Commercial Roofing in Haughton and Benton, LA

Haughton, east of Bossier City along Interstate 20, and Benton, the Bossier Parish seat north of Bossier City, have grown steadily as more families settle in Bossier Parish. That growth brings newer retail buildings, medical clinics, churches, schools, storage facilities and service businesses, alongside older metal shops and agricultural buildings. Call (318) 287-8236 and we will connect you with an independent licensed commercial roofing contractor serving Haughton, Benton and the rest of Bossier Parish. We are a referral service and do not do roofing work ourselves.

Newer buildings, early problems

A roof only a few years old can still leak. On newer commercial buildings, common culprits are rushed flashing details, unwelded seam sections, drains set slightly high so water ponds, and damage from other trades working on the roof after it was finished. If a newer roof is under a manufacturer or contractor warranty, contact the warranty holder first; many warranties require the original or an authorized contractor to make repairs. A referred contractor can still inspect and document what is happening.

Self-storage, shops and metal buildings

Along the I-20 corridor through Haughton and the highway routes into Benton, storage facilities and shop buildings often have long runs of metal roofing. Fastener leaks, rusted laps and failing skylight panels are the usual complaints. Coating restoration can make sense when panels are sound, and replacement makes sense when rust has gone through. A contractor can tell you which with a close inspection.

Storm history north of Bossier City

The National Weather Service office in Shreveport lists the April 3, 1999 F4 tornado that tracked through north Shreveport and Benton among the region's notable severe weather events. Storms of that strength are rare, but hail is not. On February 11, 2024, KSLA reported 1.5-inch hail four miles south of Benton, 1-inch hail a mile south of Benton measured by a Weather Service employee, and hail up to 3 inches west of Red Chute, between Bossier City and Haughton. After a significant storm, have edge metal, coping, rooftop units and seams checked even if nothing is leaking yet.

Building movement and roof cracks

Shrink-swell clay exists in parts of northern Louisiana, though a 2021 LSU study ranked Caddo and Bossier among the less vulnerable parishes statewide. When a building settles or shifts, it can show up on the roof as cracked flashings at walls, split membrane over expansion points or separated coping joints. If the same cracks keep returning after repairs, ask whether a structural engineer or foundation specialist should evaluate the building before more money goes into the roof.

Licensing and permits

Louisiana requires an LSLBC commercial license for commercial projects of $50,000 or more. Verify the license number on the LSLBC website. Since August 1, 2025, Louisiana's Act 239 has required permits and inspections for commercial reroofing. Outside incorporated towns, Bossier Parish lists Code Inspections Plus as its building official, with applications through the My Government Online portal. Haughton and Benton may handle permits inside their own limits, so ask the contractor which office applies to your property.
