Metairie Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. Three different things get called a roof inspection around here, and confusing them costs people money. It is worth separating them before you pay for any of them, because two of the three are not inspections at all in the ordinary sense.
The first is the parish photo record. Jefferson Parish requires no on-site inspection for a residential re-roofing permit and accepts geo-tagged photographs by email instead. Nobody from the parish climbs your ladder. That is not a criticism of the parish; it is a fact about who is actually looking, and the answer is your contractor, photographing his own work. Worth knowing before you assume somebody official has checked it.
The second is a FORTIFIED Evaluator's current conditions report, written before a reroof by an independent third party certified through the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. That person does not work for us and cannot. Their documentation goes to an audit team who can refuse a designation over inadequate photographs, which is precisely why the designation is worth something to an insurer.
The third is what most people actually want: a written condition report for a sale, a renewal letter or a claim. That is what we sell. We walk what is safe, pole-camera the rest, go into the attic, and put remaining service life in years alongside photographs keyed to a slope diagram. Lenders, buyers and adjusters all end up reading the same document, so we write one that answers all three.
Now the part that loses us work. If your roof was replaced in 2019 and is sound, you almost certainly cannot get an Existing Roof designation on it. That path requires four photographs of the sealed roof deck taken before the underlayment and cover went on, and nobody took those. The alternative is closed-cell foam already sprayed at the sheathing joints, or paying a professional engineer for a signed and sealed letter on deck attachment.
For most Metairie houses that arithmetic does not work, and the honest answer is to wait until the roof is genuinely due and do it properly then. We would rather tell you that in year six than sell you an evaluation that ends in a denial. Put the money in an annual inspection and a clean gutter line instead.
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 inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections 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 inspections
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections 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.
Every roof inspections project in Metairie gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
