Metairie Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. Half the low-slope work in Metairie is on something that was not part of the original house. A carport enclosed in 1974, a Florida room off the back, a den added over a slab. These roofs age on their own clock and fail before the main field does.
They also sit in a permit blind spot worth understanding. The parish re-roofing permit is triggered when fifty percent or more of the roof covering is replaced. A flat addition roof measured against the whole house often falls under that threshold, so the job that most needs a record generates none. We pull a permit anyway where the scope calls for it and photograph the work either way.
On the material side, we specify sixty-mil reinforced TPO heat-welded at the laps, or a two-ply SBS modified bitumen carrying a granulated cap sheet, where foot traffic and hot equipment are in play. Both outperform the rolled roofing that is on most of these additions now, which is the single most common covering we take off in this parish. Neither survives standing water indefinitely, which brings us to the part specific to this parish.
Metairie drains by pump, not by gravity, and a low-slope roof here should be built so that a blocked drain announces itself before it becomes a ceiling. That means an overflow scupper set above the primary outlet, sized and placed so water runs out of a visible hole in the wall rather than ponding quietly. If you ever see it running, you have a blockage, and you found out from the outside.
Slope gets built with tapered polyisocyanurate and crickets behind curbs, not hoped for. A quarter inch per foot is the target and we will tell you when a deck is so far out that reframing beats insulation. Ponding accelerates every failure mode a membrane has, and on a roof this size the taper package is a small share of the total.
Survey timing matters more than people expect. We schedule low-slope inspections for the day after rain wherever possible, because a dry membrane hides its low spots perfectly and a wet one chalks them out for you. If you have a flat roof and a mystery, call us while it is still wet. A survey done on a bone-dry membrane is close to useless.
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 flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope 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
