Northshore Construction in Slidell
A Contractor for Slidell's Raised and Waterfront Homes
Living near the lake shapes how Slidell homes are built and what they need.
Slidell sits on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain, across the Twin Span from New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina pushed a storm surge through much of the south side of town in 2005. Since then, many homes have been raised or rebuilt up on piers and pilings. In canal neighborhoods like Eden Isles, a lot of the living space now sits well off the ground.
That height changes the work. Raised homes need stairs, landings, decks, and porches that stand up to sun, damp air, and wind. The space under the house has rules about what can go there. We build with those limits in mind. Our office is in Baton Rouge, straight west on I-12, so we schedule Slidell jobs as planned projects.

Reviews for Slidell Homeowners
Customer Reviews to Read Before You Build in Slidell
"Precise Design Construction did a great job remodeling my home. They were professional and transformed my kitchen into my dream kitchen."
"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."
Slidell FAQs
Slidell Homeowners Ask About Decks, Height, and Permits
Can you build a deck or porch on a raised home in Slidell?
Yes. Decks and porches are popular in Slidell, and many sit high off the ground. Tall decks need deeper footings, bigger posts, cross bracing, and solid connections to the house so they stay put in high wind. We build the stairs and railings to code as part of the job.
Is my Slidell permit handled by the city or by St. Tammany Parish?
It depends on the address. Homes inside the Slidell city limits go through the city's building department. Many neighborhoods with a Slidell mailing address are outside the limits, in unincorporated St. Tammany Parish, and use the parish permit office. We check which one applies and file for you.
Can I close in the space under my elevated Slidell house?
Sometimes, with limits. In flood zones, the area below the required flood height is generally allowed only for parking, storage, and access, and walls there often need flood vents or a breakaway design. We check the rules for your zone before planning anything, so the work can pass inspection.
What holds up best outdoors on a canal-front home in Eden Isles?
Sun, moisture, and wind are hard on outdoor wood near the water. We like composite or pressure-treated decking, stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, and metal connectors made for outdoor use. Good spacing and airflow under the boards matter too. We'll show you a few options to choose from.
