Absolutely. We have extensive experience renovating historic properties throughout New Orleans, including homes in the Garden District, French Quarter, and other protected areas. We understand historic preservation guidelines, work with the appropriate review boards when necessary, and know how to modernize historic homes while preserving their character and charm.

For New Orleans’ humid climate, we recommend luxury vinyl plank (LVP) for excellent moisture resistance, engineered hardwood over solid hardwood, tile for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, and moisture-barrier treatments under any wood flooring. We help you choose flooring that balances your aesthetic preferences with practical performance in our climate.

Mold prevention is critical in New Orleans. We use mold-resistant drywall in moisture-prone areas, ensure proper ventilation installation, apply moisture barriers where needed, use mold-inhibiting paints and primers, and address any existing moisture issues before renovation begins. We also inspect for hidden mold during demolition and remediate any issues we discover.
