Built for New Orleans Weather

New Orleans homes face tough conditions year-round. Hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, constant humidity, and intense sun all take a toll on exteriors. Materials that last decades elsewhere can fail within years here if they’re not selected and installed correctly.

  • Wood rot: Humidity breaks down wood siding, fences, and trim faster than anywhere else.
  • Metal corrosion: Moisture and salt in the air rust hardware, flashing, and ironwork.
  • Concrete cracking: Our soil shifts and settles, causing driveways and walkways to heave and crack.
  • Paint failure: Trapped moisture causes peeling and bubbling within months of application.

We use materials rated for high humidity and wind resistance. We follow installation methods designed specifically for New Orleans conditions. The result is exterior work that holds up to our weather and protects your home for years.

Our Exterior Construction Services

We offer a full range of exterior services to keep your New Orleans home protected and looking its best. Whether you need repairs after a storm or a complete exterior upgrade, our team has you covered.

Roofing

Your roof is your home’s first defense against storms and water damage. A small leak can quickly turn into mold, rot, and costly interior repairs.

  • Roof repair: Fix leaks, replace missing shingles, and address flashing problems before they get worse.
  • Roof replacement: Complete new roof systems using asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and flat roof materials.
  • Storm damage response: Fast damage assessments, emergency tarping, and permanent repairs with full documentation for your insurance claim.

Siding

Quality siding protects your home from moisture, pests, and temperature extremes. When siding fails, water gets into your walls and causes rot, mold, and structural damage.

  • Vinyl siding: Affordable, low-maintenance option with good moisture resistance.
  • Fiber cement siding: James Hardie products that stand up to New Orleans humidity and high winds. Our top recommendation.
  • Wood siding: Classic look for traditional and historic homes.

For historic New Orleans homes, we match existing siding profiles and materials to preserve your property’s character. We install modern moisture barriers behind the siding to prevent rot without changing the exterior appearance.

Fencing

A well-built fence adds privacy, security, and value to your property. But in New Orleans, fences rot and rust faster than elsewhere. A fence that looks great at installation can start failing within a few years if it’s not built for our conditions.

  • Wood fencing: Traditional or modern designs, treated to resist rot.
  • Metal fencing: Durable and low-maintenance with corrosion-resistant finishes.
  • Privacy fencing: Maximum seclusion with solid panel construction.

Our installations include proper post setting to prevent shifting, corrosion-resistant hardware, and durable finishes. The result is fencing that looks great and lasts.

Ironwork and Gates

Ornamental ironwork is part of what makes New Orleans architecture special. From Garden District railings to French Quarter security gates, quality ironwork adds beauty and value to any property.

  • Iron railings: For porches, balconies, and stairs.
  • Iron balconies: Custom designs that match New Orleans architecture.
  • Security gates: Driveway and courtyard gates for protection and style.
  • Access gates: Pedestrian and side entry gates.

Every piece receives protective coatings to resist corrosion from our humid, salty air. If you have existing ironwork that needs restoration, we repair and refinish pieces while preserving their original design.

Concrete Services

New Orleans soil shifts and settles, which makes concrete work challenging. Improperly poured concrete cracks, heaves, and fails—sometimes within just a few years.

  • Driveways: Poured to handle vehicle weight without cracking.
  • Patios: Outdoor living spaces with proper drainage.
  • Walkways and sidewalks: Graded correctly so water flows away from your foundation.

Proper drainage is part of every project. We grade concrete surfaces so water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling against it.

Exterior Painting

A quality paint job does more than improve your home’s appearance—it seals and protects surfaces from moisture and UV damage. In New Orleans, paint that isn’t applied correctly peels and fades quickly.

  • Surface preparation: Cleaning, scraping, priming, and caulking before any paint goes on.
  • Premium paints: Formulated for high-humidity climates.
  • Thorough application: Proper technique that makes paint last for years, not months.

Demolition Services

When your project starts with removing an old structure or clearing a site, our demolition crew handles the job safely and efficiently.

  • Structure removal: Sheds, outbuildings, and damaged structures.
  • Site clearing: Preparing your property for new construction or landscaping.
  • Debris disposal: Proper removal so your property is left clean and ready.
