Serving Kenner, LA and surrounding areas. (504) 618-1502
Advanced Kenner Concrete is a locally owned concrete contractor serving Kenner, LA with driveways, patios, slab foundations, and structural concrete. We handle permits, base prep, and every pour - and our crew has served Jefferson Parish homeowners since our founding on Williams Boulevard.
Kenner homes built in the 1960s and 70s often have driveways that are too narrow for today's vehicles and too thin for the soft delta soil beneath them. Our concrete driveway building service includes proper base compaction and drainage grading - the two steps that determine whether a Kenner driveway lasts five years or thirty.
With Kenner getting over 60 inches of rain a year, a flat, well-graded patio makes your backyard usable instead of a muddy mess after every storm. We build concrete patios that shed water away from your foundation rather than pooling against it - a detail that matters a lot when you live at or near sea level.
Almost every home in Kenner sits on a concrete slab - there are no basements here because the water table is too high. We build properly reinforced slab foundations that account for the soft, shifting delta soil beneath Jefferson Parish properties, using base preparation that resists settling from day one.
Many Kenner homeowners use stamped concrete to upgrade an older driveway or patio surface that is still structurally sound but looks worn. The textured finish also adds grip in wet conditions - useful in a city that sees this much annual rainfall.
Trip hazards on older Kenner sidewalks are common because the soil settles unevenly beneath the slabs over decades. We replace cracked, sunken, or dangerously uneven sidewalk sections with properly prepared concrete that meets current grade and drainage requirements.
Land subsidence is an ongoing reality in Jefferson Parish. When a slab or foundation has dropped and doors are sticking, floors feel uneven, or cracks have opened along the walls, foundation raising can restore the level you need without the cost and disruption of full replacement.
Kenner sits on the Mississippi River deltaic plain - one of the softest, most compressible land types in the United States. The soil beneath most yards is made up of clay and silt deposited by the river over thousands of years. It shifts when it gets wet, compresses under load, and never fully stabilizes the way soil does in most other parts of the country. A concrete slab poured without proper base preparation in this environment will crack, sink, and shift within a few years. That is not bad luck - it is predictable, and a contractor who knows Kenner knows how to account for it.
On top of the soil challenge, Kenner averages around 62 inches of rain per year - nearly double the national average - with most of the city sitting at or near sea level. Drainage slope on every concrete surface is not optional here; it is the single design decision that determines whether water drains away from your foundation or pools against it. Hurricane and tropical storm seasons bring additional stress on older slabs and foundations that have never been properly maintained. Most of Kenner's housing was built between the 1950s and the 1980s, which means a large portion of the city's concrete is now 40 to 70 years old and working through challenges it was not originally built to handle.
Advanced Kenner Concrete is based at 2240 Williams Boulevard - the main commercial corridor running through the center of Kenner - and our crew pulls permits directly from the City of Kenner Permits and Inspections office on every job. We know which inspectors are assigned to which districts and what they look for on a concrete flatwork inspection, so projects move through without the delays that catch out-of-area contractors off guard.
We work across all of Kenner's neighborhoods - from the older brick ranch homes near the Rivertown historic district along the Mississippi River, to the subdivisions built in the 1970s and 80s off Veterans Memorial Boulevard and the streets near Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The housing stock in each part of the city has its own characteristics, and the soil conditions under properties close to the river differ from those further north. We factor those differences into how we prepare the base on every job.
Our work extends beyond Kenner to neighboring communities. If you are in Metairie or anywhere else across the east bank of Jefferson Parish, we are familiar with the permit offices, soil conditions, and housing stock there as well.
Reach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within 1 business day and schedule a free on-site visit at a time that works for you. No commitment required at this stage.
We come to your property, assess the existing surface, soil conditions, and drainage situation, and give you a written itemized quote. You will know exactly what is included before agreeing to anything. Questions about cost are welcome at this stage - we would rather talk through them now than have surprises later.
We handle the City of Kenner permit application before any work begins. Once the permit is approved, you get a confirmed start date. Permit processing typically adds a few business days, and we factor that into the schedule upfront.
Demolition, base preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing happen in the sequence your project requires. We keep you informed as work progresses and leave the site clean when we are done. You get a final walkthrough before we close out.
We serve Kenner homeowners and businesses throughout Jefferson Parish. Reach out today and we will schedule a free on-site visit - no obligation, written quote before any work begins.
(504) 618-1502Kenner is a city in Jefferson Parish on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, directly west of New Orleans along the I-10 corridor. With roughly 66,000 residents packed into about 15 square miles, it is one of Louisiana's most densely populated cities. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is located entirely within Kenner's city limits, making it a hub for both commercial and residential activity. The oldest part of the city is the Rivertown historic district, a stretch of museums, a waterfront, and the original town center along the Mississippi River. Most of the rest of the city is residential neighborhoods developed from the 1950s through the 1990s, with a strong concentration of single-story brick ranch homes on modest-sized lots.
Kenner has a solid rate of owner-occupied housing, and many families have lived in the same home for 20 or more years. The combination of older housing stock, soft delta soil, and high annual rainfall means concrete maintenance and replacement is a recurring reality for most homeowners in the city. We are based here, we work here every week, and we serve not just Kenner but also neighboring communities including Metairie to the east and the broader Jefferson Parish area.
