Chalmette is St. Bernard Parish's population center — the area still defined by Katrina's 2005 surge and the rebuilding that followed. Most of the residential stock is post-2005 reconstruction: elevated piers, hurricane-strap deck attachment, code-correct flashing on every new build. Older homes that survived the storm carry their own specific repair patterns. Battlefield-adjacent neighborhoods and the Highway 39 corridor make up most of the addresses we work in.
