Serving Kenner, LA and surrounding areas. (504) 618-1502
Advanced Kenner Concrete handles patios, driveways, slab foundations, and structural concrete for Metairie, LA homeowners - with permits pulled, drainage graded correctly, and base preparation built for Jefferson Parish's below-sea-level soil. Our crew has served the east bank of Jefferson Parish since our founding.
Metairie backyards that drain poorly become unusable for days after every heavy rain - and this area averages 62 inches of rain a year. Our concrete patio construction service grades every slab to move water away from your foundation, so your outdoor space is dry and usable instead of a mud problem waiting to happen.
A large share of Metairie's driveways were poured during the 1960s and 70s when cars were smaller and concrete standards were different. If yours is from that era and is cracking, sinking, or simply too narrow, we replace it with a properly compacted, reinforced slab built for today's vehicles and Metairie's soil conditions.
Metairie homeowners investing in outdoor living upgrades often choose stamped concrete for patios and pool decks because it adds the look of stone or brick at a fraction of the material cost. The textured surface also performs well in wet conditions - a practical benefit in a community that sees frequent heavy rain.
Metairie is almost entirely slab-on-grade construction - basements are non-existent because the water table is too high. We build slab foundations with the reinforcement and base preparation that the soft, water-saturated soil in this area demands, preventing the settling and cracking that shortens the life of foundations poured without enough prep work.
Pool ownership is common in Metairie, and the decking around an older pool often shows the effects of decades of moisture cycling and soil movement. We replace or repair pool deck concrete with slip-resistant finishes and correct drainage slope so water runs away from the pool coping and surrounding grade.
Grade changes on Metairie properties - even small ones - can direct stormwater toward foundations or neighboring lots when there is nothing to hold the soil in place. Concrete retaining walls create defined, stable boundaries that keep landscaping and drainage where they are supposed to be, even through heavy seasonal rain.
Metairie is built largely below sea level on clay-heavy soil that holds water rather than draining it. The city relies on a network of drainage canals and pumping stations to keep the streets passable after heavy rain. For homeowners, that means standing water in yards after storms is not unusual, and any concrete surface that is not graded to drain quickly will hold water long enough to stain, crack, and deteriorate ahead of schedule. A contractor who does not understand Metairie's drainage environment will pour a flat patio and walk away - leaving you to deal with the pooling problem for years.
The housing stock in Metairie was built almost entirely during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s postwar suburban expansion. That means most homes in the community are now 45 to 75 years old, and the concrete beneath them - driveways, patios, stoops, and slab foundations - is often original or has been patched rather than properly replaced. Metairie homeowners tend to stay in their homes for decades and invest in maintaining them. When concrete finally reaches the point where patches are no longer holding, the right move is full replacement done by a crew that understands Jefferson Parish's soil, drainage, and permit requirements from the ground up.
Metairie is an unincorporated community, which means permits for concrete work go through Jefferson Parish rather than a city government. Our crew pulls permits through the Jefferson Parish Inspection and Code Enforcement office regularly - we know the process, the required documentation, and what the inspectors check on a concrete flatwork review. That familiarity keeps jobs moving without the scheduling delays that catch crews from outside the parish off guard.
The residential streets in Metairie run east to west in a dense grid on both sides of Veterans Memorial Boulevard, with neighborhoods extending from the I-10 corridor north toward Lake Pontchartrain. Homes near the lake tend to have slightly different drainage challenges than those closer to the interstate, and older sections of the community near Metairie Cemetery often feature brick veneer homes that sit on slab foundations poured 50 or more years ago. We have worked across all of these neighborhoods and understand what we are typically walking into before we arrive.
We also work throughout the surrounding area. If you are in New Orleans or anywhere else in the broader metro, we are familiar with the permit processes and soil conditions that shape concrete work across the region.
Call or submit 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 is required at this stage - just a conversation about what you need.
We visit your property, look at the existing surface and soil conditions, assess drainage, and give you a written itemized quote. You will know what base preparation is needed and why - especially relevant in Metairie where drainage grading is often the difference between a slab that holds and one that does not.
We handle the permit application with Jefferson Parish Inspection and Code Enforcement before work begins. Once approved, we confirm your start date. Permit processing adds a few business days and we build that into the timeline from the start.
Demolition, base preparation, forming, pouring, and finishing proceed in the sequence your project requires. We keep you informed throughout and do a final walkthrough with you before closing out. Your site is left clean.
We serve Metairie homeowners throughout Jefferson Parish with free on-site estimates, written quotes, and permitted work. Reach out today and we will schedule a visit - no pressure, no obligations.
(504) 618-1502Metairie is an unincorporated community in Jefferson Parish that borders New Orleans directly to the west. With a population of roughly 140,000 to 150,000, it is one of the largest communities in Louisiana by population, even though it has no city government of its own. Interstate 10 runs straight through the middle of the community, connecting Metairie to downtown New Orleans in about 15 minutes. Most of Metairie's neighborhoods were developed during the 1950s through the 1970s postwar suburban boom - a housing stock now 45 to 75 years old and well into its major maintenance window. Metairie Cemetery, one of the most recognized landmarks in Louisiana for its elaborate above-ground tombs, sits right in the heart of the community along the I-10 corridor. Veterans Memorial Boulevard - known locally as Veterans - is the main commercial street running east to west through the community.
Metairie has a higher rate of owner-occupied housing than neighboring New Orleans, and many families have lived in the same house for 20, 30, or even 40 years. Long-term ownership means deferred maintenance is common, and when concrete finally reaches the point where it needs replacement, homeowners here tend to want it done right rather than done cheap. We serve all of Metairie and also work throughout the neighboring communities including Kenner to the west and New Orleans to the east.
