Wood Siding for LaPlace and the River Parishes
LaPlace sits in St. John the Baptist Parish, part of the River Parishes stretched along Airline Highway and I-10. This community took a hard hit from Hurricane Ida in 2021, and that experience shapes how people here think about their exteriors. Belle Pointe and the homes along the Airline Highway corridor mix established houses with rebuilt and repaired construction, and wood siding gives owners a warm, traditional look with the bonus of simple board-by-board repairs when something needs attention.
Storm resistance leads the conversation here, so we fasten wood to the 115 to 160 mph design range and detail the corners and openings to hold in a blow. Then there’s the everyday climate: high humidity, intense UV, heavy rain, and afternoon thunderstorms that keep moisture in play and make rot and termites genuine risks. We prime all sides of every board, seal the cut ends, and keep the siding up off the ground so it can dry. The honest caveat holds for LaPlace like everywhere else: wood is the highest-maintenance siding we install, and it needs repainting or resealing on a cycle. For owners who want authentic character and repairable walls after a season of storms, that trade makes sense, and we build the details to back it.
