Fixing Up Older Jefferson Parish Homes
Living near Lake Pontchartrain comes with specific building realities. High humidity, shifting clay soils, and heavy seasonal rain mean interior upgrades need to be built tough. A pretty tile job does not mean much if water leaks underneath it three months later, and custom cabinetry will not last if it is not prepped for local moisture levels. We focus on solid construction first, followed by clean design and clear communication throughout the job.
Our Renovation Services
Whether you are updating a single bathroom or gutting the main floor, we handle the job from teardown to final trim work.
Interior Layouts & Living Spaces
Removing a non-load-bearing wall to open up a dark living room makes a huge difference in how your house feels. We handle drywall repairs, baseboard updates, flooring replacement, and subfloor prep. We also swap out dated light fixtures and rewire older switches so your main living areas feel brighter and function better.
Whole-House Transformations
If your entire home needs work, tackling it room by room can drag out for years. A full house project consolidates framing, plumbing, electrical work, and interior finishes under one timeline. We map out the schedule so sub-trades do not trip over each other, keeping dust down and moving the build along as quickly as possible.
Kitchen Renovations
Kitchens take the heaviest abuse of any room in the house. We rip out old cabinets and replace them with solid wood units built for heavy use, install durable stone countertops, and lay down non-porous tile or resilient flooring. We also adjust plumbing runs for new sinks, move gas lines for ranges, and set up task lighting where you actually cook.
Bathroom Upgrades
Bathrooms in our climate need serious waterproofing. We tear down old fiberglass inserts, replace rotted subfloors, apply cement board with continuous waterproofing membranes, and lay custom tile. From walk-in showers with linear drains to double vanities and updated exhaust fans that actually pull moisture out of the room, we build bathrooms that stay clean and dry.
Bedrooms & Primary Suites
Primary bedrooms should be quiet and organized. We build custom closet shelving to maximize hanging space, add recessed lighting on dimmer switches, install sound-dampening insulation in shared walls, and lay down quiet flooring like engineered hardwood or thick carpet.
Room Additions & Expansions
Moving is expensive and stressful. If you love your neighborhood but need more room, expanding your footprint is often the better route. We pour foundations, tie new framing into your existing roofline, run electrical and HVAC extensions, and finish the interior to match the rest of your house.

Common Questions About Remodeling
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. A basic bathroom update usually takes three to four weeks, while a full kitchen overhaul takes four to eight weeks depending on cabinet lead times. Large additions or whole-house guts can take several months. Weather, parish permit processing, and special-order materials can affect the timeline, but we give you a clear schedule before demolition starts.
How do estimates and project costs work?
We provide a detailed, itemized quote after our initial site visit. It outlines labor, framing materials, plumbing and electrical work, permits, and allowances for finish items like tile or light fixtures. If we open a wall and find dry rot or outdated wiring that needs fixing, we stop and talk to you about the cost before doing the extra work.
Can I pick out my own finishes and layout?
Yes. While we can supply materials through our local suppliers, homeowners frequently choose their own vanity lights, plumbing fixtures, tile, or cabinet hardware. We just ask that materials are on site before construction starts so work is not delayed waiting for shipping.
What kind of support do you provide after the job is done?
Once we complete the final walkthrough and hand over the keys, we remain available if anything needs adjusting. Doors settle, grout lines can need a minor touch-up as things dry, or a cabinet door hinge might need a slight turn. Just give us a call and we will come back out to take care of it.
Do you service my neighborhood in Kenner?
Yes. We service all of Kenner - from neighborhoods near Chateau Estates and along Williams Boulevard to properties down near the lakefront and across Jefferson Parish.
How do Jefferson Parish permits affect the timeline?
Permits are required for structural changes, main electrical updates, and plumbing modifications. Submitting plans and waiting for parish plan reviewers or inspectors takes time, but it protects your property value and ensures safety. We manage all permit filings and schedule inspections directly so you do not have to deal with parish offices.
How do you protect the rest of my house during demo?
Construction creates dust, but we work hard to isolate it. We lay floor protection along walk paths, seal off doorways with heavy plastic dust walls, and run air scrubbers when cutting drywall. We clean up at the end of every workday.
How does local humidity affect material selection?
Louisiana humidity destroys the wrong materials. Fiberboard trim can swell near floors, unsealed wood doors warp, and cheap tile backer rots under moisture. We use cement backer board, mold-resistant drywall in bath zones, moisture barriers over slab foundations, and rot-resistant trim materials that handle humidity without failing.
