Gretna’s addition landscape splits cleanly between the historic district and the surrounding neighborhoods. In the historic district, additions require HDLC review in addition to Jefferson Parish permitting, which adds time to the process but is manageable with proper planning and design. The surrounding mid-century neighborhoods have more straightforward permitting paths and often have lots that can accommodate meaningful additions. We work in both contexts in Gretna and bring the right approach to each.

Yes. We serve Gretna homeowners with home addition services, including work in both the historic district and the surrounding mid-century neighborhoods throughout Jefferson Parish.
Additions on contributing structures in Gretna’s historic district require review by the Historic District Landmarks Commission before Jefferson Parish will issue a building permit. The HDLC has specific design standards around exterior materials, massing, and architectural compatibility that must be addressed in the design phase rather than discovered after permit submission. The review adds time to the process — typically four to eight weeks depending on the scope — but it’s manageable with proper planning. We handle the HDLC submittal and review process as a standard part of every historic district addition project in Gretna.
Yes. We manage all Jefferson Parish permitting and inspection coordination on every Gretna addition, including HDLC submittals where required for historic district properties.
We build rear additions, room additions, master suite additions, and covered additions throughout Gretna. In the historic district, we design additions to satisfy HDLC compatibility requirements while delivering the space the homeowner needs. In the surrounding neighborhoods, we build conventional additions suited to mid-century construction on Jefferson Parish lots.
