Roof Inspection in Metairie, LA

Call (504) 800-8196 or fill out the contact form and Big Easy Roofing schedules a same week visit at the Metairie address. If the attic is part of the scope, someone needs to be at the house to unlock the hatch; otherwise the roof is accessed from outside and the written report is emailed after the visit whether you are on site or not.

We do both, and the decision is made at the address. A safe walkable pitch on dry asphalt or standing seam gets walked so we can feel the deck and inspect the seal on every course. A steep pitch, wet surface, moss, tile or slate gets drone-photographed instead. Some Metairie jobs need both.

A typical residential inspection takes 45 to 90 minutes at the address, depending on roof size, pitch, complexity of the flashing runs and whether the attic is accessible from inside the house. A small ranch is closer to 45 minutes. A two-storey with multiple valleys and a chimney is closer to 90.

No. The inspector names defects that are documented in a dated photograph, against a standard inspection checklist. If a defect cannot be photographed cleanly, the report notes the item is inconclusive rather than calling it a fault. If the inspection finds nothing, the report says exactly that.

You receive a written report by email after the visit, with a photograph of every item on the checklist, a defect list with severity and any recommended action. If a repair is needed, the scope is priced separately and you are free to take it to another contractor. The report is yours.

Typically six to twelve months for a Louisiana homeowners carrier and for a manufacturer warranty registration. Every named storm after the inspection date resets the clock, because a wind or hail event means the roof condition has changed. Your carrier may set a shorter window for a specific claim; the report notes the inspection date clearly.

No, as long as we can access the roof from the outside. If the attic is part of the scope, we do need someone at the address to unlock the attic hatch. Many Metairie pre-sale inspections happen with the seller's agent letting us in. The written report is emailed regardless of who is on site.

Yes. A pre-purchase or pre-sale roof inspection follows the same checklist as any other inspection, but the written report is formatted so it can be attached to the closing file or given to a buyer's agent. If the roof is under manufacturer warranty, the report notes the warranty status so the buyer can see it before signing. Available across the full Metairie service area.

Yes. Big Easy Roofing prioritises Metairie inspections after a named storm or a hail event because timing matters for an insurance claim. The written report includes dated photographs of every wind or hail signature we find, which is exactly what a Louisiana carrier wants when the claim is filed.
