How it works
Permits and flood rules for a Harahan flooring job
Before a large renovation, find out what the City needs from you.
- 01
The City's Regulatory Department
Harahan building permits go through the City's Regulatory Department (City Hall is at 6437 Jefferson Highway). Once your application is reviewed, the City emails you an invoice for payment.
- 02
Levees and the 50% rule
The Flood Protection Authority-East maintains 192 miles of levees and floodwalls, and the Greater New Orleans system is built to a 100-year storm standard. On a big remodel or flood repair, FEMA counts floor finishes toward the substantial improvement total, while carpet over existing finished floors may be left out.
Humidity and older Harahan houses
Humid air reaches a wood floor from the room above and from the crawl space or slab below.
Harahan's housing, by age
Census estimates for 2019 to 2023 count 4,471 homes in Harahan, and 3,594 are single-family detached houses. Some 2,748 of them were built between 1950 and 1979. Before you price a new floor in a house that age, ask to see what's under the current one.
Rain inside the levees
The National Weather Service's Hurricane Ida report says heavy rain brought significant street flooding across Jefferson Parish in 2021, and at least a few Harahan homes had minor water intrusion. Choose ground-floor flooring with that kind of shallow water in mind.
Indoor humidity for wood
NWFA's general range for wood floors is 30% to 50% relative humidity, and it notes some climates have a higher ideal range of 45% to 65%. Ask which range a wood product is made for before you buy it.
Under a raised floor
NWFA also says a crawl space without conditioning tends to be cooler and more humid than the rooms over it. We take a moisture reading on the subfloor before wood goes in.
Refinishing original hardwood
If the boards are sound, sanding and a new finish can bring them back. See hardwood floor refinishing.
Free estimates in Harahan and nearby towns
We'll measure and test for moisture, then write a free estimate for materials and labor, whether it's one room or a whole building.
We also serve River Ridge, Metairie, Kenner and Gretna. See all our service areas.
