A Growing Community Where Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas Meet
Bossier City occupies a unique position in Northwest Louisiana—situated on the eastern bank of the Red River, directly across from Shreveport, in the heart of the ArkLaTex region where three states converge. This strategic location has driven the city’s remarkable growth from a population of just 600 in the 1890s to more than 62,000 residents today, earning it recognition as one of Louisiana’s fastest-growing cities.
The story of Bossier City begins in the 1830s when James and Mary Bennett Cane established Elysian Grove Plantation along the Red River at what was then known as Cane’s Landing. Mary Cane, often called the “mother of Bossier City,” was a pioneering businesswoman who recognized the area’s potential as a river crossing and trading hub. By 1850, more than 200 wagons weekly passed through the settlement, with travelers from the Upper South heading west to Texas—many staying to take advantage of the fertile river valley.
The settlement incorporated as Bossier City in 1907, named for Pierre Evariste John Baptiste Bossier, a Louisiana militia general, state senator, and U.S. Representative who played a prominent role in the region’s early development. The discovery of crude oil in 1908 transformed the young city almost overnight, bringing international petroleum companies and spurring rapid economic expansion that put Bossier City on the national map.
A devastating fire on June 23, 1925, destroyed half of downtown Bossier City, causing $100,000 in damage—equivalent to millions today. Rather than breaking the community’s spirit, the tragedy catalyzed major improvements: a modern water system capable of fighting fires, a new city hall, improved infrastructure, and the city’s first park. This resilience and forward-looking attitude continues to define Bossier City today.
The establishment of Barksdale Air Force Base in 1933 fundamentally shaped Bossier City’s identity and economy. Built on land purchased and donated to the U.S. Army by local citizens, the base was named for Lieutenant Eugene Hoy Barksdale, who died testing aircraft during World War I. Today, Barksdale serves as home to the Air Force Global Strike Command and houses more B-52 bombers than any other base in the country. The military presence has created a diverse, transient population that values quality services and reliable contractors who understand the unique needs of military families.
Activities in Bossier City
Modern Bossier City seamlessly blends its historical roots with contemporary growth. The riverfront entertainment district features the Louisiana Boardwalk, a large outdoor shopping and dining destination that draws visitors from across the region. The Horseshoe Bossier City Hotel & Casino and other gaming resorts contribute significantly to the local economy and tax base, helping fund civic improvements like the Brookshire Grocery Arena (formerly CenturyLink Center), which hosts major concerts, rodeos, and sporting events.
For outdoor recreation, Cypress Black Bayou Park and Recreation Area provides residents with fishing, hiking, camping, and water activities on a 1,800-acre preserve. The park’s natural cypress swamp offers a glimpse of Louisiana’s ecological heritage while serving as a popular gathering place for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
Connectivity defines Bossier City’s advantages. Interstate 20 runs east-west through the city, providing direct access to Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth, while Interstate 220 creates a bypass loop around the metropolitan area. This highway infrastructure has attracted distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and service businesses that appreciate easy access to multiple markets.
What sets Bossier City apart is its forward momentum. This is a community actively investing in its future—building new schools, expanding commercial districts, and attracting young families and professionals who appreciate the blend of small-town hospitality with big-city amenities. Property values reflect this growth, with new residential developments appearing regularly throughout the city as demand continues to outpace supply.

Protecting Roofs in Bossier City's Challenging Climate
Bossier City’s humid subtropical climate creates an aggressive environment for roofing systems. With average temperatures in July regularly exceeding 93°F and humidity levels that make it feel even hotter, combined with more than 50 inches of annual rainfall, roofs in our area face relentless stress from both moisture and heat throughout the year.
The spring storm season, typically running from March through June, presents the most significant weather threats. Bossier City sits in an area prone to severe thunderstorms that can produce damaging straight-line winds exceeding 60 mph, large hail, and tornadoes. The city experienced significant tornado damage in December 2015, and severe storms regularly test roofing systems throughout the region. These intense weather events can strip shingles, damage flashing and gutters, puncture roofing membranes, and create entry points for water infiltration that leads to far more expensive interior damage if not addressed quickly.
Hurricane Impacts 200 Miles Inland
While Bossier City sits more than 200 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, hurricane season remains a serious concern. Tropical systems regularly impact our area with torrential rainfall and sustained high winds. Hurricane Laura in 2020 brought widespread wind damage to roofs across Bossier Parish, while Hurricane Delta just weeks later compounded the problems before many repairs could be completed. These back-to-back events demonstrated how quickly storm damage can accumulate and why prompt professional repairs are essential.
Extreme Summer Heat and Thermal Cycling
The intense summer heat creates its own set of challenges for Bossier City roofs. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 90°F causes asphalt shingles to become brittle and deteriorate faster, while thermal cycling—the daily expansion and contraction as temperatures fluctuate between scorching afternoons and cooler nights—stresses roofing materials and can lead to premature failure. Dark-colored roofs absorb even more heat, potentially reducing shingle lifespan by years compared to cooler climates.
Humidity and Moisture-Related Damage
Humidity presents another significant challenge unique to Gulf Coast regions. Bossier City’s consistently high humidity levels, especially during summer months, promote algae and moss growth on shingle roofs, particularly on north-facing slopes that receive less direct sunlight. While primarily aesthetic issues initially, these organisms can trap moisture against the roof surface, accelerating deterioration of the underlying materials. They also indicate conditions conducive to wood rot in roof decking and structural members if moisture penetrates the roofing system.
Oil Boom Era Homes to Modern Subdivisions
The age and diversity of Bossier City’s housing stock adds complexity to roofing challenges. Older homes built during the oil boom era or mid-century may have outdated ventilation systems that don’t meet modern building codes, leading to excessive attic heat buildup and moisture accumulation. These conditions can dramatically shorten roof lifespan while creating ideal environments for mold growth. Many older roofs in established neighborhoods near Barksdale Boulevard were installed before modern wind resistance standards, making them particularly vulnerable to storm damage.
Rapid Growth Construction Challenges
Conversely, Bossier City’s rapid growth means many homes are relatively new, built within the last 10-20 years. While these properties typically feature more advanced roofing systems, they’re not immune to problems. Rapid construction during boom periods sometimes leads to installation shortcuts that don’t become apparent until the roof is tested by severe weather. Additionally, many newer homes in subdivisions off Airline Drive and around Benton Road feature complex roof designs with multiple valleys, dormers, and roof penetrations—architectural features that increase potential failure points if not properly flashed and maintained.
Commercial and Entertainment District Roofing
Commercial roofing in Bossier City faces distinct challenges. The entertainment district along the river, retail centers like the Louisiana Boardwalk, and industrial facilities near Barksdale Air Force Base typically feature flat or low-slope roofing systems that require different materials and maintenance approaches than residential pitched roofs. These commercial roofs must withstand ponding water after heavy rains, expansion and contraction of roofing membranes, and the additional stress of rooftop HVAC equipment—all while maintaining watertight integrity to protect valuable inventory and equipment.

Golden Roofing provides complete roofing services designed to address the specific challenges Bossier City properties face. Our approach ensures every roof we install, repair, or maintain delivers protection and performance in Northwest Louisiana’s demanding climate.

Residential Roofing for Homeowners and Military Families
Our residential roofing services cover the full spectrum of homeowner needs. Whether you need a minor repair to address storm damage, a complete roof replacement to protect your investment, or routine maintenance to extend your roof’s lifespan, our experienced team has the expertise to deliver results that last. We work with all major roofing materials, including asphalt architectural shingles, three-tab shingles, metal roofing systems, and specialty materials. As CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicators™ and GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractors, we’re factory-trained and certified to install premium roofing products that come with industry-leading warranties.
We understand that military families stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base often face unique timing constraints and may be purchasing homes sight-unseen when transferring to the area. Our team works efficiently to accommodate PCS schedules, and we provide detailed documentation of roof condition and any work performed—information valuable for resale when orders come for your next duty station. We’ve earned the trust of countless military families by delivering honest assessments, fair pricing, and quality workmanship that protects their homes whether they’re here for three years or thirty.
Commercial Roofing for Bossier’s Business District
Commercial roofing represents a significant portion of our business in Bossier City. From the casinos and entertainment venues along the riverfront to retail centers, office buildings, and industrial facilities, we’ve installed and maintained roofing systems on properties throughout the area. We understand that commercial roof failures mean lost business, damaged inventory, and disrupted operations—costs that far exceed repair expenses. Our commercial services include TPO and EPDM membrane systems, modified bitumen roofing, metal roofing for industrial applications, and specialized coatings that extend roof lifespan while improving energy efficiency.
We schedule commercial projects to minimize disruption to your operations, often working during off-hours or in phases that allow businesses to continue functioning. Our project managers maintain clear communication throughout the process, ensuring you’re never surprised by timelines or scope changes.
24/7 Emergency Response and Storm Damage Repair
Emergency roofing services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week—because storms don’t wait for business hours. When severe weather damages your roof, immediate response prevents minor damage from becoming major problems. Our emergency team can perform temporary repairs to stop active leaks, secure loose or missing shingles, cover damaged areas with tarps, and assess the full extent of damage for insurance claims. We maintain relationships with major insurance carriers and can work directly with adjusters to streamline the claims process, providing detailed documentation and estimates that ensure you receive fair compensation for covered damage.
Professional Roof Inspections and Preventive Maintenance
Roof inspections represent one of our most valuable services, yet many property owners overlook them until problems become obvious—and expensive. We recommend annual professional inspections for all properties, with additional inspections after major weather events. Our thorough inspection process examines all roofing components: shingles or roofing membrane, flashing around chimneys and vent pipes, gutters and downspouts, roof penetrations, attic ventilation, and evidence of moisture intrusion or structural issues. You receive a detailed report documenting findings, including photographs and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.
For homeowners planning to sell, our pre-listing roof inspections provide valuable documentation of roof condition that can prevent surprises during buyer inspections and support asking prices. For property buyers, our inspections offer independent assessment of what may be the most expensive component to replace on a home.
Preventive maintenance programs help commercial property managers and homeowners association boards protect their investments while budgeting predictably for roofing expenses. Our maintenance plans include scheduled inspections, minor repairs, gutter cleaning, and proactive attention to potential problems before they escalate. This approach consistently proves less expensive than reactive repairs while extending overall roof lifespan significantly.
Warranty Protection and Licensed Services
We back every installation with our comprehensive 5-year workmanship warranty, which covers all labor and installation-related issues. This warranty supplements manufacturer warranties on materials, providing complete protection for your investment. Our warranty commitment reflects our confidence in the quality of our work—we’re still here long after the project concludes, standing behind what we install.
All work performed by Golden Roofing complies with current Louisiana building codes and local permit requirements. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination, ensuring projects meet or exceed regulatory standards. Our licensed and insured status protects both our team and your property throughout every project, providing peace of mind that comes from working with legitimate professionals rather than unlicensed contractors who may lack proper credentials or coverage.
Bossier City Property Owners Choose Golden Roofing
For over 30 years, Golden Roofing has earned the trust of Bossier City homeowners, businesses, and property managers by consistently delivering superior roofing services. Our longevity in this competitive market speaks to our commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and honest business practices that put your interests first.
Local Presence You Can Count On
Our location matters. While storm-chasing contractors flood into Louisiana after every major weather event, then disappear just as quickly, Golden Roofing maintains a permanent office right here in the Shreveport-Bossier area. We’re your neighbors, not outsiders looking to make quick profits before moving to the next disaster. When you call us five years after your roof installation with a question or concern, we’re still here to help. This local presence creates accountability that out-of-town contractors simply cannot match.
Elite Certifications and Proven Expertise
Our elite certifications set us apart from typical roofing contractors. GAF Master Elite® status requires meeting stringent standards for business practices, customer satisfaction, ongoing training, and installation quality. Fewer than 3% of roofing companies nationwide qualify for this designation, which provides access to GAF’s best warranties and premium products. Similarly, our CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator™ certification demonstrates factory-approved expertise in installing one of the industry’s most respected roofing product lines. These aren’t just marketing distinctions—they represent documented competency that benefits every customer we serve.
Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects our ethical business practices and commitment to resolving any customer concerns promptly and fairly. We view this rating as a responsibility to maintain, not just an achievement to advertise. When rare issues arise, we address them professionally and make situations right—because our reputation depends on every customer’s satisfaction, not just most of them.
Experience matters in roofing more than almost any other home improvement field. Three decades of installing and repairing roofs means we’ve encountered virtually every problem that can occur and developed proven solutions. We’ve worked through multiple generations of roofing products, witnessing firsthand which materials and installation methods deliver long-term performance versus which create recurring problems. This institutional knowledge benefits every project we undertake.
Family-Owned Values and Customer-First Approach
Our family-owned business model influences how we operate daily. We’re not a corporate franchise following rigid procedures mandated from distant headquarters. We’re local business owners who make decisions based on what’s right for customers and our community, not what maximizes short-term profits. This approach allows flexibility in scheduling, customization of solutions to meet unique needs, and the personal accountability that comes when the owner’s name appears on every proposal and invoice.
Transparent Pricing and Honest Recommendations
Transparency defines our business practices. We provide detailed written estimates that clearly itemize materials, labor, and any additional costs—no vague allowances or surprise charges when the project concludes. Our roofing consultants educate customers about options, explaining the advantages and limitations of different materials and approaches so you can make informed decisions about your property. We never pressure for immediate decisions or use high-pressure sales tactics that manipulate rather than inform.
If our inspection reveals your roof needs only minor repairs rather than full replacement, we tell you that—even though replacement generates far more revenue for us. Building long-term relationships based on trust matters more than maximizing individual transaction values. Many customers who initially called for minor repairs have returned years later when replacement became necessary, specifically because they appreciated our honesty during that first interaction.
Complete Protection Through Proper Licensing and Insurance
Customer satisfaction drives everything we do. From the first phone call through project completion and beyond, we focus on creating positive experiences that exceed expectations. Our production crews treat your property with respect, protecting landscaping, keeping work areas clean, and completing thorough cleanup when work concludes. We understand that inviting contractors onto your property creates disruption and stress—our job is minimizing both while delivering exceptional results.
We’re properly licensed and fully insured with both liability coverage and workers’ compensation for all employees. This protection matters more than many property owners realize. If an uninsured contractor or their worker is injured on your property, you could face significant liability. Our insurance coverage protects both parties, providing peace of mind along with quality roofing.
