St. Bernard Parish’s housing is predominantly post-Katrina construction with conventional slab-on-grade layouts and lot configurations that vary by community. Addition potential depends on the specific parcel — we verify setback and lot coverage requirements with the parish on each property before finalizing a scope. The lower parish’s coastal environment creates specific materials considerations for every addition we build here. We work throughout St. Bernard Parish with a consistent quality standard.

Yes. We serve St. Bernard Parish homeowners with home addition services throughout the parish. We work in Chalmette, Arabi, Meraux, Violet, Poydras, and the surrounding St. Bernard communities.
Home additions in St. Bernard Parish go through the parish’s building department. The process requires submitting permit applications with plans showing the proposed addition, paying applicable permit fees, and passing required inspections at specified construction phases through final completion. The parish issues permits in sequence with inspections — foundation, framing, rough mechanical, and final — and we manage the complete process including scheduling each inspection at the right time. Homeowners don’t need to navigate the building department themselves when they work with us.
Post-Katrina construction throughout the parish — which represents most of the current housing stock — uses conventional slab-on-grade construction with wood framing. These are predictable properties to add onto with no unusual structural complications when the tie-in is properly designed. Older surviving homes present more varied structural conditions, including some pier and beam or raised construction that requires more careful assessment before an addition is designed.
St. Bernard Parish’s coastal position creates elevated humidity and moisture exposure that affects how building materials perform over time. We specify materials rated for this environment as standard practice — quality roofing, moisture-resistant framing details, appropriate vapor barriers, and exterior products designed for coastal conditions. These specifications add modest cost upfront and save significantly in repair and replacement costs over the life of the addition.
