Company History

The founder grew up in New Orleans and has spent more than 15 years building new homes and managing contract labor. Starting with small renovation projects, the practice evolved into a custom home builder that handles design through completion.

Local weather and soil conditions shaped the work: elevated foundations, moisture-resistant materials, and hurricane-ready details are common features in projects. The company learned its methods by working on area homes after seasonal storms and adapting plans for long-term durability.

Leadership

The owner is an experienced custom home builder and a licensed general contractor with 15+ years in new home construction. He remains hands-on on every project, meeting with clients, overseeing schedules, and coordinating subcontractors.

As a New Orleans native and parent, he brings local knowledge about neighborhoods, housing stock, and the practical needs of families. That perspective helps when planning layouts, selecting materials, and scheduling around seasonal weather.
