment to quality workmanship, proper installation, and customer care.
Asphalt shingles remain the go-to choice for most South Louisiana homeowners because they balance affordability, style flexibility, and reliable performance:
The most budget-friendly option, with a flat, uniform appearance. A solid choice for homeowners prioritizing cost without sacrificing basic protection.
Thicker and more durable than 3-tab shingles, with a layered, dimensional look that mimics the appearance of wood shake or slate. Our most commonly installed shingle type.
Premium shingles built for maximum curb appeal and durability, often used to replicate the look of natural slate or cedar shake at a fraction of the cost and weight.

A standard shingle roof and a FORTIFIED shingle roof can use the same shingles — the difference is in the installation. FORTIFIED methods include sealed roof decks, reinforced edges, and enhanced fastening patterns that dramatically improve how well your shingle roof holds up in hurricane-force winds. As a certified IBHS FORTIFIED Contractor, we can install your shingle roof to this higher standard, which may also qualify you for insurance premium reductions.

We’ve answered some of the most common shingle roofing questions we hear from Metairie homeowners. If you don’t see your question here, give us a call.
Asphalt shingle roofing typically costs $5 to $7 per square foot installed, making it one of the most affordable residential roofing options. Final pricing depends on roof size, pitch, shingle type (3-tab, architectural, or luxury), and whether tear-off of an existing roof is needed. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what your project involves.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 30 years, depending on shingle quality, installation, ventilation, and maintenance. Architectural shingles generally outlast basic 3-tab shingles, and proper attic ventilation can meaningfully extend a shingle roof’s lifespan.
3-tab shingles are flat, uniform, and the most budget-friendly option. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, more durable, and have a layered look that mimics wood shake or slate — they typically cost more but last longer and offer better wind resistance.
Quality shingles from manufacturers like GAF and Malarkey, installed to standard building code, perform reasonably well in South Louisiana storms. For significantly better wind and water resistance, we recommend FORTIFIED installation methods, which we’re certified to provide.
Isolated issues like a few missing or cracked shingles can usually be repaired. Widespread granule loss, curling shingles, multiple leaks, or a roof nearing 20+ years old typically points toward full replacement being the more cost-effective long-term choice. We provide honest inspections either way.
