Brick Siding for Chalmette and St. Bernard Parish
Chalmette sits downriver in St. Bernard Parish, a community that rebuilt itself almost wholesale after Katrina. That history left its mark on how homes go up here: above-flood-line detailing, raised foundations, and a real premium on materials that won’t need replacing after the next big storm. Brick veneer speaks to that mindset. It’s fire-resistant, it won’t rot or warp, and pests can’t feed on it, so a St. Bernard home wearing brick stays low-maintenance through hot summers and heavy tropical-storm rain.
Arabi and Old Arabi carry a mix of rebuilt cottages and older survivors, while the neighborhoods near the Chalmette Battlefield lean toward modest, sturdy single-family homes. Brick suits owners who’ve already rebuilt once and don’t want to fuss over their exterior again. It isn’t the cheapest option: brick runs roughly $9 to $18 per square foot installed, well above vinyl, and its weight means the structure has to be ready to carry it. Mortar joints may want repointing over the decades. For a Chalmette homeowner who values permanence after everything this parish has been through, brick is a finish that earns its keep.
