What Whole-Home Renovation Actually Takes Down Here
Taking on an entire house gives you a clean slate without having to pack up and move away from your neighborhood. But older homes in our area come with real structural quirks. Between shifting soil, high humidity, settled foundations, and historic district guidelines, major renovation work requires a contractor who understands what lies behind plaster walls before opening them up. Updating the frame, modernizing plumbing and electrical systems, and upgrading interior finishes at the same time protects your property against local weather for decades.
Why Tackle the Whole House at Once?
Fixing up a home room by room often ends up costing more and drags out the mess for years. Doing it all in a single phase gives your living space a consistent design from front to back. More importantly, it lets us resolve hidden framing issues, upgrade mechanical systems, and install modern moisture barriers before putting up drywall. You get the demolition and noise out of the way all at once instead of living in a perpetual work zone.

11 Years Working on Local Houses
Managing a large residential build requires direct communication, steady trade skills, and practical scheduling. Here is what we bring to every job:
11 Years of Building Experience
Over a decade of hands-on work means we know how to handle out-of-plumb walls, uneven floors, and complex structural repairs.
Local Knowledge
We understand regional soil movement, coastal building codes, and municipal rules in historic neighborhoods.
Solid Workmanship
From subfloor reinforcement and mechanical rough-ins to custom trim work, we maintain high building standards across every phase.
Direct Communication
You work directly with experienced builders who keep you informed on progress, timelines, and next steps.
How We Handle Your Project, Step by Step
A successful build relies on careful planning and organized execution. We guide you through the process so you know what to expect at every stage.
First Visit & Checking the Bones
We meet at your property to walk the space, talk through your goals, and check existing conditions. We evaluate the structural frame, subfloors, and mechanical systems to determine what work is required before cosmetic updates begin.
Plans, Permits, and Material Choices
Once we settle on layout changes, we organize construction plans and help you select durable materials - including hardwood, tile, custom cabinetry, and trim. We handle permit applications with the city and coordinate any required historic board reviews upfront.
Framing, Rough-Ins, and Finishing
Demolition happens first, followed quickly by structural fixes, floor leveling, electrical rewiring, and new plumbing lines. From there, our crews move to insulation, drywall, tile, millwork, and paint, maintaining clean jobsites along the way.
Walkthrough and Punch List
When construction wraps up, we walk every room together to review details, test fixtures, and address final touch-ups. We hand the keys back only when every detail meets our standards and yours.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us Most
How long does a whole-house job take?
Most complete home renovations take four to nine months. The exact timeline depends on home size, structural changes, and whether historic commission reviews are required. Custom millwork orders or specialized materials can add a few weeks. During initial planning, we establish a realistic schedule so you know what milestones are coming.
How do you put together project estimates?
We calculate detailed estimates after assessing your property in person. We evaluate square footage, framing conditions, utility requirements, and your chosen finishes. Detailed cost breakdowns explain material and labor allocations upfront so there are no financial surprises during construction.
Can you match historic trim and custom details?
Yes. If your property is in a historic area, we source trim profiles, casing, and exterior details that match original designs. We combine authentic architectural details with updated insulation, moisture barriers, and energy-efficient windows.
What happens if something needs fixing after we move back in?
We stand behind our construction work. Before wrapping up the project, we review structural guarantees and appliance or fixture warranties with you. If an operational issue pops up after you settle back into the home, call us and we will take care of it promptly.
Which neighborhoods do you work in?
We handle residential renovations throughout the metro area, including Uptown, Mid-City, Lakeview, Algiers, Old Metairie, and nearby communities. If you want to confirm service availability for your street, reach out anytime.
Do you handle city permits and HDLC approvals?
Yes. We submit plans to the city building department, schedule required trade inspections, and manage paperwork for historic preservation boards. We handle municipal requirements directly to keep your project moving forward without administrative delays.
Can we stay in the house while construction is happening?
For extensive whole-home jobs involving utility shutoffs, wall removals, and floor replacements across multiple rooms, we recommend staying elsewhere during construction. Vacating the space protects your family from dust, noise, and safety hazards while allowing our crews to work through the layout far more efficiently.
Can you open up the floor plan in an older shotgun or cottage?
Modifying traditional floor plans is a routine part of our work. Older shotguns and cottages often feature closed-off rooms and narrow hallways. We evaluate load-bearing walls, install structural support beams, and reconfigure interiors to create open living spaces while preserving structural safety.
