Metal Roofing in Metairie

Metairie sits in the heart of Jefferson Parish, between Lake Pontchartrain and the city of New Orleans, where homes face the same Gulf Coast threats as their neighbors: hurricanes, heavy rain, intense summer heat, and high humidity. TyMar Exterior installs metal roofing systems chosen to stand up to all of it.

From the established brick ranch and mid-century homes of Old Metairie and Metairie Club Gardens to the newer raised houses near the lakefront in Bucktown, we help homeowners compare standing seam, R-panel, and classic metal shingle systems and choose the roof that fits their home, budget, and long-term protection goals.

Metairie's location is its biggest roofing challenge. The community sits on the Metairie Ridge — a natural levee formed by an ancient branch of the Mississippi River — between Lake Pontchartrain and New Orleans, drained by a network of canals and pump stations that move storm runoff into the lake. Homes here face the full force of Gulf hurricanes and the heavy, sudden downpours that define South Louisiana summers. A roof has to shed water fast and stay sealed when wind drives rain sideways.

Most Metairie homes are single-story brick ranch and mid-century houses — the dominant style across Old Metairie, Elmwood, and neighborhoods along Veterans Boulevard — with raised construction closer to the lake in Bucktown and the Metairie Lakefront area. These broad, simple rooflines are a natural fit for standing seam and R-panel metal systems, while classic metal shingles give older homes a premium look without sacrificing wind and water performance.

For homeowners who plan to stay, metal is often the most practical long-term choice: it resists high winds, won't rot or curl in the humidity, reflects summer heat, and can outlast several asphalt roofs.
