Protect Your Home from Heat, Humidity & Storms

Here in South Louisiana, we’re no strangers to high humidity, heavy rain, and the occasional hurricane. At SheBuilds Roofing & Construction, we help homeowners throughout Lafayette and Acadiana choose roofing materials that can handle our unique Gulf Coast climate—and still look great doing it.

If you’re replacing your roof, here’s what you need to know about the best roofing materials for hot, humid environments like ours.

Top Roofing Materials for Humid Climates

Not all roofing materials are created equal—especially when it comes to moisture and mold resistance. Here are a few of our top recommendations for homes in Lafayette:

Metal Roofing

Durable, energy-efficient, and moisture-resistant. Metal roofs reflect heat and resist algae growth, making them a smart long-term choice in humid regions.

Architectural Asphalt Shingles

A popular and affordable option. Look for shingles with algae-resistant technology to help prevent streaking and moisture damage over time.

Clay or Concrete Tile

Heavy-duty and long-lasting, these materials hold up well in humid weather. Their natural ventilation properties help regulate heat.

TPO or PVC (Flat Roofs)

Ideal for commercial properties or modern homes with flat roofs, these materials are heat-welded to prevent leaks and withstand standing water.

What to Avoid in Humid Areas

• Wood shakes or untreated shingles – These can absorb moisture and lead to rot or mold over time.
  
• Cheap, low-quality asphalt – Prone to curling, blistering, and algae growth in high humidity.

At SheBuilds, we’ll help you avoid these pitfalls and choose a material that lasts.
