Where We Work
We concentrate our crew and operations across two core parishes so we can stay on schedule, get to jobs quickly, and keep eyes on project quality every single day. Keeping our work footprint focused in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish lets us give every home the daily supervision and attention to detail it actually needs.
Jefferson Parish
Jefferson Parish features a wide mix of suburban subdivisions, lakefront properties, and established residential neighborhoods. We handle residential remodeling across Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Marrero, Harvey, Terrytown, River Ridge, and Harahan. Homeowners out here call us for custom kitchen redesigns, open-concept conversions, bathroom updates, and exterior fixes that hold up against heavy rainfall. Because we work with parish code inspectors week in and week out, we know how to handle setback rules, elevation requirements, and hurricane protection standards without blowing past project deadlines.
Jefferson Parish
Orleans Parish
Working in New Orleans, Uptown, Mid-City, Lakeview, or the Garden District means dealing with old lumber dimensions, settled piers, plaster walls, and historic guidelines. Whether it’s a double-shotgun conversion, a Creole cottage renovation, or an updated Victorian, we know how to modernize plumbing and electrical systems while keeping original trim, transoms, and high ceilings intact. We handle city permitting and historic district paperwork so your home update stays fully compliant while gaining modern comfort.
Orleans ParishWhat to Expect When You Work With Us
Choosing a contractor for a residential upgrade takes trust, clear communication, and proven trade skills. We combine over 11 years of hands-on local construction experience with a straightforward approach to craft durable, comfortable living spaces tailored to your routine.
11 Years of Local Construction Experience
Working in this climate since 2013 has taught us what holds up and what fails over time. We construct room additions, custom kitchens, and master baths specifically designed to resist high humidity, heavy summer storms, and shifting soil conditions.
Direct Access & Clear Communication
Honest communication keeps a renovation on track. From our initial site visit to the final walkthrough, you work directly with your contractor. You get clear line-item proposals upfront, regular progress updates, realistic project timelines, and no unexpected surprises.
High-Quality Materials & Skilled Workmanship
Pretty surface finishes mean little if the subfloor flexes or the shower pan leaks. We install heavy-duty subflooring, advanced waterproofing membranes, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and clean trim so the finished work lasts for years.
Predictable Schedules & Daily Work Routines
Construction disrupts family life, so we focus on tight scheduling, prompt material deliveries, and consistent daily work routines. We keep the job site clean and organized so your project finishes on time without cutting corners.

Common Questions

Call us at 504-329-0791 to confirm scheduling for your neighborhood.
Which towns and parishes fall in your coverage area?
Our primary service footprint covers all communities across Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish. Key areas we serve include New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Terrytown, River Ridge, Harahan, Old Metairie, Mid-City, Lakeview, and the Garden District. If your home sits right along parish lines or in an adjacent community, give us a call at 504-329-0791 or email us at cmcservices.nola@gmail.com. We are happy to review your property address and discuss project availability.
How long will a renovation take?
Timelines depend on the scope of work, structural changes, custom material lead times, and municipal permit processing. A standard bathroom remodel usually takes between two to four weeks from demolition to final punch list. A complete custom kitchen overhaul or multi-room layout change generally ranges from six to twelve weeks. During our initial consultation, we set up a realistic work schedule with specific milestones so you know what work to expect each week until the final walkthrough.
How do high humidity and heavy storms affect the build?
Louisiana’s intense heat, elevated humidity, and coastal weather events require specialized materials and proper moisture barrier installation. We install advanced waterproofing membranes beneath tiled showers, high-grade subflooring, mold-resistant drywall in wet areas, and heavy-duty exterior weather seals. Our 11 years of regional building experience ensures all framing, roofing, window replacements, and exterior doors meet local wind-load requirements and parish building codes for long-term durability.
What is the process to get an estimate?
Getting your renovation started is direct and simple. Contact us by phone at 504-329-0791, send an email to cmcservices.nola@gmail.com, or fill out our quick online contact form. We will schedule an in-person site consultation at your home to evaluate your space, take accurate measurements, and discuss layout ideas. Afterward, we provide a detailed written proposal outlining project scope, material selections, construction schedules, and costs. Upon your approval, we acquire all necessary parish permits, order materials, and schedule our crew to begin work.
Who handles the building permits?
We manage the entire permitting and inspection process on your behalf. Major remodeling projects - including structural beam installations, room additions, electrical service upgrades, gas line relocations, and major plumbing work - require official municipal permits in Jefferson Parish or Orleans Parish. Navigating parish permit departments can be confusing and time-consuming, so we handle all documentation, submit plans to parish building officials, schedule mandatory site inspections, and ensure all construction meets regional safety codes.
Can you keep the historic details while updating an older home?
Yes. Retaining architectural character while modernizing functionality is one of our main specialties. When renovating historic homes in Orleans Parish or established neighborhoods in Jefferson Parish, we carefully protect original trim work, decorative millwork, window casings, and high ceilings. At the same time, we update underlying framing, replace outdated electrical wiring, install modern insulation, and reroute plumbing lines. The result is a space with modern convenience, custom kitchen layouts, and upgraded master baths that still honors your home's original heritage.
Which materials hold up best over time around here?
To withstand daily wear and tear in high-humidity coastal climates, we recommend high-density luxury vinyl plank or porcelain tile flooring, solid wood cabinet construction, quartz or granite counter surfaces, and cementitious backing boards in wet zones. For custom tiled showers, we use high-performance waterproof membrane systems like Schluter-KERDI to prevent hidden moisture leaks behind tiles. We also help you choose durable exterior hardware, composite trim materials, and high-performance paints that require minimal maintenance over the long haul.
