Arabi is a tight-knit riverfront community just downriver from the French Quarter, where raised cottages and post-war ranches sit on narrow lots under live oaks and pecans. The housing stock here is a mix of older homes that have weathered decades of hurricanes and newer elevated builds along the levee. If your roof is showing its age, we can help.

Homeowners in Arabi (70032) call New Orleans Metal Roofing because we understand the specific challenges of roofing here: wind-driven rain, humidity that breeds mildew, and the occasional falling limb. We are based in New Orleans and serve Arabi and the surrounding areas, and we are fully insured for your protection.

Metal Roofing in Arabi (70032)

Arabi sits on the east bank of the Mississippi, just below the Chalmette Battlefield, and its terrain is flat and low. Many properties here are on raised foundations or slabs, and drainage can be slow after heavy summer storms. The housing mix includes classic shotgun houses, raised bungalows, and newer elevated homes built after recent hurricanes. Roofs here take a beating from wind-driven rain and intense sun, and the humidity means algae and mildew are common on older shingles. Metal roofing is a smart choice because it sheds water quickly, resists wind uplift, and holds up to the sun without deteriorating like asphalt.

Our team has worked on metal roofs throughout Arabi and the greater New Orleans area. We know the local building department requirements for permits and inspections, and we can help you navigate the process. Whether you need a full replacement, a repair, or a retrofit over existing shingles, we have the experience to do it right.

Our services in Arabi

How a Job Works in Arabi

Step 1: We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (504) 636-6074, and we schedule a time to inspect your roof, discuss your options, and provide a written estimate. We will check for leaks, loose fasteners, and any storm damage, and we will explain what we find in plain language.

Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we pull the necessary permits (roofing permits are typically required for replacements in Arabi, and we will verify the current rules with the local building department). Our crew arrives on time, protects your landscaping, and works efficiently. Many Arabi homes have tight lot access, so we plan for that and use equipment that fits the space. If your home is in a historic district or HOA, we can help coordinate the approval process.

Step 3: After the work is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away all debris, and walk the property with you to make sure you are satisfied. We do not consider the job finished until you are happy with the result.

Pricing for metal roofing in Arabi depends on the size and complexity of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam starts at $10 per square foot, and metal roof replacement starts at $9 per square foot. If you are considering a retrofit over existing shingles, that starts at $7 per square foot. Repairs start at $450, and screw replacement and re-fastening starts at $750. We also offer metal roof coating and painting starting at $2.50 per square foot. For a free estimate tailored to your Arabi home, call us at (504) 636-6074.

My Arabi cottage has a low-pitched roof and original 5V crimp metal. Can you match the profile when replacing it?
Yes, we can often match or closely approximate existing profiles like 5V crimp. We will inspect your current roof and discuss options that fit the style of your home, including standing seam or corrugated panels. If your home is in a historic area, we can help with design review requirements.
A storm just blew through Arabi and lifted some panels on my roof. How quickly can you respond?
We offer free inspections for storm and wind damage. Call us at (504) 636-6074 to schedule a prompt assessment. We prioritize emergency repairs and can often provide temporary fixes to prevent further water intrusion while we prepare a permanent repair plan.
What is the typical cost for a metal roof replacement on a 1,500 square foot home in Arabi?
For a 1,500 square foot home, a basic metal roof replacement might start around $13,500 (based on $9 per square foot), but the actual price depends on roof complexity, material choice, and whether any decking repairs are needed. We provide free estimates so you can get an accurate number.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Arabi, and can you handle that for me?
Yes, roofing permits are commonly required for replacements in Arabi. We will verify the current requirements with the local building department and can pull the permit for you as part of our service. Fees and inspection requirements vary, so we make sure everything is in order before we start.
My neighbor's tree hangs over my property line and drops limbs on my roof. What are my options?
Property line issues can be tricky. In general, you have the right to trim branches that overhang your property, but it is best to check local ordinances and talk with your neighbor first. If a limb has caused damage, we can repair it and document the damage for insurance purposes. We can also install snow guards or additional fasteners to protect against future impacts.
Are you insured for roofing work in Arabi?
Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are happy to provide proof of insurance upon request so you can have peace of mind.
What maintenance does a metal roof need in Arabi's humid climate?
Metal roofs are low maintenance, but in Arabi's humidity, it is a good idea to inspect fasteners and seals annually, especially after storm season. We recommend cleaning debris from valleys and gutters and checking for any loose screws. We offer inspection and maintenance services to keep your roof in top shape.
