RSG Roofing Supply Group | Licensed Roofing Services in New Orleans, LA

For our area, we recommend heavy-duty, extra-wide ridge caps made from durable materials like galvanized steel or premium asphalt. These are specifically engineered with a higher wind rating and superior sealing properties to handle the intense storms common in Southeast Louisiana. Our team can help you select the right profile and fastening system for your specific roof type.

Common signs in our humid climate include interior water stains on ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or visible curling or brittleness of the underlayment during an inspection. Persistent moisture can degrade the material. We carry synthetic underlayments that offer superior moisture resistance and durability compared to traditional felt, providing a critical secondary layer of defense for your New Orleans home.

For a proper repair, you'll need the replacement ridge caps or underlayment roll, compatible roofing nails or cap nails, roofing cement or sealant rated for high temperatures, and a sturdy ladder. For underlayment, a sharp utility knife and a chalk line are essential. We stock all these items and can provide a complete checklist based on your project's scope to ensure you have everything for a lasting fix.
