Metairie Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. A replacement in unincorporated Metairie is decided before the first shingle comes off. Louisiana now requires the work to be permitted and inspected, and Jefferson Parish meets the inspection half with photographs rather than an inspector. That changes your schedule far more than it changes your material list.
Act 239 of the 2025 session made permitting and inspection of reroofing mandatory for projects beginning on or after August 1 that year. Act 422 went further and made starting before the permit issues a licensing violation rather than a paperwork slip. So the permit comes first, every time. The parish charges fifty dollars and applies the 2021 International Residential Code to one and two family dwellings.
Then comes the part most crews have not adjusted to. The parish requires no site visit at all. It takes geo-tagged, time-stamped photographs instead: bare sheathing before anything covers it, underlayment with the nailing pattern and the material packaging visible, drip edge nailing, and the finished cover beside its wrapper with the wind rating noted. Each of those frames has a window that shuts when the next layer goes down.
Which is why we will not run a tear-off and a dry-in in the same afternoon on a house we are documenting. The deck stays open long enough to be measured, shot straight and shot in focus. It costs a few hours of daylight and occasionally a second day. It is the whole difference between a roof you can prove and a roof you merely paid for.
If an IBHS FORTIFIED Roof designation is the goal, the sequence tightens again. Your evaluator writes a current conditions report before anything is touched, and the attic-side spacing photographs have to be taken after the deck is re-nailed and before the sheathing disappears under underlayment. Book the evaluator before you book the crew, never the other way round, because that order cannot be repaired later.
We will price a plain reroof to the code and the permit, then price the documented version beside it with the hold points already written into the schedule, so you can see exactly what the evidence costs. Ask every bidder which of the four required photo sets they take themselves. Someone who has not heard of the geo-tag requirement is telling you something worth knowing.
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 roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement 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
The standards behind roof replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement work we do in Metairie follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
