Kitchen Remodeling Across Greater New Orleans
At Big Easy Kitchens, we remodel kitchens on both sides of Lake Pontchartrain, from Orleans and Jefferson on the south shore to St. Tammany and as far west as Hammond. Every parish here builds and permits differently, so the plan starts with the house rather than the catalogue.
Free, detailed initial consultation. No obligation.
Where we work
Eight Places We Remodel Kitchens
Each one is a different building problem. Pick your town to read how we work there.
New Orleans
Shotgun galleys, Uptown apartments and Mid City doubles. Narrow rooms where every inch of the plan has to earn its place.
Metairie
Slab-on-grade houses across Jefferson Parish, most of them mid-century, with the services running through the slab itself.
Covington
Wood-frame houses raised on piers in St. Tammany Parish, including work inside the historic district.
Mandeville
Raised cottages along the lakefront and newer subdivisions inland. Lake air is hard on hardware and finishes.
Madisonville
A river town on the Tchefuncte. Houses sit close to the water and are usually raised because of it.
Abita Springs
The smallest town we cover. Modest cottages in the piney woods, where the original joinery is often worth keeping.
Slidell
The largest city in St. Tammany. Olde Towne cottages, slab houses and rebuilt homes can sit on one street.
Hammond
A university town in Tangipahoa Parish, the only place we work outside St. Tammany. Rentals turn over fast here.
Built for this region
One Company Either Side of the Lake
Humidity, flood risk and slab construction shape a kitchen here more than any trend does. We specify for that in every town on this list.
Four parishes, four rulebooks
Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa each run their own permitting. Same job, different paperwork, and the filing is ours either way.
Slab on one shore, piers on the other
South shore houses mostly sit on a concrete slab with the services inside it. North shore houses are usually raised, and that decides the plumbing before anything else.
Humidity is the constant
It does not matter which town you are in. Timber moves, laminate lifts and particleboard swells, so we specify for the damp rather than for a photograph.
Tell us where the house is and we will tell you what it usually needs.
Service area questions answered
Questions About Where We Work
What homeowners ask most before booking a visit. If yours is not here, call us.
Which parishes do you cover?
We work across Orleans and Jefferson on the south shore, most of St. Tammany on the north shore, and Tangipahoa as far as Hammond. If your address sits just outside that, it is still worth calling, because the answer often depends on the road rather than the parish line.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
Does the price change depending on where I live?
The travel does not change the price. What changes it is the house itself, because a raised cottage in Covington and a slab house in Metairie need different work under the floor before any cabinetry goes in.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
Do you handle the permits in every one of these places?
Yes, and each parish runs its own process. Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa each have their own forms and their own inspectors, and working out which ones apply to your scope is our job rather than yours.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
How soon can someone come out?
Usually within the same week anywhere in the area. We are on the phone Monday to Friday, eight in the morning until five in the afternoon, and the visit itself rarely takes more than an hour.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
Do you work on rentals and investment property?
Often, particularly in Hammond and Slidell. Tell us at the estimate that it is a let, because the materials and the ironmongery we specify for a rental are not the ones we would choose for a family home.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
Is the estimate free everywhere you work?
Free anywhere in the area and on every service we offer. We come to the property, measure the room, look at the structure and the services underneath, and put a fixed figure in writing rather than quoting a range over the phone.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
Can you do the whole job with your own crews?
Yes. Our own licensed plumbing and electrical crews carry out that work on every job, which means one schedule to track and one point of contact rather than trades to chase.
Call us with your address and we will confirm you are inside the service zone before we book anything in.
What if my town is not on the list?
Call and ask. The list covers the places we work most often rather than a boundary, and we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you instead of leaving it open.
