Stucco Siding in Chalmette, St. Bernard Parish
Chalmette carries a story most of the metro knows well. St. Bernard Parish took some of the worst flooding during Katrina, and the homes that came back were rebuilt with hard lessons about water and elevation baked in. That mindset shapes how we approach stucco here. Because this is a downriver community where the flood line matters, we keep the stucco finish above grade with clean detailing at the base, so the wall is never wicking moisture up from the ground during a wet season.
Stucco is seamless and cement-based, which suits the newer construction across Arabi and Old Arabi, but the humidity and heavy rain in this parish mean the drainage plane behind it is not optional. Trap water back there and it has nowhere to go. The soft delta soil under these neighborhoods also settles over time, so our crew reinforces the openings and sets control joints to keep hairline cracks from spreading as a house moves. Near the Chalmette Battlefield area, where lots run close together, a durable stucco exterior gives owners a low-upkeep finish that stands up to the storm seasons this community has already weathered more than once.
