Historic New Orleans roof
Local NOLA Crew

We Take the Danger Out of Old Roofs.

We’re a local crew specializing in one tough job: getting old slate and asbestos tiles off your roof without putting your family or neighbors at risk. Honest work, strict safety, no shortcuts.

Hard work done right

What We Do Every Day

Dealing with hazardous old roofs isn't a side gig for us. It's all we do. Here's how we help homeowners and roofing contractors across the city.

Slate removal in progress

Old Slate Removal & Disposal

Historic Louisiana slate is heavy, sharp, and notoriously difficult to remove safely. We come in, carefully tear off the aging material, and haul the heavy debris away to specialized disposal yards so your new roofers have a perfectly clean deck to work on.

Asbestos safety prep

Asbestos Tile Abatement

A lot of folks don't realize their old synthetic tiles contain asbestos until they try to renovate. We set up the proper EPA-mandated containment zones, wear the right gear, and remove the toxic tiles without letting harmful dust drift into your yard or home.

Nice to meet you

Rooted Right Here on Canal St.

Hi, we're the team behind Slate & Asbestos Tile Removal. Living and working here in New Orleans, we’ve seen too many beautifully historic homes get botched by careless contractors ripping off old roofs and letting debris fly everywhere.

Taking off an old roof isn't just demolition—when you're dealing with aged slate or asbestos, one wrong move can contaminate a whole neighborhood. We built this company to do it the right way.

  • We actually show up when we say we will.
  • We handle the paperwork (EPA rules are no joke).
  • We clean up thoroughly. Your yard stays safe.

Real stories

From the Field

We work quietly, but we’re proud of our messes. Here are a couple of recent jobs.

Garden District Home

The Garden District Slate Recovery

A beautiful 1920s home needed its failing slate roof removed. We set up full scaffolding containment, carefully took down the brittle slate by hand, and hauled away 4 tons of material without dropping a single piece into the client's prized rose bushes. The general contractor said it was the cleanest tear-off they'd ever seen.

Suburban Home Abatement

Asbestos Surprise in Metairie

A young family bought a fixer-upper only to discover the roof underlayment was packed with asbestos. They were panicked about their kids. We mobilized our crew within 48 hours, sealed off the property perimeter, safely abated the entire roof structure, and passed the independent air clearance test with flying colors.

Let's get it done.
