Rivertown
The historic district by the levee. Older wood, deeper eaves, and trim profiles that take hand work instead of a spray gun.

What changes here
Painting in Kenner
Kenner runs from the Mississippi levee at Rivertown north to the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline, and those two ends of town do not dry at the same rate.
On the water
A canal, a levee or a lakefront behind the house holds humidity at ground level. Two ends of one street can be ready to coat at different hours, so the order of the day matters more than the size of the crew.
On the ground
Where we work in Kenner
Most of our Kenner work sits in four pockets, and each one asks for something different.
Chateau Estates
The north end of this one reaches Lake Pontchartrain. Overnight moisture off the water is the thing that decides the start time here.
University City
Mid-century brick and siding mixes, where the siding and the trim are usually on completely different repaint clocks.
Holly Heights
Compact lots and close-set houses, so shaded elevations stay damp longer into the morning than the sunny side does.
Conditions
What Kenner does to a paint job
Four things that change the work here, and what each one means for the schedule and the price.
The lake sets the clock
Lake Pontchartrain is brackish, not salt, so nothing on this side of Kenner is fighting corrosion whatever the damage looks like. It is moisture. Overnight humidity coming off the water holds long enough that on some mornings the genuinely usable coating window is two or three hours shorter than the forecast for the day would lead you to expect.
North walls mildew first
Least sun, most moisture. That elevation is where film failure turns up first, every time, and it is a prep and product question, not a pressure washing one.
Storm season is a hard edge
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Exterior work planned for that stretch gets sequenced so that no elevation is ever left open and uncoated while something is being watched out in the Gulf.
Two clocks on one house
A Kenner house often carries stucco, painted brick and aluminum siding at once. Those do not come due together.

Why the quote says two
A coat and a job are different things
Painting a house here is a different job from painting one in a dry climate. Humidity changes how long a coat stays open, and it decides how much film you need on a wall before the weather starts taking it back.
First coat
Bond and coverage
The first coat is doing a different job from the second. It bonds to what is underneath and it tells us where the substrate is still drinking, which is information you only get once paint is actually on the wall.
Second coat
Color and film build
The second coat is where the color goes true and the film reaches the thickness printed on the tin. One coat over a sound wall looks fine from the driveway and looks thin on the north side by spring.

Questions we get asked
Before you book the estimate in Kenner
The first four are about Kenner itself. The rest come up on almost every estimate, wherever the job is.

View more FAQsWhen is the best time of year to paint a house in Kenner?
Late autumn through spring. The dew point sits lower then, so surfaces clear the margin earlier in the day and the workable window is at its widest. Summer is perfectly workable too, it simply means earlier starts and more days where we prep in the morning and coat in the afternoon once the wall has come up to temperature.
How often will I need to repaint in Kenner?
It depends what the surface is. Stucco and aluminum siding come around every 5 to 6 years. Painted brick holds 15 to 20. A house carrying more than one of those needs a plan per surface, not a single repaint date for the whole building.
Do you work on the older houses in Rivertown?
Yes. Older stock near the levee usually needs hand scraping, spot priming and brush work on the trim profiles, all of which takes considerably longer than a newer subdivision house and all of which the estimate says out loud before you agree to anything.
Why does the shaded side of my house always go first?
Less sun means the surface stays damp for longer after every rain and every humid night, and a paint film that never fully dries out is the one that lets mildew in behind it. So we treat that elevation as its own job.
Can you match the paint color already on the walls?
Yes. For most projects our paint specialists can match almost any color on your home from a chip or a wet sample. If an exact match is not possible we will talk you through the next best option.
How often should I paint?
It varies by material and exposure. Stucco every 5 to 6 years. Painted brick 15 to 20 years. Aluminum siding every 5 to 6 years. A wall that takes afternoon sun will always come due first.
Do I need to move furniture before the crew arrives?
No. Our team covers and protects furniture and floors. If a piece is delicate or awkward to move, it is worth taking it out of the room beforehand.
Is the second coat included in the price you quote?
Yes. Every estimate is written for two coats over prepared surface, and the number you get is the number for the finished job. If a surface genuinely only needs one, we say so and the quote comes down instead of staying where it was.
