Serving Woodmere and Jefferson Parish
Woodmere is a planned-development West Bank CDP that emerged during Jefferson Parish's 1970s-1980s expansion period. It shares geography and postal identity with Harvey and Marrero, with the three communities' urbanized areas effectively continuous. Woodmere's street grid, parks, and school siting reflect the master-planned suburban design standards of the era.
Located in Jefferson Parish on the West Bank — approximately 11 miles southwest of downtown New Orleans, between Harvey and Marrero. Key ZIPs: 70072. Joe's Gutters services every neighborhood including Original Woodmere plan, Tallow Tree-adjacent, Brigadoon from our Gretna base.
Why Gutters Matter More in Woodmere Than Almost Anywhere Else
Greater New Orleans receives 62+ inches of rainfall per year — nearly double the 38-inch national average. During hurricane season a single tropical system can deliver 5–10 inches of rain in hours. Your gutters are doing real work in Woodmere — foundation protection, fascia protection, slab protection. Undersized or failing gutters cost you money slowly, year after year.
Woodmere's interior West Bank location gives it some shelter from direct Gulf wind compared to Estelle — but the same 62+ inches of annual rainfall and summer thunderstorm intensity. Proper pitch and outlet sizing matter. That's what drives the specific gutter failures we find on Woodmere homes: overflowing undersized systems, corner leaks from cheap miter-strip construction, fascia rot behind aging gutters, and foundation saturation in the parish's clay-rich soil.
Woodmere Housing Stock — What We Work On
Woodmere's housing stock is tightly clustered in the 1970s-1990s construction era — heavy on brick ranch, split-level, and two-story traditional with slab-on-grade foundations. These homes are now deep into their second-replacement cycle for gutters, meaning homeowners are typically replacing a 1990s-era aluminum system rather than the original 1970s system. Fascia damage from the first system's failures is often the real issue.
Our Services in Woodmere
Woodmere is on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish — a corridor that catches every Gulf storm track, sits inside the post-Katrina hurricane levee system, and runs heavy on 1960s-1980s housing stock that's now well into its second-replacement cycle for gutters and fascia. Below is what Joe's handles for Woodmere homeowners.
Seamless Aluminum Gutter Installation
For Woodmere homes, every installation starts with 6-inch K-style gutters custom-formed on-site from Spectra Gutter Systems and Senox premium coil stock — a single continuous piece per run, no mid-run seams. Hand-mitered corners are sealed with Clemlink-Duralink rather than miter strips, which fail in Louisiana's heat cycle within 2–4 years. Neoprene washer screws sit at 30-inch hanger spacing — tighter than the 36-inch code minimum. With 30+ color options, a manufacturer's warranty (available directly from the manufacturer), and our 2-year workmanship warranty on labor, you get a system that performs over the long haul. A single-story Woodmere home generally takes 3–6 hours; a two-story home takes a full day.
Gutter Repair & Maintenance
Common repair calls in Woodmere include corner leaks, sagging sections, separated hangers, failed sealant, gutters pulling away from fascia, storm damage, and blocked or damaged downspouts. Our approach is straightforward: find the root cause and address it, rather than patching the surface. If repair makes sense, we repair. If replacement is the better long-term value, we will tell you. Every assessment is itemized in writing, emailed, and texted. Storm damage gets priority scheduling during the active hurricane season, with insurance documentation included at no charge.
Leaf Guards & Gutter Protection
Live oaks, pines, cypress, sweet gums, magnolias, and Spanish moss shed across Woodmere year-round — a gutter cleaned in March can be packed by May. Our micro-mesh aluminum guards are designed for Louisiana-grade debris loads while still handling 62+ inches of annual rainfall. We match the guard to your specific roof and tree situation rather than offering one product across every property. Foam and brush insert products are off the table — in Louisiana's climate, they actually trap debris inside the gutter.
Professional Gutter Cleaning
Cleaning includes complete debris removal from every run by hand and tool, full downspout flushing, and a free damage inspection with a written report on anything we find — fascia rot, failing corners, partial blockages. Most Woodmere homes need 2–3 cleanings per year; homes under mature live oaks often need 3–4. The most important cleaning of every year is the pre-hurricane round in late May, before June 1. Book it before the first named storm forms, not after.
Custom Aluminum Patio Covers
Most Woodmere homeowners choose between two configurations: flat pan panels at $12–20 per square foot (a 24×15 cover runs approximately $4,300–$7,200) or insulated thermal-break panels at $26–60 per square foot (a 12×16 runs $5,000–$11,500). Six factory-baked-enamel colors are available — White, Ivory, Wicker, Clay, Bronze, and Black. Every cover is built for Louisiana heat, humidity, and hurricane-season wind loads. Attached covers require a parish building permit; we provide drawings and support the submission.
Aluminum Screen Rooms & Enclosures
An aluminum frame paired with fiberglass screen mesh creates a mosquito-free outdoor space in a region consistently ranked among the worst in America for mosquito activity. New-build on slab, patio cover conversions, and porch enclosures are all in scope across Woodmere. Mesh options include a standard 18×16 screen, 20/20 no-see-um for coastal parishes, pet-resistant mesh, and solar screen. Most projects fall between $8,000 and $25,000+, depending on scope and whether a new slab is needed.
Aluminum Carports
Hurricane-zone wind-load engineered carports for vehicles, boats, RVs, and equipment across Woodmere. Single-vehicle structures start at $5,500–$10,000 basic, with two-vehicle, boat-and-trailer (sized to your exact rig), and oversized configurations available. Post profiles are heavier than what contractors use in lower-risk states, and knee bracing is added at post-to-beam connections on larger structures. Post footings go below Louisiana's active clay layer — not the minimum depth that works in drier climates.
Aluminum Awnings
Built from the same aluminum coil system as our patio covers — same engineering, smaller footprint. Installed over front doors, side entries, garage entries, windows, and back porches across Woodmere. Six baked-enamel colors. 20+ year lifespan with just occasional washing. We don't install fabric or retractable awnings — aluminum only — because fabric deteriorates in Louisiana in a single season. Residential only; we don't take commercial awning projects.

Why Homeowners Choose Joe's Gutters
Woodmere sits inside the post-Katrina hurricane levee but takes every Gulf rainfall event the region produces. Five construction details separate a Joe's Gutters install from a typical one in Woodmere — these are what decide whether a gutter lasts 25+ years or fails inside 5.
1. Corner detail:
Hand-mitered, sealed with Clemlink-Duralink.
Standard alternative: pre-formed miter strip with caulk.
Failure mode of the alternative: caulk degradation in the Louisiana heat cycle within 2–4 years, leading to fascia and wall water damage.
Outcome of our method:
permanent corner seal.
2. Fastener spec:
neoprene washer screws on every attachment.
Standard alternative: sheet metal screws, no washer. Failure mode of the alternative: water entry at every screw location, with eventual rust staining, fascia rot, and interior leakage.
Outcome of our method:
watertight at every attachment point.
3. Hanger spacing spec:
30 inches on-center, often tighter.
Code minimum: 36 inches. Loading conditions: Woodmere rainfall volumes plus hurricane-zone wind loads.
Outcome of our method: the gutter stays mechanically secured to the fascia under storm-condition loading.
4. Gutter profile spec:
6-inch K-style, custom-formed on-site.
Standard alternative: 5-inch K-style.
Capacity:
5-inch = 1.2 gal/ft; 6-inch = 2.0 gal/ft (67% increase).
Local rainfall:
62+ inches/year vs. 38-inch national average.
Outcome of our method: capacity sized correctly for actual local conditions.
5. Project structure:
Derel Broussard, owner, personally on every job.
Industry-standard alternative:
subcontractor crews with rotating personnel and layered management.
Track record: 25+ years owner-operated.
Outcome of our method: the person who quoted your job is the person who installs it.

Woodmere Gutter FAQs
Do you serve Woodmere?
Yes — Woodmere is part of Joe's Gutters' regular service area (West Bank Service Area). We travel there from our Gretna base across Jefferson Parish daily. Estimate visits are typically available within 2–4 business days, same-day or next-day for storm response.
What size gutter do you install?
6-inch K-style as standard. The 5-inch profile is badly undersized for Greater New Orleans' 62+ inches of annual rainfall — a 6-inch carries 67% more water per foot, and that capacity difference decides how a Woodmere system performs during a real storm.
Why are corners on my newer gutters already leaking?
Miter-strip construction with cheap caulk is the most likely cause. Louisiana's heat cycle wears that caulk through within 2–4 years, and corner joints fail first. Hand-mitered corners sealed with Clemlink-Duralink prevent this permanently. If your corners are already leaking, full replacement nearly always makes more sense than re-caulking failed joints.
Do I need permits for gutter work in Jefferson Parish?
Jefferson Parish does not require a building permit for residential gutter installation on one- or two-family dwellings.
Do you support insurance claim documentation?
Yes — and we don't charge for it. You'll get a written damage assessment, photos, and a repair estimate in the format insurers expect. Worth flagging before you file: Louisiana named-storm deductibles can run 2–5% of insured home value. Call us first so we can frame the damage scope against your deductible.
What's the warranty?
On new installations: the manufacturer's warranty (available directly from the manufacturer) plus our 2-year workmanship warranty on labor. Repairs don't carry warranty coverage — the system has pre-existing conditions outside what we installed.
How often should Woodmere homes have their gutters cleaned?
Tree exposure sets the cadence. No significant canopy: once yearly. Moderate trees: twice. Near or under moderately shaded trees: 2–3 times. Mature live oaks above: 3–4 minimum. With proper gutter guards, an annual inspection plus occasional clearing handles it. The pre-hurricane cleaning in late May is the most important cleaning of the year.
Do I have to be home during work?
For installation, no — we just need exterior access. We do prefer someone to be present at the estimate so we can walk the property together. Cleaning on single-story homes with open access can run without anyone home; two-story homes or locked-gate properties need someone available.
