Metairie Roof Pros provides professional gutters & downspouts in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. Gutters get treated as an afterthought bolted on at the end of a roof job. On a documented roof in Jefferson Parish they are not, because of what they attach to. The metal they hang off is a certified component, and that changes the order of the work.
The attachment is the issue. Drip edge is a designated component: on any FORTIFIED reroof it has to be new metal at a minimum of twenty-six gauge galvanized, and its nailing pattern is photographed from four separate areas. A gutter guard screwed down through that drip edge six months later puts fasteners through a component whose condition was certified, and leaf guards and gutters have their own technical bulletin governing exactly this.
So we hang on hidden hangers screwed through the fascia into solid wood, never on spikes and ferrules, and we set the gutter behind an apron so the water leaves the roof onto metal rather than into the fascia's end grain. If a guard is going on, it goes on at the same time and it clips rather than penetrates wherever the profile allows it.
Where the water goes after that is a Metairie question with a Metairie answer. Nearly every house here is slab on grade sitting on soft alluvial ground, and the failure we see is not a flooded yard. It is a downspout emptying twelve inches from the slab edge, month after month, softening the fill under a corner until the slab moves and the framing above it follows.
So we extend outlets past the slab edge and past any walkway, and we prefer three-by-four rectangular downspouts over the standard two-by-three for the simple reason that they take more than double the cross section and clog far less with the live oak and crape myrtle litter that fills gutters here. It is a cheap upgrade at install time and an expensive one to retrofit.
What we will not do is sell you a guard for a gutter that is pitched wrong. Most gutters that overflow in Metairie are not overwhelmed; they are level, or hung low at the outlet end, or full because nobody has been up there since 2019. We will put a level on it and tell you which of those it is, and quite often the answer is a ladder and an afternoon.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — geo-tagged photographs of bare roof sheathing, 8D ring-shank deck nails shot against a tape measure, attic-side nail spacing photographs between consecutive trusses, taped sheathing seams beneath a wide-roll underlayment, twenty-six gauge galvanized drip edge replaced new on every tear-off, self-adhered starter strip bonded to the eave metal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Metairie and nearby communities including New Orleans, Kenner, Marrero, LaPlace.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with geo-tagged photographs of bare roof sheathing, 8D ring-shank deck nails shot against a tape measure, attic-side nail spacing photographs between consecutive trusses, taped sheathing seams beneath a wide-roll underlayment, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Metairie job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Jefferson Parish means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Metairie Chooses Metairie Roof Pros
- ✓We wait for the permit to issue before anything comes off, because Act 422 of 2025 made starting early a licensing violation rather than a scheduling shortcut
- ✓The deck stays open long enough to photograph properly, from above with a tape measure and from inside the attic, so the attachment can be proved later
- ✓You receive the same file the parish receives, organized by address, so the record survives whichever contractor you use next
- ✓We quote the plain reroof and the documented FORTIFIED version side by side, with the evaluator's hold points already written into the schedule
