Rivertown
Older wood down by the levee, with deep eaves and trim profiles that take a brush, not a gun. Scraping and spot priming is most of the work here, and the eaves hold moisture long after the face of the wall has dried.

The job here
What exterior painting in Kenner actually involves
An exterior in Kenner is priced by which end of town it sits in. Down by the levee in Rivertown the stock is older wood with deep eaves, and the trim profiles want a brush, not a gun. Out at the north end, where Chateau Estates runs toward Lake Pontchartrain, the constraint is not the woodwork at all. It is the water.
Overnight moisture off the lake holds long enough that on some mornings the usable coating window at the north end of Kenner opens two or three hours later than the forecast implies. The rule itself does not move: the surface has to sit more than 5 degrees above the dew point before anything goes on it. So we measure at the wall, on the day, with a meter. A crew that starts both ends of this town at the same hour has got one of them wrong, and the wall that was coated early is the one that fails first.
The second Kenner problem is that one house is frequently several jobs. Stucco, painted brick and aluminum siding on a single elevation is ordinary here, and those come due at 5 to 6 years, 15 to 20 years and 5 to 6 years respectively. Half a house can genuinely need doing while the other half has most of a decade left in it, which is why we quote by surface, not by building.
North and shaded elevations get looked at separately again. The face that takes the least sun holds the most moisture, and that is reliably where film failure starts, so it wants its own preparation and sometimes its own product, not a heavier coat of whatever is going on the sunny side.
Storm season is a hard edge on the calendar. Between June 1 and November 30 the sequence gets built so no elevation is ever left open and uncoated while something is being watched in the Gulf. That decision is made before the job starts. Not during it.
On the ground
Where we do this work in Kenner
Chateau Estates
The north end reaches Lake Pontchartrain. Overnight moisture off the water decides the start time, and on a summer morning this is where the crew waits longest before the surface finally clears the margin and anything can go on it at all.
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.

View more FAQsWhy does your crew start later on my street than on my neighbor's?
If you are closer to the lake, your wall clears the dew point margin later in the morning than a wall three streets south does. Starting before it does not save a day. It costs one, because the coat goes on under the margin and fails early.
My house has brick and siding. Does it all need painting at once?
Usually not, and this is the commonest way people overspend in Kenner. Painted brick holds 15 to 20 years while aluminum siding and stucco run 5 to 6, so we quote them as separate lines and say plainly which ones can wait.
Can you paint during hurricane season?
Yes, with the work sequenced so no elevation sits open and uncoated over a watch. It is a planning question, not a stop-work one.
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.
