As Licensed General Contractors for Residential and Commercial construction services, big or small, we provide expert advice to our New Orleans friends and neighbors.
Foundation Repair
The assessment of the home should evaluate a variety of components that must be taken into consideration. Repair work can be done on the foundation piers, sills and/or joists, which can break or become weakened due to exposure to water.
Historic Restorations
Our team of expert craftsmen breathe life back into historic structures. We combine traditional techniques with modern expertise to ensure your heritage endures, restoring beauty and functionality for generations to come.
Construction Framing
Every single house has a frame which gives it its shape and structure. This is fitting together materials (wood or steel) to achieve that. Recently, modern houses have begun to utilize steel framing. But majority of the houses in the market today use wood.
House Leveling
House leveling involves lifting your home back to a level position (similar to when it was first erected). When a house starts to move and shift out of its original position, house leveling is done to get it back to level.

What Our Happy Clients say
Google Review
“Phillipa gave me an estimate on redoing my front stairs. The rail was one long piece on each side and she said we need to put in a middle support to strengthen the rail. They redid the front rails and put in the middle support. She was right! They are stronger and look great. Love their work and would definitely hire them again.“

“I was really pleased with Phillipa, her crew, and the whole experience. Project cost was fair, work was done quickly and thoroughly, when an unforeseen issue popped up the crew worked with me on a low-cost intervention. I’d recommend them and plan to use them again!”
