About
With over 5,000 completed projects across the Greater New Orleans metro, Progressive Roofing & Home Improvements LLC brings decades of field-tested experience to commercial and mixed-use properties throughout New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, and surrounding Louisiana communities. Founded by Chris Matise — whose family roots in Gulf Coast construction trace back to post-Hurricane Betsy rebuilds in 1965 — this fully licensed and insured contractor understands the unique demands that NOLA's hurricane-force winds, intense solar heat, and heavy seasonal rainfall place on commercial roof systems. For facility managers and property owners overseeing flat or low-slope roofs, Progressive offers metal roofing systems engineered for hurricane-wind resistance, reflective roof coatings that reduce cooling loads on warehouses and retail buildings, and repairs across modified bitumen, EPDM, and built-up roofing assemblies common in this region's commercial stock. Their roof coating services are particularly relevant for facility managers seeking a cost-effective alternative to full membrane replacement — sealing existing assemblies against heat gain and moisture intrusion while extending service life. Emergency roof repair response is available for sudden storm damage or active leaks, a critical capability in a market that regularly faces tropical weather events. The team's background with both metal panel systems and low-slope membrane applications makes them a practical option for mixed-use developments, multifamily properties, and smaller office and retail assets across the Greater New Orleans area. Property managers evaluating vendors should note the contractor's emphasis on transparent pricing and flexible scheduling — operational factors that reduce downtime and coordination friction on occupied commercial buildings. While primarily recognized as a residential-and-light-commercial operator, Progressive Roofing's volume of completed projects and regional storm-response experience position them as a viable resource for smaller commercial facilities in the New Orleans market.
