Abita Springs has a housing stock of craftsman cottages and early 20th century homes that reflect the town’s distinct identity. Additions on these properties require experience with older construction methods — pier and beam foundations, aged framing, and systems that may have been updated piecemeal over the years. St. Tammany Parish handles all addition permitting for Abita Springs. We work in this community with the care and attention to craft that these homes deserve.

Yes. We serve Abita Springs homeowners with home addition services throughout St. Tammany Parish. We’re experienced with the craftsman cottages and older homes that make up much of Abita Springs’s housing stock.
Craftsman homes and older cottages present several addition challenges that conventional suburban construction doesn’t. Pier and beam foundations require careful tie-in details to prevent differential settling between the new addition and the existing structure. Older framing systems may not be perfectly square or plumb, which affects how the addition joins the existing roofline and walls. And the architectural character of these homes — the proportions, the materials, the details — needs to be respected in the addition design so the finished result reads as a coherent whole rather than an obvious add-on. We’ve worked on enough of these homes to know where the complications arise and how to address them.
Yes. We manage all permitting and inspection coordination with St. Tammany Parish on every Abita Springs addition project.
That conversation starts at the design phase. We discuss the existing home’s architectural character — the materials, the roofline profile, the window proportions, the trim details — and design the addition to work with those elements rather than importing a generic addition aesthetic. The goal is a finished result where someone unfamiliar with the home’s history can’t clearly identify where the original structure ends and the addition begins.
