Everything From Cabinets to Structural Wall Removal
Older kitchens around River Ridge often suffer from closed-off floor plans, narrow walkways, and outdated wiring that struggles with modern appliances. We handle full renovations from the studs out. That means removing load-bearing walls, running fresh electrical circuits, updating plumbing lines, and building out custom cabinetry designed for your specific footprint. We fit quartz and granite countertops, lay down durable tile subflooring, install under-cabinet lighting, and set up functional center islands. You get a single experienced crew managing structural framing and finish details from day one.

What a Better Layout Does for Daily Life
A smart layout fixes everyday frustration. Shifting a cooktop away from a main walkway or adding counter space next to the sink immediately changes how the room feels when two people are cooking at once. Deep drawer pulls and modern cabinet hardware replace hard-to-reach corner shelves. Upgrading electrical fixtures eliminates dark spots over work areas while keeping power consumption down. Because local homes deal with heavy humidity year-round, we pick rot-resistant cabinet boxes, sealed stone surfaces, and moisture-rated subflooring that stand up to daily kitchen wear.

11 Years Working in Jefferson Parish Homes
Every house comes with its own quirks - especially in older neighborhoods near the river where floor joists settle and wall framing isn't always plumb. CMC's Contracting pairs solid trade experience with clear, honest project management.
Local Code Familiarity
We know Jefferson Parish building standards, plumbing codes, and parish inspector expectations inside and out.
11 Years in the Field
Hands-on experience framing walls, leveling uneven subfloors, and fitting fine custom carpentry.
Clean Job Sites
We isolate work zones with dust walls and sweep up daily so the rest of your home remains clean.
Direct Communication
You speak directly with the tradespeople running your job, not a call center dispatcher.
How the Project Moves Forward
A kitchen teardown can feel overwhelming without a realistic schedule. We keep things structured with a clear sequence of steps so you always know who is working in your home and what to expect next.
In-home review and measurements
We visit your home to inspect the existing space, check wall dimensions, note utility connections, and discuss what needs fixing. We evaluate framing and main electrical panels early so there are no hidden surprises after demo starts.
Material selection and floor plans
You pick door profiles, stone slabs, backsplash tile, sink setups, and fixtures. We draw up precise cabinet dimensions and mechanical layouts, confirming every measurement before placing millwork orders.
Demo, framing, and installation
Our crew handles tear-out, updates rough plumbing and electrical lines, reinforces load-bearing framing, and sets cabinet boxes. Countertop fabricators measure and install stone surfaces, followed by backsplash tile, trim, and appliances.
Punch list and final walk
We walk through the completed room with you to test doors, drawers, plumbing lines, and light switches. If a door hinge needs fine-tuning or a trim seam needs touching up, we take care of it before signing off.

Answers to Common Questions
How long will my kitchen be torn up?
That depends on the depth of the work. Surface upgrades like swapping counter slabs, painting cabinet frames, and placing new tile backsplashes usually take two to three weeks. A full structural teardown involving wall removal, utility relocation, and custom cabinet installation takes six to ten weeks. We establish a firm calendar before starting so you can plan accordingly.
How do you calculate job estimates?
Pricing reflects total square footage, structural modifications, utility relocations, and material selections. Structural changes like dropping a load-bearing wall or shifting gas supply lines add labor compared to standard pull-and-replace jobs. Solid wood cabinetry, rare stone slabs, or complex tile patterns also affect material totals. We itemize everything upfront during planning so you see where your funds go.
What cabinet and countertop options can I choose from?
We install custom solid wood cabinets in classic Shaker or clean flat-panel styles, featuring soft-close hardware and tailored pull-out organizers. For counter surfaces, options include durable engineered quartz, natural granite slabs, marble, and butcher block sections. Backsplash choices range from standard subway tile to hand-cut designs, complemented by under-cabinet task lighting and commercial-grade sinks.
What happens if something needs adjusting after you finish?
We back our installation work directly. Beyond manufacturer warranties covering hardware, counters, and fixtures, our crew stands behind our labor. If a cabinet door sags slightly after settling or a fixture requires a quick adjustment down the line, contact us and we will come back out to make it right.
Do you work in my neighborhood?
Yes. Based locally, we serve River Ridge alongside nearby Jefferson Parish communities including Harahan, Metairie, and Kenner. Whether your property is near Jefferson Highway, Little Farms, or along the river bend, our crew works throughout the immediate area daily.
How should I prepare before demo day?
Empty all cabinets, drawers, and pantry shelves completely into labeled storage tubs before work starts. Setting up a temporary kitchen area in an adjoining room with a microwave, toaster, mini-fridge, and coffee maker helps preserve your routine. Our team sets up plastic dust walls and floor protection film to keep construction debris out of your living quarters.
Can we move lines, sinks, or gas supply to change the layout?
Yes. Changing floor plans is a routine part of our structural work. If an interior wall blocks natural light or closes off your living room, we check load points and install engineered header beams to open the space safely. Our team handles moving drain lines, extending gas pipes, setting up dedicated electrical circuits, and re-routing ductwork to fit new island sinks or relocated ranges.
Who handles parish permits and inspections?
We handle code filings and permit paperwork directly with Jefferson Parish building departments. Our crew submits structural plans, schedules mandatory rough plumbing and electrical inspections, and coordinates final walk-throughs so all work complies fully with parish residential building codes and flood elevation guidelines.
