Renovation Contractor
in Kenner
Kenner is largely mid-century suburban stock, plus the older Rivertown area near the Mississippi. Two different renovation conversations.

Renovation in Kenner
Most of Kenner went up in the post-war decades. That means slab construction, original kitchens and bathrooms that are now well past their service life, and layouts built for how people lived several decades ago.
Rivertown, closer to the river, is older and has more character stock where the work looks more like city renovation than suburban updating.
Being in Jefferson Parish and close to the airport corridor, drainage and roof condition come up constantly.
People in Kenner 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 Kenner
Most of Kenner went up in the post-war decades, and the housing stock reflects a very specific moment: slab on grade, compartmentalised floor plans, and kitchens and bathrooms that were well designed for 1965 and have been limping along ever since.
The most common job we are called for here is opening up a plan. Those homes were built with the kitchen walled off from everything else, and taking that wall out transforms how the house works. The question is always whether it carries load, which we establish before you commit to the idea rather than after the ceiling is open.
Original kitchens and bathrooms in this stock are usually well past replacement rather than refresh. Cabinet boxes have taken sixty years of Gulf Coast humidity, and the plumbing behind the walls is often the real reason to do the work now.
Rivertown, closer to the Mississippi, is older and has more character stock. Work there looks more like city renovation: plaster, original trim, and structure worth checking.
Being on flat ground in Jefferson Parish, roofing and drainage come up constantly alongside the interior work.

Kenner’s Mid-Century Homes and the Rivertown Exception
Most of Kenner filled in during the mid-1900s as New Orleans grew outward. Neighbourhoods like Chateau Estates, Woodlake, Susan Park, and Oakland Plantation are largely brick homes built slab on grade from that era. A kitchen or bath remodel in one of these homes usually means working with slab plumbing and the electrical standards of that period.
Rivertown, along the Mississippi River, is the exception. It’s Kenner’s oldest section, with older raised homes and a different renovation profile: aging wiring, older plumbing, and construction details you won’t find in the newer subdivisions.
Knowing which part of Kenner a home sits in tells us a lot before we even walk the property.
Low Ground and the Pumps That Keep It Dry
Kenner sits low, close to both the river and Lake Pontchartrain, and like the rest of the New Orleans area, it relies on a pump system to move rainwater out rather than letting it drain by gravity. That reality shapes renovation decisions around grading, gutters, and how water moves away from the foundation.
We factor drainage into every Kenner renovation, especially additions or exterior work where changing the footprint of a home can change how water flows across the lot.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open up my kitchen wall?
Usually. The first question is whether it is load bearing, and if it is, it needs a properly sized beam and support. We work that out before quoting so the number you get is the real one.
Is it worth refacing sixty year old cabinets?
Only if the boxes are sound. After that long in this humidity they often are not, especially under the sink. We will tell you straight which one you have.
Do you work throughout Kenner?
Yes, across Kenner and the wider Jefferson Parish area including Rivertown.
Can you open up a closed-off mid-century layout?
Usually. The question is which walls are load bearing, and we establish that before you commit to the idea. See whole home renovation.
What is the most common job out here?
Kitchens and bathrooms in homes where the originals have simply reached the end, plus roofing and drainage.
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.
Does Kenner’s low elevation affect how a renovation gets planned?
It does. Kenner depends on pumps to move rainwater out rather than natural drainage, so we pay close attention to grading and where water goes once it leaves the roof and yard, especially on additions that change the home’s footprint.
Are Rivertown homes different to renovate than homes in newer Kenner neighbourhoods like Woodlake or Chateau Estates?
Yes. Rivertown is Kenner’s oldest section, with older raised homes and older wiring and plumbing. Newer subdivisions are mostly slab-on-grade brick homes from the mid-1900s, which changes how we approach plumbing and electrical work.
