What changes here
Painting in Gretna
Gretna grew out of three separate river settlements, and you can still see the seams. McDonoghville dates to 1815, Mechanikham to 1836, and the old town has been on the National Register since 1985.
Older stock
Old siding, old millwork and old paint mean most of the day goes into preparation. On an older frontage the finish is only ever as good as what was scraped, filled and primed underneath it.

Where we work in Gretna
Where the work is, and what each part of town is made of.
McDonoghville
Established 1815 and the oldest part of town. Modest houses set back on large lots, with almost no commercial frontage.
Mechanikham
Laid out in 1836 on a surveyed grid, and the part of Gretna built up by German immigrant families.
Along the levee
West bank lots close to the Mississippi, where humidity runs higher through the morning.
