Kenner's Housing Stock

Kenner stretches from the historic charm of Rivertown to the lakefront, encompassing a wide variety of residential construction. Each area presents unique opportunities and challenges:

• Rivertown: Historic district with older homes requiring thoughtful renovation that respects the area's character
• Chateau Estates: Established 1970s-80s subdivision with brick ranches ready for kitchen/bath updates and roof replacement
• Driftwood: Family neighborhoods with mid-century homes that benefit from modernization projects
• Vintage Drive Area: Mix of raised slab homes and newer construction with various upgrade opportunities
• Laketown: Lakefront properties requiring wind-resistant roofing and elevated construction techniques

Construction Considerations in Kenner

Kenner homeowners face the same Gulf Coast challenges as the rest of Jefferson Parish—relentless humidity, wind exposure near the lake, and the need for storm-ready construction. Our team addresses these local factors:

• Lakefront wind exposure: Properties near Lake Pontchartrain require roofing systems rated for higher wind speeds
• Humidity management: Proper ventilation and moisture barriers prevent rot, mold, and premature material failure
• Aging infrastructure: Many 1960s-70s homes need electrical panel upgrades, plumbing updates, and HVAC replacement
• Energy efficiency: Insulation upgrades and modern windows reduce cooling costs in our hot Louisiana summers
• Airport proximity: Some areas have specific noise mitigation considerations for window and insulation choices

• Kitchen remodeling: Opening galley kitchens, updating cabinets and countertops, adding islands
• Bathroom renovation: Converting tub/shower combos to walk-in showers, adding double vanities
