Common roofing problems we resolve in Chalmette:
Hurricane Vulnerability
St. Bernard Parish's low-lying terrain and Gulf proximity make Chalmette particularly vulnerable to hurricane-force winds and storm surge. The parish's geography means properties face full exposure to systems crossing the Gulf.
Post-Storm Deterioration
Many roofs installed during post-Katrina rebuilding are now reaching ages where wear becomes apparent and maintenance is needed. These systems have weathered multiple storm seasons and require inspection to extend service life.
Intense Weather Cycling
Extreme heat, heavy rainfall, and severe storms create thermal and moisture stress that accelerates material fatigue. Chalmette's climate tests roofing materials more aggressively than less exposed regions.
Roofing Services
New Roof Installations
Complete roofing systems for Chalmette homes and businesses, including the many elevated structures built after Katrina throughout St. Bernard Parish. We work with the raised construction common along Judge Perez Drive and throughout rebuilt neighborhoods, using Owens Corning materials suited to coastal exposure.
Storm Damage Repairs
Assessment and repair of hurricane and tropical storm damage for properties throughout Chalmette, Arabi, Meraux, and Violet. Our team responds quickly with emergency tarping to protect homes that have already endured so much from additional water intrusion.
Roof Replacements
Full tear-off and replacement for Chalmette roofs reaching the end of their service life, including many post-Katrina installations now approaching 20 years old. We understand the construction methods used during the parish's rebuilding and can upgrade systems to current standards.
Fortified Roofing
Enhanced systems with sealed roof decks and impact-resistant shingles meeting IBHS standards, a particularly smart investment for St. Bernard Parish properties. Given Chalmette's documented hurricane history, fortified roofing provides meaningful protection while potentially qualifying for insurance discounts.
Multiple Roofing Types
Shingle, slate, asphalt, metal, and flat roofing options suited to Chalmette's mix of rebuilt homes, commercial properties along St. Bernard Highway, and legacy structures that survived the storms. We recommend materials proven to perform in coastal parish conditions.
Insurance Coordination
Documentation and communication with carriers experienced in St. Bernard Parish claims. We understand the specific requirements insurers have for Chalmette properties and provide the detailed assessments needed to support fair claim resolution.
Common gutter problems we resolve in Chalmette:
Drainage Challenges
Chalmette's low elevation means proper gutter function is critical to directing water away from foundations and preventing pooling. Standing water threatens both slab foundations and the elevated structures common since Katrina.
Storm Debris Damage
High winds deposit debris in gutters and can detach or damage sections during severe weather. The open terrain throughout much of St. Bernard Parish means gutters face full wind exposure during storms.
Sediment Accumulation
Fine sediment from heavy rains collects in gutters, reducing capacity and promoting corrosion. This is particularly common in Chalmette where drainage infrastructure works hard during storm events.
Gutter Services
Seamless Gutter Installation
Custom-fitted gutters fabricated on-site for Chalmette properties, including elevated homes where longer downspout runs require careful planning. Seamless construction eliminates leak-prone joints that fail faster in St. Bernard Parish's demanding conditions.
Gutter Repairs
Fixing leaks, reattaching storm-loosened sections, and replacing damaged areas on properties throughout Chalmette and neighboring communities. We address the wear patterns common to gutters that have weathered multiple hurricane seasons.
Downspout Services
Installation, replacement, and repositioning to direct water safely away from foundations in this low-lying parish. For elevated homes common throughout Chalmette, we ensure downspouts handle the extended runs from raised rooflines to grade level.
Storm Damage Repair
Assessment and restoration of gutter systems damaged during tropical weather affecting St. Bernard Parish. We document damage thoroughly for insurance purposes and restore function quickly to protect homes from secondary water intrusion.
Common siding problems we resolve in Chalmette:
Wind-Driven Rain Penetration
Severe storms drive rain horizontally, finding gaps in aging siding and allowing moisture into wall cavities. Chalmette's Gulf exposure means properties face more intense wind-driven rain than inland communities.
Sun and Heat Exposure
Intense summer heat causes expansion, contraction, and UV degradation of siding materials. South and west-facing walls throughout St. Bernard Parish show accelerated wear from relentless sun exposure.
Flying Debris Impact
Hurricanes propel debris that cracks, dents, and punctures siding throughout affected areas. The open terrain common in parts of Chalmette provides little wind break during major storms.
Siding Services
Hardie Board Siding
Durable fiber cement siding that stands up to the wind-driven rain and intense sun exposure common throughout St. Bernard Parish. This material has become a popular choice for Chalmette homes rebuilt since Katrina due to its resilience in coastal conditions.
Vinyl Siding
Cost-effective, low-maintenance option for Chalmette properties, available in colors and styles suited to the parish's mix of rebuilt and legacy homes. Quality vinyl withstands the UV exposure and temperature swings that challenge exterior materials here.
Siding Repairs
Fixing or replacing storm-damaged sections on Chalmette homes, addressing the impact damage and moisture infiltration common after tropical weather. We work to restore protection quickly before underlying structure is affected.
Color Matching
Sourcing materials that blend with existing siding on Chalmette properties where partial repairs are more practical than full replacement. We match the colors and profiles common in the parish's post-Katrina construction.
Complete Re-siding
Full exterior replacement for Chalmette properties where accumulated storm damage or age warrants comprehensive renewal. We upgrade the protective envelope with materials proven in St. Bernard Parish's demanding coastal environment.
