Tangipahoa, south of Hammond
Ponchatoula’s downtown is a strawberry-town main street and bungalows, not the SLU grid in Hammond and not Old Covington. The permit is the City of Ponchatoula when the address is in the city. Hammond’s city permits do not cross the line. The parish covers the unincorporated roads between them.
A downtown replacement is usually architectural asphalt if the deck is solid. We look at the eaves first. Humidity softens the fascia on these older houses. Metal is the conversation on houses that already have it.
