Metairie Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in Metairie, LA for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson Parish. Ventilation on this coast is a rain problem before it is an airflow problem. That single reordering changes which vents we will install on your house, and it is why we sometimes replace a vent that is working perfectly well by every other measure.
The reason is written into the standard. FORTIFIED requires every ridge vent, off-ridge vent and intake vent to be manufactured and tested to the TAS 100-A wind-driven rain rating. Not sized correctly. Not baffled. Tested and rated, with the rating legible on the packaging or in the product literature, because the evaluator has to photograph proof of it for each vent type on the roof.
A vent that fails that test does not leak in ordinary weather. It leaks in the four hours of a tropical system when horizontal rain is driven into the ridge, and it deposits that water into insulation where it sits for a week. Homeowners then blame the shingles. The shingles were fine. By then the water is sitting in insulation rather than showing on a ceiling, so it goes unnoticed for years.
Gable vents get their own treatment and it surprises people. A gable vent open to the attic that is not itself rated has to be covered by a fabricated panel installed on permanent hardware, so the cover can go on when a storm is coming and come off afterward. That hardware is part of the roof. The panel is not meant to live up there year-round.
Intake is where we usually find the real deficit on a Metairie ranch. Somebody installed a continuous ridge vent decades after the house was built and never opened the soffit behind the vinyl, so the ridge draws its air out of the living space below rather than from outdoors. We check that with a light before we quote anything, and cutting the intake open is often the entire fix.
What we will not do is add more exhaust to a roof that already has too much of it. Mixing a ridge vent with powered fans or a row of static cans short-circuits the airflow, pulling makeup air from whichever hole is nearest instead of from the eave line, and on this coast that hands wind-driven rain another doorway. Fewer, rated, properly balanced openings beat more of them.
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 ventilation
The difference between roof ventilation that lasts and roof ventilation 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 ventilation
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof ventilation 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 ventilation 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.
