What renovating in Slidell means
Slidell is an incorporated city with its own building office, a low elevation and a real storm record. Here is how we plan around it.
Slidell address, parish rules
Some neighborhoods to the south and east carry a Slidell address but sit in unincorporated St. Tammany Parish. For those homes we work with the parish Permits and Inspections office instead of the city.
Low ground, real storm record
Hurricanes are a known threat here, and the city's low elevation makes it more exposed. We plan Slidell jobs around moisture-resistant materials and sound roofing and siding.
The services we bring
Bathroom renovation, drywall installation, demolition and concrete work are the Slidell services we highlight, and our other divisions cover kitchens, roofing, siding and outdoor living.

All about Slidell
All About Slidell, LA
Slidell, a St. Tammany Parish city on Lake Pontchartrain's northeast shore, is the meeting point of Interstates 10, 12 and 59. It began in the early 1880s as a camp for railroad construction and has kept a walkable Olde Towne close to its historic train depot. Officially nicknamed the Camellia City, it has Bayou Bonfouca curving past the old downtown.
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina pushed more than 10 feet of storm surge into sections of Slidell, and a lot of homes here were repaired or rebuilt in the years that followed. That means the homes and buildings we renovate here, from kitchens to exteriors, differ widely in age and condition, so we start by checking what sits behind the walls before planning the rest of the work.
