Whole Home Renovations in New Orleans Require Real Local Experience.

A whole home renovation in New Orleans isn’t like renovation work anywhere else. The city’s housing stock — shotgun houses, camelbacks, Creole cottages, doubles — presents specific structural, plumbing, and electrical challenges that contractors without local experience consistently underestimate. Pier and beam foundations, aging cast iron and galvanized plumbing, knob and tube wiring in older homes, and Orleans Parish permitting requirements all add layers that require a contractor who has actually worked through them before. We have. We’ve completed whole home renovations throughout New Orleans in every housing type the city has to offer.

Our Process

We’ve refined our approach over hundreds of projects to make our services as straightforward as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us.

Step 1: Meet & Plan

We visit your New Orleans home, walk every room, and produce a detailed written estimate with a clear scope. We take the time upfront to understand the full project before anything is committed.

Step 2: Design & Refine

We develop the full renovation plan — layout changes, material selections, systems upgrades — and work through every detail with you until the plan is exactly right before ordering begins.

Step 3: Build & Complete

We manage the complete renovation including all trades, Orleans Parish permits, and inspections. We don’t call the job done until every room meets the standard we committed to at the start.

New Orleans Homes Deserve a Renovation That Respects Their Character.

The best whole home renovations in New Orleans improve how a home functions and performs without erasing what makes it worth renovating in the first place. Original hardwood floors, transom windows, exposed brick, plaster walls, and the proportions of older New Orleans rooms are worth preserving. We plan renovations that update plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems, modernize kitchens and bathrooms, and improve energy performance while keeping the character that makes a New Orleans home distinctive.

About the Homes We Renovate Across New Orleans

New Orleans’s housing stock is one of the most architecturally rich in the country, and whole home renovations here reflect that diversity. Shotgun houses and doubles in the Marigny, Bywater, and Tremé require careful work that respects the structure while transforming the interior. Uptown and Garden District homes present a different scale and finish level but similar considerations around aging systems and preservation-minded renovation. Post-Katrina rebuilds throughout Lakeview, Gentilly, and New Orleans East have modern bones but builder-grade finishes ready for a real upgrade. We work in all of these contexts regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Quillen Construction Group do whole home renovations in New Orleans?

Yes. Whole home renovations are one of our primary services in New Orleans and throughout Orleans Parish. We manage complete home transformations from planning through final walkthrough, handling all trades, permitting, and project coordination under one roof. Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of every room and system before we write the scope.

How long does a whole home renovation take in New Orleans?

Most whole home renovations in New Orleans take between three and six months depending on scope, the condition of existing systems, and whether the project involves structural changes or significant plumbing and electrical work. Projects that involve phased occupancy — where the homeowner stays in the home during renovation — often take longer than full vacate renovations. We provide a realistic schedule with every estimate.

How much does a whole home renovation cost in New Orleans?

Whole home renovation costs in New Orleans vary significantly based on the size of the home, the condition of existing systems, the quality of materials selected, and the extent of layout changes involved. A basic cosmetic update across all rooms costs far less than a full gut renovation that includes new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and high-end finishes throughout. We provide a detailed written estimate after a thorough site visit so you have an accurate number before committing.

Do you handle Orleans Parish permits for whole home renovations in New Orleans?

Yes. We manage all permitting and inspection coordination with Orleans Parish on every whole home renovation we complete in New Orleans. Whole home renovations typically involve multiple permit types covering structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, and we handle all of that on your behalf throughout the project.

How do I get started with a whole home renovation in New Orleans?

Call us at (504) 800-4126 or use the contact form on our website to schedule a free site visit. We’ll walk through every room of your New Orleans home, assess the existing conditions, and put together a detailed written scope and estimate before you commit to anything.
