Renovation in LaPlace
LaPlace is largely later slab-built residential stock, and its defining renovation issue is water. Between the river and the lake, on flat low ground, drainage is not a finishing touch out here.
Many homes have been through flood recovery. The most useful thing we do on those is work out honestly what was properly repaired and what was covered over.
Roofing, siding and drainage come up more often here than kitchens, and we are set up for that.
People in LaPlace 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 LaPlace
LaPlace sits between the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain on low, flat ground. Water is not a side issue in the River Parishes, it is the frame everything else sits inside.
Most local housing is later slab construction, and a great deal of it has been through flood recovery. On those homes the most valuable work we do before quoting anything is establishing what was genuinely repaired and what was covered over. A wall that was cut, dried and reboarded properly is fine. One that was patched over damp framing is a problem that will surface again.
Exterior work leads here more than it does in the city. Roofing, siding, soffit and gutters are what keep the envelope intact, and they take a beating from both storm season and ordinary Gulf Coast weather.
Yard drainage matters more here than almost anywhere we work. On flat ground with nowhere for water to go by gravity, getting it away from the foundation takes design rather than a downpipe extension.

Renovating on Flat Ground: LaPlace and the River Parishes
LaPlace sits on the east bank of the Mississippi River in St. John the Baptist Parish, on some of the flattest, lowest ground in the metro area. Neighborhoods like Belle Terre, Cambridge, and River Forest were built on that flat river-parish land, and water management drives a lot of what a Big Easy Renovations project here needs to account for.
Drainage is not a side issue in LaPlace. Residents deal with it regularly, and any renovation that changes your roofline, footprint, or grading needs to work with the parish’s drainage system, not against it. That includes additions, garage conversions, and anything that adds impervious surface to the lot.
Housing stock in subdivisions like Riverlands and Riverland Heights runs from mid-century ranch homes to newer construction, most of it slab on grade. That is a more straightforward foundation to renovate than pier and beam, but slab homes on low ground still need careful attention to moisture at the perimeter.
Storm and Flood Realities That Shape the Plan
LaPlace has taken real hits from storm surge in past hurricanes, which is why levee and drainage improvements have been an ongoing parish priority. That history is part of why we plan renovations here with flood resilience in mind, from material choices in lower-level spaces to how additions handle grading.
None of that should scare you off a renovation. It just means the plan accounts for where you live. A remodel in Belle Terre or Cambridge gets designed around LaPlace’s flat, low terrain, not around assumptions that would apply somewhere on higher ground.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We flooded before. Where should we start?
With an honest assessment of the last repair. What was replaced, what was patched and what was closed up. That decides the whole scope and it is worth knowing before you spend on finishes.
Is drainage work worth doing before renovating?
Out here, almost always. Water first, then structure, then finishes. Doing it in the other order is how people pay twice.
Do you come out to LaPlace?
Yes, LaPlace and the surrounding River Parishes are part of our service area.
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 LaPlace’s flood history affect what materials you recommend for a renovation?
Yes. For lower-level spaces and additions, we favor materials that hold up better to moisture and, in areas that have flooded before, materials that can handle occasional water exposure without a full rebuild.
My home is in the Belle Terre subdivision. Does that change permitting or grading requirements for an addition?
Grading and drainage requirements apply based on your property’s elevation and the parish’s stormwater rules, not just the subdivision name. We check the specifics for your lot before finalizing an addition plan. Call 504-470-0455 to get started.
