Scheduled, Not Reactive
Booked ahead of the storms and the pollen, not after the leak.
Small problems caught before hurricane season. A scheduled visit, every slope photographed, and a dated record of your roof’s condition to keep.
Roof maintenance is the cheapest roofing work there is. A visit of small fixes each year keeps a sound roof sound, and a written record helps when an insurer asks.
Big Easy Roofing Company maintains roofs across New Orleans on a schedule that suits the house: once a year for most, twice under heavy trees, and a check after any named storm.
A maintenance visit is not a sales call. If something needs more than a small fix, it is written up and priced as a roof repair, and you decide what happens next.
Booked ahead of the storms and the pollen, not after the leak.
Photos and notes from every visit, dated, for your files and your insurer.
Leaves, branches and silt cleared off the roof and out of the gutters.
None of these is urgent on the day. Each gets expensive if it is left for a season.
Wet leaves and moss hold water against shingles and lift their edges.
Blocked gutters overflow into the fascia and down the walls.
Rubber boots split years before the roof wears out, and they cost little to replace early.
Loose edges and tired sealant are fixed in spring for far less than after a storm.
Blocked or damaged vents trap heat in the attic and age the shingles from below.
A lifted shingle or slipped tile is a small fix now and a leak later.
Recognize a few of these? A maintenance visit sorts them in one trip.
Schedule maintenanceEight checks, the same every time, so each year’s report can be read against the last.
Photos of every slope from the same angles each year, so change is easy to see.

Book the first visit and we will suggest a schedule that fits your roof and your trees.
Schedule maintenanceIn this climate the calendar decides what a visit should focus on.
Pollen, oak catkins and spring storms clog gutters and valleys. A spring visit clears them before the summer rain.
Edges, flashing and sealant checked and secured before June, when fixing them costs least.
A look for lifted shingles and debris damage while it is fresh, with photos in case you claim.
Gutters and downspouts made ready for the leaf drop and the winter rains.
Insurers can ask whether a roof was looked after. Dated photos from each visit answer that for you.
A maintenance visit is priced up front for your roof. These five things set it.
Bigger and steeper roofs take longer to walk safely.
Heavy trees mean more debris, fuller gutters and more visits a year.
Once a year, twice, or after storms as well.
Tile and slate are walked more carefully than shingle.
Anything you approve on the day is added at the price agreed then.
You get the visit price before booking, and any fix is agreed before it is made. Want a schedule suggested in writing? Ask through the contact page.
Priced before booking, with a report after every visit.
A gutter clean-up and a maintenance visit can cost about the same. They do not cover the same roof.
Visit A is a made-up composite of what quick clean-up services often leave out. It is not a real quote, and it does not describe any actual company.

Yes. Most of what fails early on a new roof is gutters, sealant and debris, and many manufacturer warranties expect reasonable upkeep.
An inspection looks and reports. A maintenance visit also cleans, tightens and makes small fixes. Both end in a written report.
Only if you want the attic checked or want to approve small fixes in person. Otherwise the report reaches you after the visit.
Yes, in writing, with photos. The repair is priced separately and you decide.
They can. Dated photos show the roof was looked after, which matters if a claim ever asks.
Name and phone are enough. We call back the same business day.
