"I used Precise Design Construction for my investment property. This was only the second property that I have purchased and rehabbed. The first time my experience was not good, but that was due to my contractor. This time around, I used Precise Design Construction, and they were with me step by step in this process. The best part was their communication, professionalism and of quality of work. I highly recommend them and will be using them with my next purchase again."

Old-House Construction in New Orleans
A Contractor for New Orleans Shotguns and Cottages
Houses here are older, narrower, and raised off the ground. They need a different kind of care.
Most of New Orleans was built long before slab houses. Shotguns, doubles, camelbacks, and Creole cottages sit on brick or block piers, with wood floors, tall ceilings, and plaster walls. That is great to live in and tricky to renovate. Floors sag where piers have sunk. Sills rot from years of damp air. Formosan termites are a constant problem.
Our office is in Baton Rouge, about 80 miles up I-10, so we take New Orleans jobs as full projects — a whole-house renovation, an investment property rehab, a large addition, or major repairs. We plan the job in detail up front, set the crew schedule for the length of the work, and keep you updated the whole way through.

New Orleans Investors and Owners
Reviews New Orleans Investors and Homeowners Should Read
"I was in need of someone to help bring my investment property back to life. I called around and couldn’t really find anyone to work with my budget because a lot of my money went into the properties. I was just searching and searching and I came across this company. Bobby was very understanding, great ideas, understood my problem, and we found a solution together that would make both of us happy and I am proud to say that the project is finished and will soon be working on my next investment properties and will definitely be giving Bobby a call"
"Definitely loved working with the company to get my house remodeled…they we fast and efficient. But most of all they were patient with me because I was lost on what type of design I wanted lol…BUT I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THOUGH"
New Orleans FAQs
New Orleans Renovation Questions We Get Asked
My house is in a New Orleans historic district. Can I change the outside?
Often yes, but it needs approval first. In local historic districts, the Historic District Landmarks Commission reviews exterior work like windows, doors, siding, and porches. The French Quarter has its own Vieux Carré Commission. We prepare the drawings and material details they ask for before we file for a permit.
Can you fix sagging floors in a shotgun house on piers?
Yes. We get under the house to see why the floor dropped — sunken piers, rotted sills, or termite-damaged joists. Then we replace the bad wood, reset or add piers, and level the floor as far as the house safely allows. Old plaster may crack some as things move.
You're based in Baton Rouge. How do you handle jobs in New Orleans?
We take New Orleans work as full projects, not quick service calls. Once a job is scheduled, we set the crew plan for the whole run of the work. You get regular updates by phone, and we line up deliveries and inspections ahead of time so days aren't wasted.
Do you renovate rental doubles and investment properties in New Orleans?
Yes. Investors hire us to take a rough double or single from gutted to rent-ready. We give you a written scope and price up front so you can run your numbers before you commit. We also handle the permits through the city's Department of Safety and Permits.
