Laser Cleaning in Gretna, LA
Marine and industrial laser cleaning for Gretna, Harvey and the West Bank, with historic district care for Old Gretna.
Gretna anchors the West Bank, where the Harvey Canal, the river and the Westbank Expressway corridor support shipyards, fabrication, marine services and oil and gas work. It is also home to one of the region's best preserved historic districts. Gulf South Laser serves both sides of that picture from our base in Metairie, across the Crescent City Connection or the Huey P. Long Bridge.
Our founder spent more than 30 years in the marine industry before bringing laser cleaning to the Gulf South, so the needs of yards and vessel operators along the Harvey Canal are familiar ground. Rust, failed coatings and grease come off steel and aluminum in place, with no blast media and no dry-out time.
