Chalmette Homeowners Are Ready to Expand.

Chalmette’s housing is predominantly post-Katrina reconstruction — homes built after 2005 with conventional layouts that work but often lack the guest room, home office, or expanded living area that the family needs now. Adding that space permanently, through a well-planned addition, is a significantly better investment than settling for what exists or selling and starting over. We manage home additions in Chalmette with St. Bernard Parish permitting and full project management from planning through completion.

Quality Materials for the Lower Parish.

Chalmette’s coastal position means home additions need to be built with materials that resist the elevated humidity and moisture exposure of the lower St. Bernard corridor. We select framing, roofing, and finish materials accordingly on every addition we complete here.
