What Reconstruction Involves in New Orleans Homes
Flood-cut walls and floors
After the August 2016 flood, gutted interiors piled on curbs across Denham Springs and Livingston Parish, where officials estimated 75 percent of homes were a total loss. Flood rebuilding means new insulation, drywall, flooring, and often cabinets on the ground floor.
Hurricane roofs, ceilings, and walls
Ida tore roofs off homes and businesses and left trees lying on houses. Once the structure is dried, we rebuild ceilings, walls, and interior finishes damaged by wind-driven rain.
Raised homes and crawl spaces
Some homes near the lake sit on raised foundations; in Mandeville, many early 1900s homes were built on open brick piers. Rebuilding under and inside a raised home means replacing insulation and repairing the subfloor and framing with care for the structure.

- We pull permits where required and order materials.
- We rebuild framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, and trim, then paint and finish.

When You Need Reconstruction, and What To Do First
- Drywall or flooring was removed after a water or sewage loss
- A fire damaged framing, roofing, or a kitchen
- A storm opened the roof or walls
- Mold remediation removed walls or ceilings
- A slab leak required flooring to come up
- Contents were packed out and rooms are empty
Keep copies of the cleanup scope, photos, and moisture readings, since they define what needs to be rebuilt. Talk to your adjuster about finishes and upgrades before work starts, and call (504) 504-4914 to schedule the rebuild with the same team that did the cleanup.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope follows the loss. A water loss may need only drywall, insulation, trim, and flooring. A fire loss may need framing, roofing, electrical work by licensed trades, kitchens, and finishes. We build the scope from what was removed during cleanup, so nothing is missed between the two jobs.
Where a home has had water damage more than once, we can discuss materials that tolerate water better, such as moisture-resistant board and water-resistant flooring, so that the next loss costs less. Upgrades beyond like-kind replacement are priced separately, so you and your adjuster can see the difference before work starts.
What We Rebuild
- Drywall and plaster
- Flooring and subfloors
- Cabinets and countertops
- Trim, doors, and painting
- Roofs and exterior openings
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Rooms affected by slab leaks

Insurance and Documentation for Reconstruction
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination on reconstruction, working from the same documentation your adjuster approved during cleanup. Upgrades beyond like-kind replacement are usually the owner's cost, and coverage limits depend on your policy, so confirm them with your carrier before finishes are ordered.
