About the 70139 Area in New Orleans
Neighborhoods Near 70139
Located in Orleans Parish, Louisiana
Local Climate Conditions
New Orleans is one of the most humid cities in the country. Average humidity tops 80% year-round. Hurricane winds can exceed 100 mph. Termites are relentless — they eat wood siding from the inside out. Flooding can soak the bottom rows of siding. Any material installed here needs to handle moisture, wind, and bugs simultaneously.
Housing Near 70139
New Orleans has some of the most distinctive residential architecture in America. Shotgun houses, Creole cottages, raised center-hall homes, and double-gallery houses fill the historic neighborhoods. The Garden District and Uptown have grand Victorian and Italianate homes. Gentilly and Lakeview have mid-century ranches, many rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina. Wood siding — especially original cypress — is a hallmark of the city's homes.
Common Siding Problems We See Near 70139
Best Siding Materials for Homes Near 70139
Fiber cement is the top recommendation for New Orleans because it resists moisture, termites, and wind. In historic districts, it can be milled to match original cypress clapboard profiles. Vinyl is common on post-Katrina rebuilds. Original cypress siding is preserved when possible because it has natural insect and rot resistance.

Cost Estimate Near 70139
For a typical 1,500 sq ft home in New Orleans, Louisiana, plan on about $4,500–$7,000 for basic vinyl, $7,000–$12,000 for mid-range fiber cement, and $12,000–$20,000 for premium materials with a full tear-off and insulation. Your real price depends on your home's size, stories, shape, and the condition of the wood underneath.
Best Season to Start
Drier months are the best time. Moisture during install can get trapped behind the panels.
Expected Timeline
Most siding jobs in New Orleans take 5 to 8 business days for a standard single-family home. Bigger homes, two-story homes, or homes that need a lot of wood repair underneath can take 12 to 16. Bad weather can push it back during the rainy season.

"Found a great siding contractor in New Orleans through this service. They were honest about what my home needed — recommended repair instead of full replacement, which saved us thousands. The work was clean and finished on the day they promised."
Jennifer M. — New Orleans, LA
"Our New Orleans home is on a tricky lot — slope, big trees, hard access. The contractor scoped it accurately and the price didn't change once they started. Other quotes had all kinds of "we'll see" language."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — full re-side projects in most New Orleans jurisdictions require a building permit. Repair-only work on a small wall section may not. A licensed contractor will know exactly what your zip's local code requires and pull the permits on your behalf.
If damage is limited to a few panels and the rest is solid, repair is usually right and can extend life by 5 to 10 years. If problems show up on multiple walls, the siding is over 20 years old, or you have repaired the same areas more than once, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment.
Yes — many of our 70139 area contractors specialize in insurance work. They'll document damage properly, work directly with your adjuster, and ensure code-required upgrades aren't excluded from the claim.
Sometimes — but it's almost never the right call. Overlay traps moisture, hides rot, voids most manufacturer warranties, and adds weight to the wall. A licensed pro will recommend full tear-off in 95 percent of cases and explain why in writing.
In most areas around New Orleans, same-day or next-day availability is typical. During peak storm seasons or busy spring and fall months, wait times may be slightly longer. Requesting a quote early gives you the best selection of available contractors.
