Turnkey Siding installs wood siding across Metairie, from the older homes of Old Metairie and Bucktown to Fontainebleau and Metairie Club Gardens. Wood delivers a warm, natural look with grain no synthetic can copy, takes paint cleanly, and repairs one board at a time. Our licensed in-house crew handles the entire job, and we skip subcontractors, so one accountable team owns your project from start to finish. Call 504-882-9704 for a free estimate.
Wood siding looks warm and classic but is the highest-maintenance option here, needing regular sealing against rot and termites, at roughly $6 to $14 per square foot installed.
Wood Siding for Metairie Homes
Metairie is the largest community in the metro, spread across Jefferson Parish between New Orleans and the lake. Its neighborhoods run a wide range: Old Metairie holds gracious, established homes, Bucktown keeps its close-to-the-lake character, and Fontainebleau and Metairie Club Gardens bring their own settled charm. Wood siding fits that spectrum because it can play traditional on an older home or clean and simple on a mid-century one, always with a genuine grain that vinyl only mimics.
Metairie’s stretch toward the lake keeps humidity high, and that humidity, not salt, is what works on wood here, since Lake Pontchartrain is brackish and the Gulf is well south. The real drivers are moisture, strong UV, heavy rain, and afternoon thunderstorms. We meet them by priming every board on all sides, sealing the cut ends, holding the siding off the ground, and flashing the openings so water sheds. Termites and rot are the local threats that punish shortcuts, so the protection is structural. Hurricane-season wind matters too, and we fasten to the 115 to 160 mph design range. The tradeoff never changes: wood is our highest-maintenance material and needs a regular paint or seal cycle. For a Metairie owner who wants that natural look and board-by-board repairs, it’s a fair deal, and our details make it last.
Metairie Wood Siding Questions
Does being near the lake cause salt damage in Metairie?
No, the lake is brackish and the Gulf is far off, so humidity is the driver. We prime and seal every board so that moisture can’t start rot near Bucktown or the lakefront blocks.
Will I need a permit in Jefferson Parish?
Most Metairie re-siding jobs need a Jefferson Parish permit and inspection, and Old Metairie can add review. We handle the paperwork.
How much upkeep does wood need here?
Plan on a recurring paint or seal cycle. Wood is the highest-maintenance siding we install, but many Metairie owners want its authentic look and easy repairs.
