Edward J. Laperouse Metal Works, Inc. has been a cornerstone of the roofing and construction industry since its inception in 1935. Founded by Mr. Edward Laperouse, the company began humbly, with him carrying his tools and ladder through the streets of Houma, Louisiana, taking on small projects before acquiring his first work vehicle. Over the decades, the company has evolved significantly, driven by the needs of a growing community and the challenges presented by hurricane-prone areas in South Louisiana.
Passing management to his son, Jude Laperouse, in 1974 allowed the company to build on its established reputation. Jude's proactive approach led to partnerships with leading manufacturers, enhancing both the quality of materials used and the overall workmanship. His commitment to excellence helped solidify Laperouse Metal Works as a highly reputable commercial contractor, capable of handling both small and large scale roofing projects while also integrating other essential trades.
In 2014, the company was purchased by Brent Talbot and Jessica Richard, who continued to uphold the founding values of quality and integrity. Their mission reflects the original ethos of providing versatile and reliable roofing solutions. Today, Edward J. Laperouse Metal Works is recognized for its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction through honesty, fairness, and outstanding workmanship.
The company's specialization includes a comprehensive range of roofing systems, from standing seam metal roofs to low slope SBS modified bituminous systems. Their extensive experience has positioned them as a trusted partner for numerous schools, banks, hospitals, and civic buildings across Louisiana.
With a workforce that includes employees with decades of experience, Laperouse Metal Works prides itself on safety, effectiveness, and maintaining open communication with clients throughout every project. The legacy of quality construction initiated by Edward Laperouse continues to thrive, showcasing a fundamental respect for craftsmanship and community engagement.
