Renovation in Mandeville
Old Mandeville has timber homes with the detail and the problems that come with age. Close to the lakefront, humidity and exposure are harder on cladding, ironwork and paint than a few streets inland.
The newer areas are mostly slab construction where renovation is about updating rather than repairing.
Being near the water also raises the drainage question earlier than it does elsewhere, which is where we usually start.
People in Mandeville 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 Mandeville
Mandeville runs from the lakefront back into newer development, and the difference between those two ends is significant for renovation. Old Mandeville near the water has historic timber homes; further north it is largely later slab construction.
Proximity to Lake Pontchartrain changes what fails first. Salt and constant humidity work on ironwork, cladding, fixings and paint far harder than a few miles inland. Exterior metal that would last two decades elsewhere needs a proper coating system here, and paint preparation matters more than the paint.
It also moves drainage up the priority list. Ground that stays wet against a foundation is what causes the differential settling behind sloping floors and doors that stop latching. On lakefront and near-lakefront lots we look at where the water goes before quoting anything cosmetic.
The newer parts of town are a straightforward updating market: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and opening up plans built for a different era.

Renovating Lakefront and Inland Homes in Mandeville
Mandeville’s housing splits pretty clearly by distance from the lake. In Old Mandeville, along the lakefront, you’ll find historic cottages and camps built up on pilings, some of them generations old. That elevation was never optional. It’s how homes here have always dealt with lake flooding, long before flood maps existed.
Move inland to Beau Chene, Lakeshore, or The Sanctuary and the housing looks different. These are newer subdivisions with brick homes built slab on grade, developed well after Old Mandeville was already established. A renovation in one of these homes is closer to standard suburban remodeling work, without the elevation and structural questions a lakefront cottage brings.
When we renovate in Old Mandeville, keeping the wood siding, porches, and proportions intact matters as much as what’s happening inside. Homeowners here aren’t looking to erase the character that makes the neighbourhood what it is.
Wind and Water Off the Lake
Lake Pontchartrain puts Mandeville in the path of wind-driven storms, and that shapes what we recommend for exterior work. Roofing, siding, and window choices all get evaluated with wind exposure in mind, not just appearance.
Big Easy Renovations backs its roofing work with a 50 year non pro-rated materials warranty, a 10 year workmanship warranty, and 15 year unlimited wind coverage from named storms. For a lakefront community like Mandeville, that wind coverage is the part homeowners usually ask about first.
Whether you’re updating a camp in Old Mandeville or a kitchen in Beau Chene, we plan the exterior work with the lake in mind.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does being near the lake really change the work?
Yes. Salt air and humidity are hard on metal, cladding and coatings. It changes what we specify rather than what we charge, but specifying it wrong is what leads to a repaint in three years instead of ten.
What should I do first on a lakefront property?
Water management, then the envelope, then finishes. Drainage and roofing are unglamorous and they protect everything you spend afterwards.
Do you work in Old Mandeville?
Yes. The older timber housing stock near the lakefront is exactly the kind of work we are set up for.
Do you do outdoor space?
Yes. Patios, fencing and drainage are a big part of Northshore work. See patios.
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.
Can I renovate an Old Mandeville lakefront cottage without losing its historic character?
Yes. We work around the original wood siding, porch details, and proportions that define these homes, updating what’s inside and behind the walls without changing how the house looks from the street.
Does Mandeville’s lakefront location affect what renovation materials you recommend?
It does. Homes near Lake Pontchartrain deal with more wind exposure than inland properties, so we lean toward wind-rated roofing and siding. On the roofing side, our warranty includes 15 years of unlimited wind coverage from named storms.
