Kitchen cabinets
Custom cabinetry chosen for door style, storage, and how the material handles Gulf Coast humidity.
Countertop remodel
Countertops and backsplashes replaced without tearing out a kitchen that is otherwise working for you.

Not sure which of the six fits your kitchen? We will tell you at the consultation, at no cost.
Built for New Orleans homes
Why a New Orleans Kitchen Has a Harder Job
Most remodeling advice online is written for a dry climate and a house built after 1980. Very little of it survives a summer in Orleans Parish.
Humidity and moisture
Cabinet boxes, finishes, and flooring behave differently at our humidity levels. Material choice matters more here than style does.
Historic homes
We renovate kitchens in older and historic properties across the Garden District and Uptown while keeping the character that made the house worth buying.
Realistic timelines
Permits, inspections, and material lead times all shift the schedule. We map the whole sequence before demolition starts.
We plan around what our climate and our older houses actually do to a kitchen.
How the kitchen renovation process works
How Our Kitchen Renovation Process Works
The same three stages run on every New Orleans kitchen we build, whether it is a cabinet refresh or a full renovation. You get the plan and the schedule in your hands before demolition starts.
Consultation and quote
We sit down with you, write a complete list of what the project needs, and quote the design, materials, and labor. Then we walk the full layout and hand you a flow chart, a draw schedule, and a detailed timeline.
Installation
Demolition, then rough-in work like framing and plumbing, then walls, doors and windows, cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, appliances, and new flooring.
Professional inspection
Work is inspected for local building codes and approved before finishes go in, and we walk the finished kitchen with you at handover.
Stage one starts with a conversation and a measurement, and costs you nothing.

Scope and timeline
What Drives the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
We would rather answer this before you fill in a form than after. Your scope sets your number, so here is what actually moves it.
Cabinets
Door style, box construction, and how many runs the room needs. Usually the largest part of the job.
Countertops and backsplashes
The material and how much of it. Seams, cutouts, and edge detail all add work to the same slab.
Appliances
Yours to choose. Fitting them into the layout you have costs less than moving services to suit them.
Flooring
Whether the existing floor stays, is refinished, or comes up and goes back down after the cabinets.
Plumbing
Keeping the sink where it is costs less than moving it. The same goes for a dishwasher or an island supply.
Electrical work
Added circuits, under-cabinet lighting, and bringing older wiring up to current code.
Average for a kitchen renovation with minimal construction.
Larger kitchens needing structural changes.
Every kitchen is priced on its own scope. We measure, walk the plan with you, and give you a firm number at the consultation rather than a range you cannot budget against.

Remodeling questions answered
New Orleans Kitchen Remodeling Questions, Answered
The questions homeowners ask us most before a remodel starts. If yours is not here, call us and we will answer it straight.
How does the kitchen renovation process work?
The process runs in three stages. We start with a consultation where we write a complete list of what your remodel needs and quote the design, materials, and labor. We then walk the full layout and hand you a flow chart, a draw schedule, and a detailed timeline before any work begins.
The build itself follows a set sequence: demolition, rough-in work like framing and plumbing, professional inspection for building codes, then walls, doors and windows, cabinets, countertops, plumbing fixtures, appliances, and flooring.
How much does a kitchen remodel in New Orleans cost?
There is no single figure, because the price follows the scope. The total is built from cabinets, countertops and backsplashes, appliances, flooring, plumbing, and electrical work, and how much of each your kitchen needs.
We measure your kitchen, walk the plan with you, and give you a firm number at the free consultation. That is a real quote you can budget against, not an estimate range.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchen renovations take six to eight weeks when minimal construction is involved. Larger kitchens that need structural changes usually run ten to twelve weeks, and permits, inspections, and material lead times can shift that.
At the first conversation we present a bid flow chart, a draw schedule, and a detailed timeline, so you have a realistic completion date before anything is torn out.
What are the different types of kitchen remodels?
Kitchen remodels range from demolition and structural changes, through plumbing and electrical work, to cabinets, countertops, appliances, and full design changes. We also handle historic kitchen renovations, keeping the historic character of the room while making it function properly.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work yourselves?
Yes. We have licensed plumbers and licensed electricians on the team, so rough-in work and any rewiring are handled in house and inspected for code compliance rather than passed to a subcontractor you have never met.
Can you remodel a kitchen in a historic New Orleans home?
We do. The goal is to preserve what makes the room worth keeping while bringing the layout, storage, and systems up to how you actually cook. Material selection matters more in these homes, both for the character of the space and for how it handles our humidity.
Which areas around New Orleans do you serve?
We remodel kitchens across Greater New Orleans, from Metairie out to Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, Slidell, and Hammond. If your city is not on that list, call us and we will tell you straight away whether we cover it.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. We come out, take measurements, and give you a real number covering design, materials, and labor, rather than a range you cannot plan around.
Still have a question about your kitchen? Call us and we will answer it straight.
