Commercial Roof Repairs in Harahan, LA

Low slope single ply, TPO and EPDM, modified bitumen and built up gravel systems, and sloped standing seam and R panel metal. Repairs cover seams, penetrations and curbs, drains and scuppers, parapets, and storm damage. The scope of any repair follows a survey rather than a photograph.

The assembly is different (low slope commercial, sloped covering residential), the code is different (IBC Chapter 15 for commercial under R.S. 37:3737(I)(1) as against the IRC for houses), and the permit route can be different too. On a Harahan-address commercial building the permit is more often Jefferson Parish than City of Harahan, because the commercial belt sits in the unincorporated part of ZIP 70123.

A commercial reroof does, under Louisiana R.S. 37:3737(I)(1). A localised repair usually does not, though the office confirms the position based on the scope. Which office covers a given building depends on whether the address sits inside the Harahan city limits or in the unincorporated part of Jefferson Parish.

The specific address is checked against the City limits rather than against the ZIP. A Harahan mailing address can be in either the City proper or the unincorporated part of Jefferson Parish, because ZIP 70123 covers both. The commercial corridor around Elmwood is almost entirely unincorporated, so most 70123 commercial buildings file with the Parish rather than the City.

International Building Code Chapter 15, as adopted by Louisiana with state amendments. Louisiana is on the 2021 editions. The state statute directing non-dwelling buildings to IBC is R.S. 37:3737(I)(1), added by Act 239 of 2025 and recodified by Act 881 of 2026.

Not on our record. Unlike some Louisiana downtowns, the City of Harahan does not run a preservation review board with an appearance approval rule that would reach a storefront on a commercial reroof. The permit question here is about the boundary between City and Parish, not the visibility of the roof from the street.

The membrane and its age, drainage patterns and where water actually stands, penetration details, and the moisture state of the insulation under the membrane. That last one is what usually decides whether a repair holds. A dry patch over wet insulation is a repair with a date on it.

Usually yes, but the manufacturer requires the repair to be done to its own detailing rules and by an approved installer if the existing system warranty is to stay intact. We work to those requirements where the roof already carries a warranty, and we tell you in writing what the constraints are before the work starts.

A single visit for a scoped defect, longer where an area of wet insulation has to be cut out and replaced before the membrane is restored. The survey names both the duration and the tenant coordination in advance, so a scheduled operation is not surprised by the work.

Priced by the survey rather than by a per-foot figure. Commercial roofing prices swing on assembly and insulation condition more than on the size of the visible failure, so a range that stayed honest across the buildings this covers would be so wide as to be useless.
