Eleven years working on South Louisiana houses
We have spent more than eleven years remodeling homes in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish. Older houses around here come with specific quirks - settled concrete slabs, outdated wiring buried in plaster, and framing that has weathered decades of storm seasons. We work directly with homeowners on every project, giving straight answers about what can be saved, what needs replacing, and how long the work will take.
What we do
Every home project brings a different set of challenges. We take on single-room updates, structural repairs, and full-property reconfigurations across the area.
Interior updates
Opening up a closed-off main floor changes how a home feels day to day. We tear out load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls, install engineered support beams, replace old flooring, and update interior lighting. We focus on layouts that make sense for modern routines without sacrificing structural integrity.
Whole-house overhauls
Gut renovations give older properties a complete reset. We strip spaces back to the framing to run fresh supply lines, updated electrical panels, new drywall, and custom trim work. Taking a whole house down to its bones lets us fix hidden rot or wiring issues before laying down new finishes.
Kitchens
A good kitchen rebuild comes down to workflow, durable surfaces, and practical storage. We install custom cabinetry, stone counters, tile backsplashes, and revised island layouts. If your plumbing or gas lines need to shift to make room for a wider range or larger sink, we adjust the utility layout accordingly.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms take heavy daily abuse and need tight moisture protection, especially in humid climates. We build custom curbless showers, set soaking tubs, lay down waterproof tile assemblies, and replace double vanities. Proper backing board and waterproofing membranes come standard on every shower build we touch.
Bedrooms and master suites
Upgrading a bedroom often means expanding closet space, improving sound insulation, or reconfiguring the layout to add a private bathroom. We frame out walk-in closets, install modern lighting, re-trim windows, and lay down quiet flooring to make primary suites more comfortable.
Adding onto your footprint
When you need more square footage but love your location, building out or up is the answer. We frame and build custom room additions, second-story bump-outs, and rear sunrooms. Every addition gets tied directly into your existing foundation, siding, and roofline so it looks like it was part of the original build.

Common questions before hiring a contractor
What's the first step to get started?
Call us at 504-329-0791 or send us an email. We will set up a time to visit your home, review your ideas, check out the current structure, and talk through options. After that, we put together a detailed scope of work and cost breakdown for you to review before any commitments are made.
Are you licensed and insured in Louisiana?
Yes. CMC's Contracting carries full state licensing and liability insurance for residential construction in Louisiana. We secure all required permits in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, making sure every trade installation meets local safety codes and structural regulations.
How long does a whole-house renovation take?
Timing depends on how much structural work is involved and how quickly materials arrive. A targeted room remodel might take three to five weeks, while a major gut renovation can run several months. We lay out a detailed calendar before starting demo so you know what to expect each week.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
For smaller jobs like a single bathroom upgrade or closed-off kitchen remodel, most homeowners stay put. We seal off work zones with plastic barriers and clean up daily to keep dust down. For gut renovations or projects affecting your main water lines and electricity, moving out temporarily is usually much safer and less stressful.
Do you build additions around Metairie?
Yes, we construct custom additions for homeowners throughout Metairie and surrounding areas. We handle the entire build from pouring the foundation footings and framing the walls to matching your exterior siding, roofing, and interior trim so the new space blends seamlessly into your existing structure.
Who pulls permits in Jefferson Parish?
We handle all permit applications and submittals for you. Our team submits architectural plans to the Jefferson Parish code enforcement department, coordinates required trade inspections for electrical and plumbing rough-ins, and makes sure your build gets final sign-off without administrative delays.
How do you deal with our local humidity and subfloors?
South Louisiana moisture requires specific building materials and methods. We use vapor barriers beneath subfloors, mold-resistant drywall in wet areas, rot-resistant exterior trim, and exterior waterproofing membranes. Selecting materials designed for high humidity prevents warping, swelling, and trapped moisture down the road.
What happens if you open a wall and find hidden trouble?
Unforeseen issues like old termite damage, outdated knob-and-tube wiring, or hidden plumbing leaks happen, especially in older homes. When we discover something unexpected, we pause that section of work, show you the issue in person, explain your repair options, and provide a clear price adjustment before proceeding.
