Roof replacement and repair in Metairie, installed for wind and rain

Roofing with Oliver Nola

Your roof takes the hardest hits in South Louisiana: intense sun, heavy rain that arrives sideways, high humidity and the threat of hurricane winds every season. Oliver Nola installs, replaces and repairs roofs in Metairie and the surrounding communities with materials and methods chosen for that climate.

A roof replacement with us starts with a full inspection of the deck, flashing, ventilation and drainage, not just the shingles. Many leaks blamed on shingles actually come from failed flashing at walls, chimneys and vents, or from a deck that has softened under old roofing. Finding those issues early keeps a new roof from inheriting old problems.

We install architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing and low-slope systems for porches and additions. For each one we focus on the details that decide storm performance: correct nailing patterns, sealed starter courses, proper underlayment and flashing that is integrated with the walls and siding instead of simply caulked over.

Ventilation and attic airflow get as much attention as the surface. A roof that cannot breathe traps heat and moisture, which shortens shingle life and can lead to mold on the underside of the deck. We balance intake and exhaust so the system works the way manufacturers intend.

When storms do cause damage, we help homeowners in Metairie, Kenner, Jefferson and Gretna document what happened, make temporary repairs to stop water from entering and plan permanent work. We explain what we find in plain terms so you can make decisions with your insurer, while the claim itself remains between you and your insurance company.

We also look at how the roof connects to the rest of the house. Gutters, soffits, siding and the attic all affect how water and air move, and a roof project is often the right moment to correct a problem in one of those areas instead of leaving it for later.
