Serving Gretna's Historic Community
As the second-oldest city in Jefferson Parish, Gretna has a rich architectural heritage that requires specialized care. The historic district along Huey P. Long Avenue features beautiful brick buildings dating back to the 19th century. These structures need careful preservation work that respects their original character while addressing modern performance requirements.
We regularly work on older homes and buildings in downtown Gretna that need brick restoration and tuckpointing. The soft brick used in many of these structures requires matching materials and traditional techniques to maintain authenticity. Our masons understand period construction methods and can seamlessly blend repairs with existing work.
Beyond the historic core, we serve residential neighborhoods throughout Gretna including McDonoghville, Terrytown, and areas near the ferry landing. Each neighborhood has its own character and specific masonry needs based on age, construction type, and exposure to weather conditions.
Managing Moisture on the West Bank
Gretna's proximity to the Mississippi River creates unique challenges for masonry structures. The combination of river moisture, high humidity, and frequent rainfall means buildings face constant exposure to water. This makes proper construction details and regular maintenance critical for preventing expensive damage.
Properties near the riverfront and levee are especially vulnerable to moisture issues. We frequently address water intrusion problems in these areas through foundation waterproofing and proper drainage installation. The goal is to direct water away from structures before it can cause damage to foundations, walls, or interior spaces.
Chimney repairs are also common in this climate because the constant moisture accelerates deterioration of brick and mortar. Chimneys are particularly vulnerable since they're fully exposed to weather from all sides. We rebuild and repair chimneys using materials and techniques that stand up to Jefferson Parish's challenging conditions.
