Harahan is a small, tight-knit city wedged between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, just west of New Orleans. The tidy brick ranches and low-slung homes along Jefferson Highway and Hickory Avenue mostly went up in the 1950s and 60s, and many still carry their original shingle roofs, now well past their prime in this heat and humidity. If you live near Harahan Playground or the Elmwood industrial corridor, you know how fast a summer storm can push water under a tired roof.
That is why homeowners in Harahan (70123) call New Orleans Metal Roofing. We know the aging shingle roofs here, the low pitches, the tight lots, and the way wind-driven rain sneaks in around chimneys and vents. We are fully insured, local, and we specialize in metal roof replacement and gutters that actually handle our rainfall.
Metal Roofing in Harahan (70123)
Harahan sits on flat ground that drains slowly after a heavy rain, and many of these post-war brick ranches have low-slope roofs that were never designed for today's storm intensity. The original shingles are often brittle, granule-depleted, and prone to wind uplift at the edges. We see a lot of failed fasteners, rusted valleys, and flashing gaps around chimneys and skylights. Because lots are narrow and homes sit close together, access can be tight, and we plan material staging carefully so we do not tear up your lawn or block your neighbor's driveway. The older trees, live oaks and crape myrtles, drop limbs and fill gutters, which is why we often recommend gutter guards or larger downspouts when we install a new metal roof.
Our team has worked throughout Harahan and the surrounding New Orleans area, from the streets near Harahan Elementary to the commercial buildings along Jefferson Highway. We understand the local building stock and the specific ways metal roofing solves problems here: standing seam and corrugated panels shed water fast, resist wind, and reflect summer heat. We also handle the details that matter, like proper underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves, and ventilation, so your new roof performs for decades.

How a Job Works in Harahan
Step 1: You call us at (504) 636-6074 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment at your Harahan property, usually within a day or two. We inspect your existing roof, attic, flashing, and gutters, and we talk through your options, whether that is a repair, a full replacement, or a metal roof over your current shingles. You get a written estimate with clear pricing and no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the required permits with the City of Harahan and schedule the work. On installation day, our crew arrives early, protects your landscaping, and sets up a safe staging area. Because many Harahan lots are tight, we coordinate with you on where to place materials and the dumpster. We remove the old roof, inspect the decking, and install your new metal roof system according to manufacturer specs. If your home is in a historic overlay or HOA, we help you submit the paperwork for color and profile approval.
Step 3: When the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, magnet-sweep for nails, and walk the property with you. We do not leave until you are satisfied and understand how to care for your new roof. We also provide documentation for your insurance company if the work is part of a storm claim.
Pricing for metal roofing in Harahan depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the condition of the decking, access, and the material you choose. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, standing seam from $10 per square foot, and metal roof replacement from $9 per square foot. If you want to go over your existing shingles, that retrofit starts at $7 per square foot, but keep in mind local code limits how many layers you can have. Repairs start at $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts at $750. Gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot. We always provide a free, detailed estimate so you know exactly what your job will cost. Call (504) 636-6074 to schedule yours.
