Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Renovation Contractor
in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge has a much wider spread of housing stock than the New Orleans metro, from pre-war homes near downtown to large newer subdivisions.

Renovation in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge covers more ground and more eras than anywhere else we work. Older neighbourhoods near downtown and the university have pre-war homes with the usual age-related questions. Newer subdivisions further out are slab construction where the work is updating.
Because the range is so wide, we do not arrive with an assumption about what your house is. The walkthrough matters more here than anywhere.
Baton Rouge is the far end of our service area, so it is worth calling early to confirm scheduling.
People in Baton Rouge search for a remodeler and for a renovation contractor interchangeably. Whichever word you use, this is the work: bathroom and kitchen remodeling, whole home renovation, and the roofing, siding and drainage that keeps it all dry.

Local Detail
Working in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge covers more ground and more building eras than anywhere else we work, and that changes how we approach a quote. There is no typical Baton Rouge house the way there is a typical Kenner house.
The older neighbourhoods near downtown and the university have pre-war homes with the age-related questions we deal with daily: framing, moisture, plaster, original trim and floors worth restoring rather than replacing.
Mid-century stock across the city is slab construction with original kitchens and bathrooms long past their service life, and closed-off plans that most owners want opened up.
Newer subdivisions further out are straightforward updating work, where almost nothing is wrong structurally and the value is in layout, finishes and storage.
Because that range is so wide, the walkthrough carries more weight here than anywhere else on our patch. We do not arrive with an assumption about what your house is, and we would rather spend longer on site than quote from a template.
Baton Rouge is also the far end of our service area, so it is worth calling early. We will be straight with you about scheduling rather than promising a start date we cannot hold.

Baton Rouge’s Housing Stock: Raised Cottages to Ranch Slabs
Baton Rouge’s older neighbourhoods tell you a lot about how to renovate here. In the Garden District, Spanish Town, and Old Goodwood, most homes went up in the early to mid 1900s. Builders raised them off the ground on piers, partly for airflow under the floor and partly because the clay soil in this part of Louisiana moves. It swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries out. That movement is why so many older Baton Rouge homes have some pier settling by now, even ones that look solid from the street.
Head out toward Southdowns or Sherwood Forest and the housing changes. These neighbourhoods filled in during the postwar boom with brick ranch homes built slab on grade. No crawlspace, no piers. That changes how a kitchen or bathroom remodel gets planned. Plumbing runs through or under the slab instead of hanging in open joist space, so rerouting a line takes more thought than it would in an older raised home.
Before we scope any renovation in Baton Rouge, we start with the foundation type and go from there. A raised 1920s cottage near LSU and a 1960s ranch in Sherwood Forest need different approaches, even for the same kitchen remodel.
What the August 2016 Flood Still Means for Renovation Work Here
In August 2016, the Baton Rouge area saw a flood that had nothing to do with a hurricane. Days of rain overwhelmed the drainage system and put water into thousands of homes that had never flooded before, including plenty outside the mapped flood zones. That event changed how a lot of local homeowners think about renovation. Ground floor material choices, where mechanical equipment sits, and how a slab or crawlspace drains after heavy rain all get more attention now than they used to.
The clay soil that causes foundation movement also drains slowly, which makes grading around the house matter more here than in sandier soil. Water that pools against a foundation instead of running off adds to both flood risk and long-term foundation stress.
We treat foundation type and drainage as the first two questions on any Baton Rouge renovation, not something to figure out after the design is done.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you genuinely travel to Baton Rouge?
Yes, it is within our service area. It is the far end of it, so call early and we will be honest about scheduling rather than committing to a date we cannot keep.
What kind of Baton Rouge homes do you work on?
Everything from pre-war homes near downtown and the university to mid-century slab housing and newer subdivision property. The range here is much wider than in the metro.
Do you actually travel to Baton Rouge?
Yes, it is within our service area. It is the far end of it, so call early and we will be straight with you about scheduling.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. We come out, look at the property, and give you a written scope and a written number. No charge and no obligation.
Are you local?
Yes. We are based at 3436 Magazine Street in New Orleans and work across the metro, the Northshore and out to Baton Rouge.
How do I get started?
Call 504-470-0455 or send the form on this page and we will arrange a time to walk the property.
Do older homes near LSU or downtown Baton Rouge need foundation work before a renovation starts?
Often, yes, at least an inspection. Homes in the Garden District, Spanish Town, and Old Goodwood are commonly built on piers, and Baton Rouge’s clay soil shifts with moisture. We check pier condition and levelness before we finalize any renovation plan on a raised home.
Is a remodel different in a slab home in Southdowns or Sherwood Forest than in an older raised house?
Yes. Slab homes route plumbing through or under the concrete, so moving a sink or tub means cutting and rerouting slab plumbing instead of working in open joist space. It’s more involved, and we plan for it upfront.
