Flooring Installation & Refinishing services in Chalmette
Almost every home in Chalmette flooded in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and that history shapes the floors here more than the age of the houses. Thousands of homes were gutted and rebuilt, and many were raised or replaced, so the town now mixes rebuilt 1950s and 1960s slab houses with newer homes set higher off the ground. The tile and laminate put down in the years after the storm is often cracked, lifting or simply dated now. A raised home may have a wood subfloor over open air below, and without a good vapor barrier and insulation, damp air from underneath can cup the floor above. Most Chalmette owners ask for floors that can live through water: porcelain tile and waterproof vinyl plank come up most. We also level slabs, replace swollen laminate and refinish the odd wood floor that survived.

Permits and local rules
St. Bernard Parish issues residential permits through its Safety and Permits Division. Replacing floor coverings rarely needs a permit, but subfloor framing or joist work can. We check with the parish for your job first.
