Metairie Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. Here is the argument this whole company is built on, stated plainly. A wind rating is a property of a product. Uplift performance is a property of an installation. They are not the same claim, and only one of them is about your house.
A Class H laminate is a laboratory result achieved on a test deck, and it stays true whether it ends up on your roof or in a warehouse. It says nothing about whether the sheathing under it is held down by smooth shanks driven in 1958 on a twelve-inch pattern. Rated covering over an unrated deck is the most common configuration in this parish, and it is the one that fails.
Ring-shank nails roughly double the uplift resistance of a deck compared with smooth shanks, which is why the FORTIFIED standard specifies 8D ring shank and why re-nailing is the cheapest structural improvement available to a Metairie house. The state's published prescriptive requirements also call for fifteen thirty-seconds plywood as the minimum on this coast, with seven-sixteenths accepted only when existing panels are being re-nailed rather than replaced.
Edges and corners go before fields do, every time. That is where uplift pressure concentrates, and it is why the standard insists that all drip edge metal on a reroof be new material at a minimum of twenty-six gauge galvanized, and that the starter course be self-adhered or fully bedded in mastic rather than a cut field shingle. A cut starter has no factory sealant, and the roof unzips from the rake.
So we re-nail the deck before we discuss coverings, and we photograph the spacing while it is still visible. Four frames from above with a tape measure, four from inside the attic between consecutive trusses. Once underlayment goes down, nobody can prove any of it without pulling the roof off again, and no product wrapper substitutes for that proof. It is a one-day window.
There is nothing exotic in any of it, and set against the price of the roof none of it is costly. It is simply work that has to happen in a particular order, on a day the deck is open, in front of a camera. Ask a bidder how they intend to demonstrate the deck attachment on your house. The answer tells you what kind of roof you are buying.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing 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
