Roofing and gutters in Gonzales.

The housing stock in Gonzales

Gonzales is newer than people assume. The median house here was built around 1999, and roughly a third of all housing went up between 2010 and 2019. That means a lot of roofs in town are now hitting the fifteen-to-twenty-five year mark all at once — the window where an asphalt roof stops being new and starts needing attention.

Storms and water in Gonzales

When Hurricane Ida came through in September 2021, the weather station here in Gonzales clocked a 75 mph gust — the highest reading of any site in the Baton Rouge area. The National Weather Service summed up Ascension Parish afterward as numerous homes with minor to moderate damage, “mainly to roofs, carports and other fascia.” That's the kind of storm that lifts tabs and loosens flashing without taking the roof off, and it's exactly the damage people don't find until it rains.

The trees here

The established streets run to live oak and pecan on the higher ground. There's a registered Live Oak Society tree right here in town — the Martin Oak, better than 37 feet around. Beautiful, and a genuine gutter problem every spring when the catkins drop.

How a Gonzales quote works

I come look at it myself. I measure, check what's behind the gutter, look at your roof, and photograph anything I find. That evening you get a written price by text — good for 30 days, and it doesn't change.
