Hurricane Ida
September, 2021
On Sunday, August 29th 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall on Louisiana on the same date as Hurricane Katrina. It made landfall as a category 4 hurricane, with winds up to 150 mph. Almost all of the city of New Orleans lost power for several days, however, it has been restored for most of the city. Unfortunately for our neighbors in Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and Plaquemines parish, electricity has still not been restored as of September 10th. Many homes were damaged by the strong winds and there was flooding in many areas. The most common issue is roof damage, tree damage and flooding. Some homes will need to be completely demolished to the foundation. Argyle Construction LLC has experience in remodeling older and new homes. We will work with you to make your home habitable, or even completely renovated.
Summer in New Orleans
Summer 2020
Summer heat in New Orleans can make it uncomfortable to be outside, but you can make it more enjoyable by adding a deck to your home. A deck is an easy way to expand your outdoor living space and get more use out of your back yard. A shady spot under a tree is ideal, but if you don’t have any trees there are many options for shade, from an inexpensive shade sail, cantilevered umbrellas, to a more expensive awning attached to the main home. Decorate it in the same style as your home or go for something totally different.
There are 2 main materials used to make a deck: pressure treated lumber and composite wood, and as with anything there are pros and cons.
Pressure treated lumber - chemicals are applied to lumber to resist termites and fungus
Pros: Cost around $20 per square foot
Easily available
Paint it the color that you want
Cons: Must be repainted/stained every few years
Prone to termite damage
Splinters
Composite wood decking – made of wood fibers enclosed in plastic
Pros: Long lasting, low maintenance
Immune to termite damage
No splinters
Cons: More expensive than regular lumber, around $35-$40 per square foot
Cheaper versions may not look like real lumber
