Concrete Contractor services in Chalmette
Chalmette is the seat of St. Bernard Parish, downriver from New Orleans, with a listed elevation of about three feet. Hurricane Katrina put much of it under deep water in 2005 and most buildings were destroyed or gutted. That event still shapes concrete work here. Many houses were rebuilt or raised, while the old driveway, walk and carport slab stayed in place. So you often find a newer house sitting next to cracked, stained concrete from decades ago, or steps and walks that no longer meet the raised floor. Some lots were cleared and now have only a slab left. The streets are flat suburban grids of ranch houses. In Chalmette we replace original flatwork, pour new walks and landings to match raised homes, and remove abandoned slabs.

Permits and local rules
Chalmette is unincorporated, so permits come from St. Bernard Parish Government. The Safety and Permits Division of Community Development processes residential and commercial construction permits and schedules code inspections. Its public page does not list specific rules for driveways or slabs. Because flood elevation rules apply across the parish, the requirement for your job should be confirmed with that division for the address.
