Wood Siding for Westwego’s West Bank
Westwego sits in Jefferson Parish on the West Bank, close to Bayou Segnette, with a history you can still read in its streets. Salaville and the old Sala Avenue market gave the town its character, and the neighborhoods around there hold cottages and older homes where wood siding feels native rather than added on. Toward the Bayou Segnette area, the ground runs low and damp, and a well-detailed wood wall gives these homes a natural, custom face with the practical bonus of board-by-board repairs.
The low, humid setting near the bayou is the main thing wood has to survive in Westwego. Heavy rain, strong UV, and afternoon thunderstorms keep moisture in play, and standing dampness plus untreated wood means rot and termite risk. We keep the bottom course well off the ground, prime all six sides of every board, seal the cut ends, and flash so water sheds instead of pooling. West Bank hurricane wind counts, so we fasten to the 115 to 160 mph design range. The honest caveat holds: wood is our highest-maintenance siding and needs repainting or resealing on a cycle. For a Westwego owner who wants the historic Salaville look and easy repairs over lower-upkeep materials, that trade is worth it, and we build the wall to back it.
Westwego Wood Siding Questions
Does the low ground near Bayou Segnette threaten wood?
It can if the details are careless. We keep the boards well off the ground and seal every side so the bayou humidity can’t start rot or draw termites.
Do I need a permit in Jefferson Parish?
Most Westwego re-siding jobs need a Jefferson Parish permit and inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection for you.
Why choose wood for a historic Salaville home?
Wood matches the period grain and trim these older homes were built with, takes paint well, and repairs one board at a time. Just plan on a regular paint or seal cycle.
