SEE SERVICES Commercial Services Reliable construction and renovations to... --- --- ## Posts A home addition should never look slapped on at the last minute. It should feel like it has always belonged there. That is the whole point of smart home addition plans. The new space needs to match the roof, siding, windows, trim, and flow of the house. If any one part feels off, the entire project can look patched together. Quillen Construction Group takes a builder’s view of the job from day one. A good-looking addition is not just about adding square footage. It is about making the old and new work together so the finished home looks clean, balanced, and built with purpose. That starts at the top. Rooflines, drainage, framing, and tie-ins matter more than many homeowners expect. If the roof pitch does not match, if valleys collect water, or if the addition cuts into the home in a clumsy way, the project can create trouble instead of solving it. That is why strong home addition plans need a contractor who sees the full picture. home addition construction Home Addition Plans Should Match the Shape and Style of the Home The best additions do not fight the house. They follow the home’s lines and keep the design steady from front to back. A room addition can look great on paper and still feel out of place once it is built. That usually happens when the size, roof shape, window placement, or exterior finish do not match what is already there. Good plans for home additions look at: Roof... --- When a Courtyard by Marriott needed a large scale renovation covering both bathroom upgrades and full flooring replacement, they turned to Quillen Construction Group to get the job done. Hotel renovation projects at Marriott branded properties come with high expectations for quality, consistency, and speed. Our team delivered on all three. What It Takes to Renovate a Courtyard by Marriott Marriott properties are held to strict brand standards, and any renovation work must meet those expectations down to the last detail. Guests expect a seamless experience, and ownership cannot afford extended downtime on rooms that generate revenue every night. That is why choosing the right hotel renovation company matters. The contractor has to understand the urgency, maintain quality across every room, and coordinate the work so the property can continue operating throughout the project. At Quillen Construction Group, that is exactly how we operate. Our recent Courtyard by Marriott renovation involved two major scopes of work running on tight timelines, and our team executed both with precision. 75 Room Shower Conversions at Courtyard by Marriott The first phase of the Courtyard by Marriott renovation involved converting 75 showers using Mincey Marble products. Before any work began on the property, we sent our General Foreman directly to the Mincey Marble manufacturing facility to learn the proper installation techniques from the source. He then returned and trained our entire crew on the correct methods, ensuring every installation met the manufacturer's standards from start to finish. Each shower conversion followed a thorough, multi... --- A renovation can feel like organized chaos if nobody runs the job. Materials arrive late, crews overlap, permits stall, and the budget drifts off track. That’s why homeowners often ask, “what does a general contractor do? ” and whether hiring one truly matters. The short answer is simple: a good contractor controls the job, so the project stays safe, on schedule, and built the right way. Quillen Construction Group treats every renovation like a full system, much like a roof that depends on every layer working together. A single weak link causes leaks, delays, and wasted money. A strong general contractor closes those gaps before trouble starts. A licensed general contractor coordinates labor, inspections, materials, scheduling, and communication. That role keeps your renovation from turning into a guessing game. When homeowners ask, “what does a general contractor do? ”, the real answer covers planning, protection, and execution from start to finish general contractors What Does a General Contractor Do Before Construction Starts? The work begins long before the first tool hits the job site. A renovation lives or dies in the planning phase. Clear drawings, accurate pricing, and permit approval form the foundation of a successful project. A general contractor reviews plans and turns ideas into buildable steps. That process prevents mid-project surprises that can inflate costs. The contractor spots weak design points early and fixes them before materials get ordered. Permit handling protects homeowners from legal trouble. Renovations must meet local building rules, and a licensed team works with... --- Restaurant owners talk a lot about menus, equipment, and staffing, yet the floor often gets ignored until problems show up. A commercial kitchen runs all day with heat, grease, water, and heavy traffic. That space needs commercial kitchen flooring that holds up under pressure and keeps staff safe. Quillen Construction Group treats kitchen flooring the same way a roofer treats a roof. If the base fails, the whole structure struggles. Every restaurant kitchen needs flooring that resists slips, cleans easily, and lasts for years. A weak surface cracks, traps bacteria, and slows down operations. That kind of headache costs money fast. Strong commercial kitchen flooring protects the building, supports health standards, and keeps the crew moving without fear of falls. polished commercial kitchen flooring Why Commercial Kitchen Flooring Matters in a Restaurant Think about how much punishment a restaurant floor takes in a single shift. Hot pans drop, water spills, carts roll nonstop, and cleaning chemicals scrub the surface. Flooring for a commercial kitchen must act like armor. It absorbs impact, resists moisture, and handles constant washing without breaking apart. Restaurant flooring plays a major role in safety. Slippery surfaces create accidents, and accidents lead to injuries, insurance claims, and lost workdays. The right commercial kitchen flooring includes a slip-resistant texture that gives traction even during rush hours. Cleanability matters just as much. Health inspectors look closely at floor seams, drains, and sanitation zones. A properly installed system helps restaurants pass inspections without stress. Quillen Construction Group installs floors with... --- After years of working on roofs, framing, and full builds, patterns show up fast. Some upgrades pay off every time. Others look good but miss the mark on value. Homeowners usually ask the same question during a site visit: Which changes will actually raise property value? That’s where smart home remodeling ideas come into play. A good home remodel focuses on structure, function, and long-term use. Flashy updates fade. Solid improvements keep working year after year. Below are home remodeling ideas that consistently bring strong returns and make homes easier to sell, easier to live in, and easier to maintain. Home Remodeling Ideas That Start With Structural Improvements Before paint colors or fixtures enter the picture, structure sets the tone. Buyers notice roofs, siding, and layout long before décor. Roof Replacement or Repair as a Home Remodeling Idea roof replacement as home remodeling idea A worn roof raises red flags fast. New shingles or metal roofing add confidence for buyers and protect the rest of the house. A roof upgrade often shortens time on market and avoids price cuts during inspection. From a roofer’s view, this step protects every other remodel that follows. Siding Upgrades Tied to Home Remodel Ideas Updated siding boosts curb appeal right away. Fiber cement and modern vinyl last longer and reduce upkeep. Clean exterior lines signal a well-kept property and help buyers feel comfortable moving forward. Layout Fixes that Improve Flow in a Home Remodel Removing awkward walls or opening up living areas adds usable... --- Office buildings go through wear and tear just like roofs do. When layouts stop working, productivity slips. People get distracted, cramped, or slowed down. That’s where office interior design starts to matter more than paint colors or fancy furniture. At Quillen Construction Group, commercial remodeling gets approached the same way a roofer looks at a structure. The layout either supports the load or causes problems over time. A strong office layout supports workflow, communication, and comfort. A weak one causes delays, noise issues, and frustration. Office interior design focuses on how people move, where they sit, and how spaces get used every day. When that setup makes sense, work gets done faster and with fewer headaches. office interior design Office Interior Design and Productivity Go Hand in Hand Productivity doesn’t come from luck. It comes from spaces that make daily tasks easier. Office interior design plays a big role in how teams perform during long workdays. A smart layout cuts down on wasted steps. It reduces noise where focus matters. It places shared spaces where people can actually use them. Over time, those small changes add up. Office design decorating ideas help with look and feel, yet layout choices drive results. A clean, practical design keeps people comfortable and focused without distractions getting in the way. Office Interior Design Starts With a Layout That Makes Sense Every office has its own rhythm. Some teams need quiet areas. Others rely on fast collaboration. Office interior design needs to match that daily... --- Choosing the right tile for your kitchen floor often feels like a big job, and that’s exactly why homeowners ask Quillen Construction Group for guidance. As a contractor that deals with surfaces every day, our team understands how floors handle stress, spills, scratches, and everything life throws at them. So when folks begin searching for kitchen floor tile ideas, we do our best to explain things in a simple way. These ideas don’t just focus on looks. They’re built around strength, safety, easy cleaning, and long-term comfort—things every homeowner keeps an eye on. With the right plan from Quillen Construction Group, your kitchen ends up with a floor that fits your lifestyle and stands firm for years. Below, we go through five kitchen tile floor ideas that homeowners ask about the most. You’ll see options for modern homes, classic homes, and busy households that need flooring that never slows them down. 1. Kitchen Floor Tile Ideas With Classic Porcelain Kitchen Floor Tile Ideas With Classic Porcelain Porcelain continues to be one of the most trusted materials for kitchen floors. It handles spills, heavy traffic, and sudden messes without losing its shape. Porcelain works well in homes where kids run around or where the kitchen is used all day long. The style options make it flexible, so you can match it with almost any cabinet or countertop. Why porcelain is a smart pick: Porcelain is harder than many other tiles, so it stays looking clean even with frequent use. We often... --- Bathrooms need more than good plumbing and a decent layout. The shower area sets the tone for comfort and style, and the right tile makes a major difference. Many homeowners ask for bathroom shower tile ideas that bring a fresh look without making things complicated or expensive. As a contractor that handles everything from interior finishes to full remodeling work, Quillen Construction Group guides clients through choices that look good, last long, and match the rest of the home. Each idea below keeps practicality in mind. These suggestions help your shower stand out while remaining safe, strong, and simple to maintain. 1. Large-Format Bathroom Shower Tile Ideas for a Clean, Smooth Look Large-Format Bathroom Shower Tile Large tiles are one of the most common tile shower ideas today. They create fewer grout lines, which helps the shower look clean and open. These tiles help give small showers a roomier feel. The wide surface area reduces visual clutter and brings a calm, steady look to the walls. Many homeowners like them because there’s less grout to scrub. That means faster cleaning and fewer spots where dirt likes to settle. If a simple, modern style is what you’re after, this type of shower tile is an easy win. 2. Subway-Style Bathroom Shower Tile Ideas With a Fresh Twist subway tiles Subway tile is classic, but that doesn’t mean it has to look plain. You can stack the tiles vertically for more height, or run them in a staggered pattern for a bit... --- When your backyard space is limited, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or style. At Quillen Construction Group, we specialise in turning even the smallest outdoor areas into functional, beautiful living spaces. In this guide, we’ll share 10 creative small patio ideas that make the most of compact yards — and explain how our professional team can bring these designs to life through expert planning and construction. backyard patio design 1. Define the space clearly One of the best small patio ideas is to establish clear boundaries. Even in a tiny yard, defining where the patio begins helps create a sense of purpose. We often build low retaining walls or use contrasting paver materials to visually separate the patio from the lawn or garden. As your general contractor, we take care of grading, edging, and base preparation to ensure your patio looks cohesive and intentional. 2. Choose compact furniture and multifunction pieces In smaller patios, oversized furniture quickly dominates the area. Opt for slimline seating like a two-person bench or built-in seating along a wall. A folding or convertible table can also save space. Our team can craft custom benches, built-in planters, and space-saving storage that enhance both function and style — helping your small patio feel open, not cramped. 3. Use vertical elements to draw the eye up A great way to maximize small space is by bringing height into the design rather than spreading out horizontally. Consider: Vertical gardens or wall planters. Tall narrow lights or lanterns. A... --- A great kitchen starts with the right cabinets. They set the tone for the room, define the layout, and make daily life easier. Whether you're building new or updating your current space, the right kitchen cabinet ideas can turn your kitchen into a place you’ll enjoy spending time in every day. At Quillen Construction Group, we’ve worked on countless kitchen remodels across Louisiana, and we’ve seen how the right cabinet design can make a world of difference. Let’s look at a few practical and stylish ideas that can inspire your next project. kitchen remodel by Quillen Construction Group 1. Go for Timeless Shaker Cabinets Shaker cabinets are one of the most popular kitchen cabinet ideas because of their clean and simple design. Their square edges and recessed panels make them look modern but never go out of style. You can paint them white for a bright, open feel or choose navy, sage, or charcoal for something more dramatic. 2. Mix Colours for Contrast kitchen remodel high contrast A trend that continues to grow is the two-tone cabinet design. Using lighter colours on upper cabinets and darker ones below helps balance the space while adding depth. For example, pairing white upper cabinets with deep green or navy lowers gives a fresh, balanced look that stands out without feeling heavy. 3. Choose Open Shelving for a Light Look Not every kitchen needs wall-to-wall cabinets. Swapping a few upper cabinets for open shelving keeps the room feeling airy and allows you to display... --- Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing! --- When planning a bathroom remodel, we often focus on the big-ticket items: the tub, the tile, the countertops. But what about the light that fills the space? Often treated as an afterthought, lighting is one of the most powerful tools in design. It has the unique ability to completely transform a bathroom from a purely functional room into a personal sanctuary. The right lighting strategy can make a small bathroom feel open and airy, ensure your morning routine is seamless, and turn your space into a relaxing retreat. This post will explore how strategic lighting choices can elevate your bathroom's design and enhance its everyday functionality. More Than Just a Lightbulb: The Power of Layered Lighting A truly well-designed bathroom uses multiple sources of light that work together in layers. This approach ensures every corner of the room is adequately lit and creates a rich, visually appealing environment. There are three main layers to consider: Ambient Lighting: This is the foundation of your lighting plan, providing overall illumination for the entire room. It can come from a central flush-mount fixture, a chandelier, or recessed lighting in the ceiling. Ambient light sets the room's general tone and ensures you can safely navigate the space. Task Lighting: This is arguably the most crucial layer for functionality. Task lighting provides focused, bright light for specific activities like shaving, applying makeup, or styling hair. The most important place for task lighting is at the bathroom vanity. Sconces mounted on either side of the mirror... --- Bathroom Remodeling Contractor Hiring Tips The value of your house can be increased by remodeling your bathroom. The job can brighten the room and improve functionality, while increasing the home's value up to 67%. A moderate bathroom upgrade costs an average of $10,000. This is an investment you should carefully consider. Everything starts with selecting the right contractor. A good contract will be a good communicator, planner and problem solver. They will work with you to determine your vision, and then they will coordinate a team to complete your bathroom remodeling idea in a time frame and budget that has been agreed upon. Some contracting firms offer their own design or architecture services if you don't have a plan yet. 1. Make a clear plan before you begin Spend some time collecting your thoughts before contacting a contractor. You should write down the goals you have for your project and any specific design or aesthetic features that you desire, like vintage or modern design. Decide on your budget and timeframe. Will a contractor be able to complete the project, or will additional professional help be required? Bathroom remodeling contractors are able to handle the demolition, structural repair and installation processes. It is best to consult a licensed engineer if the project involves more complex engineering elements such as wall removal or reconfiguration. A professional designer is also able to provide expert advice on layouts, and solutions for specialized fixtures. These services are offered by many bathroom remodel specialists. 2. Find... --- In the heart of New Orleans, the charm of antique homes cannot be denied. From quaint shotgun houses to sprawling Creole townhouses, the Crescent City boasts an architectural tapestry unlike any other.

That’s because a well-organized kitchen is the heart of any home, and storage plays a crucial role in keeping it functional and clutter-free. Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast or simply looking to streamline your cooking routine, maximizing storage during your kitchen remodel can make a world of difference.

Assessing Your Storage Needs Before diving into your remodel, it’s important to evaluate your current kitchen’s storage challenges. Are your countertops cluttered with items that don’t have a proper place? Do you struggle to reach items stored in deep cabinets or awkward corners? Identifying these problem areas is the first step toward creating a more efficient kitchen. Start by taking inventory of your kitchen items. This includes everything from cookware and small appliances to pantry staples and utensils. Understanding what you own—and how often you use it—will help you prioritize your storage needs. For example, frequent bakers might need extra space for baking sheets and mixers, while casual cooks may focus on organizing basic utensils and pantry goods.

Choosing natural materials for your kitchen design brings warmth, texture, and sustainability into the space while creating a timeless aesthetic. Whether you’re selecting countertop materials, flooring, or cabinetry, incorporating organic elements can help you craft a welcoming and stylish kitchen that aligns with modern eco-friendly living. However, navigating the vast selection of natural materials requires careful planning to avoid common kitchen remodeling mistakes. From selecting the right finishes to ensuring durability, it’s essential to work with an experienced contractor who understands the balance between aesthetics and practicality. In this guide, we’ll explore the best natural materials to consider and how to seamlessly integrate them into your kitchen design. Why Choose Natural Materials for Your Kitchen? Incorporating natural materials in your kitchen offers a range of benefits beyond just aesthetics. Here’s why homeowners are increasingly embracing this approach: Timeless Appeal – Natural materials like wood, stone, and clay bring a unique, organic charm that never goes out of style. Durability – Unlike synthetic alternatives, materials like granite, marble, and hardwood are built to last, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Sustainability – Choosing eco-friendly options such as reclaimed wood or bamboo minimizes environmental impact while adding character to your kitchen. Health Benefits – Many man-made materials contain chemicals that can release toxins over time. Natural materials, on the other hand, improve indoor air quality and create a healthier living space. By incorporating these elements thoughtfully,... --- A commercial construction project is one of the most significant investments a business can make. This isn’t just about erecting a building; it’s about creating the physical space where your company will operate, grow, and generate revenue. The success of this venture—and your return on investment—hinges on selecting the right commercial contractor. Choosing a partner for a project of this scale is a complex business decision, fundamentally different from a residential build. It demands a higher level of due diligence, financial scrutiny, and verification of specialized experience. This guide provides a clear framework to help business owners and project managers navigate the selection process and find a contractor who can deliver your vision on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety. Defining the Scope: Laying the Groundwork for Business Success Before you can identify the right contractor, you must first define the project in clear business terms. A successful commercial build starts long before the first shovel hits the ground. Your project scope is more than just a set of blueprints; it's a comprehensive plan that aligns the physical construction with your strategic business goals. Start by outlining the core objectives. Are you building a retail space to increase foot traffic and sales? An office to improve workflow and attract top talent? An industrial facility to expand production capacity? From there, establish the critical parameters: Budget & Financing: A realistic, detailed budget is essential. This includes not only the hard costs of construction but also... --- https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=pyf-op1WYfg Hurricanes, with their sheer force and devastation, often leave homeowners in despair.

Whether you're looking to enhance convenience, improve efficiency, or add a touch of luxury, incorporating smart features into your bathroom can provide a significant upgrade. With the right approach, you can maximize storage, improve energy efficiency, and create a space that aligns with modern bathroom design ideas. Before you spend your money on the latest gadgets, it's important to understand the options available and how they can enhance your daily routine. Smart Fixtures and Fittings When planning a bathroom renovation, integrating smart fixtures can significantly improve functionality and comfort. A smart toilet, for example, offers features like self-cleaning capabilities, bidet functions, heated seats, and automatic lids—making it a perfect blend of convenience and hygiene. Many smart toilets are designed with water efficiency in mind, helping homeowners reduce waste and lower utility bills over time. Touchless faucets are another excellent addition, allowing you to wash your hands without ever touching the handle. This not only enhances hygiene but also helps conserve water, making it a wise investment when hiring a bathroom contractor for your remodel. Additionally, smart showers offer customizable temperature settings, voice control features, and water usage tracking—giving you full control over your shower experience while keeping an eye on energy consumption. High-Tech Bathroom Accessories Beyond fixtures, smart accessories can elevate your bathroom experience. A smart mirror, for instance, offers built-in LED lighting with adjustable brightness and touchscreen capabilities that provide weather updates, news,... --- Get an IBHS FORTIFIED Roof in Louisiana with Quillen Construction.

Don’t forget to ask your bathroom contractor for advice. They do this work day in and day out. So use their expertise and experience for your benefit! How can you maximize storage and space in a small bathroom? When developing your plan for the bathroom renovation, you should consider several factors, such as your budget and project priorities. If you have the funds and space to expand your bathroom, and add more storage and features, this may be a good option. It is possible, however, to only use the space you already have available and add more storage while still being cost-effective. By increasing your storage capacity, it is likely that you will end up with a more spacious and organized environment. Here are some ideas to maximize storage and space if you're remodeling your bathroom but want to keep the same footprint. 1. Work with the layout of your room Look for ways to maximize your small bathroom. Consider placing items on the wall. Choose narrow vanities and shelves that are easy to install instead of large cabinets and drawers. Most of these items require only a screwdriver and some screws. 2.

A large kitchen island is featured in almost every kitchen remodel you see on TV. There is a reason for this. A kitchen island is a great way to combine form and function. It also creates a focal point in the room. It doesn't necessarily mean that every kitchen should have one. Installing one has its pros and cons. We will discuss the pros and cons of installing an island into your kitchen. You can then decide whether an island in your kitchen is the best use of space. The Pros of a Kitchen Island Installing an island in your home can have many benefits, including increased storage and workspace. Here are a few of them. Storage Options Enhanced Lack of storage is one of the biggest mistake made during a kitchen remodel.

Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client who had previously experienced problems with a contractor that had performed incorrect work. After they contacted us, we visited the property and identified several issues that needed to be addressed. We were able to provide the client with a solution that met their needs and ensured that their home was structurally sound. One of the major issues we identified was an exterior wall that had been framed incorrectly. This posed a significant risk for structural issues, and we had to re-frame the entire side wall to ensure that it was compliant with code and structurally sound. We also identified that the entire subfloor throughout the home was unleveled and needed to be properly leveled, which we addressed to ensure the safety of the home's occupants. After addressing these issues, we began work on the client's 2700+ sqft addition, which would include a garage and living space. We worked with the client to design the space to meet their needs and ensure that it was functional and aesthetically pleasing. We are currently in the process of adding a new porch that will be bigger and have higher ceilings than the previous porch. We are also removing a side porch to build a new wine cellar that will hold 3000 bottles of... --- Choose a vanity that suits your style and space, whether it's simple and relaxed or elegant and sophisticated.

These include granite, quartz, marble and others. Every kitchen countertop material has positives and negatives. Some materials are scratch-resistant while others can be damaged more easily. Some materials are more expensive than others. Which kitchen countertop material would be best for your kitchen remodel? Let’s take a look! There are many options when it comes to choosing materials for kitchen countertops. It can be difficult to choose the right material for your home and yourself. So don't make the kitchen remodeling mistake of choosing to hastily. This guide will help you to understand the pros and cons of different countertop materials.

You can also set hot pans and pots on top of it. Granite countertops are available in a wide range of colors, but must be sealed regularly to keep its stain-resistant qualities. 2. Quartz Kitchen Countertops Quartz is also a popular option for kitchen counters because it's durable, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant. These countertops are non-porous and do not require sealing like granite countertops. Quartz is susceptible to cracking and chipping if not installed correctly. 3.

Kitchen remodel financing is a top concern. With Quillen Construction Group, your dream kitchen is now within reach. Are you considering giving your kitchen a fresh, modern look? Kitchen remodel financing is often the first concern that comes to mind for many homeowners. The kitchen, often referred to as the heart of the home, is a space where memories are created, meals are shared, and families gather. Upgrading this space not only amplifies the property’s value but significantly enhances the living experience. While many believe that you need a hefty sum saved up to embark on such a project, the reality is different. With the Quillen Construction Group by your side, your dream kitchen is within reach. Understanding the Costs of a Kitchen Remodel Before we delve into the various kitchen remodel financing options, let's break down the potential costs involved: Size Matters: The first thing to consider is how big your kitchen is. A spacious kitchen will need more materials – from tiles to paint and cabinets. So, if you have a large kitchen, you should be prepared for a higher cost. Additionally, the bigger the kitchen, the longer the process will take. Choosing Your Materials: The materials you select play a big role in the final cost. If you dream of a kitchen with luxurious marble countertops, custom-made cabinets, or high-end fixtures, these choices will come with a heftier price tag. On the other hand, if you're okay with standard materials, you'll save some money. It's all about what you want and what fits your budget. How Big is the Change? : Are you thinking of... --- When remodeling a bathroom, it's crucial to make smart financial decisions. Investing heavily in certain areas, such as high-quality shower doors, porcelain tiles, or a stylish vanity, might mean you'll need to cut costs in other aspects of the bathroom renovation. Knowing where to save and where to splurge can make all the difference. Here are some expert tips on where to invest and where to be more frugal. Where to Save Even with a budget under $10,000, you can achieve a high-end look in your bathroom, according to experts. You just need to work with the bathroom remodeling contractor that you hire and be upfront about your budget from the beginning. Toilets A high-priced toilet isn't necessary for a stylish bathroom. Experts recommend brands like American Standard for reliable and affordable options. These toilets are often praised for their quality right out of the box. Floor Tiles While floor tiles significantly impact the bathroom's overall aesthetic, there are ways to save without compromising on style. Due to the competitive market among tile distributors, it's possible to find beautiful tiles at reasonable prices with a little research. Ceramic tiles that replicate the look of granite can provide a luxurious appearance without the associated cost. Bathroom Accessories You don't need to splurge on items like towel bars or storage solutions. Big-box stores and online retailers often offer these accessories at lower prices, making them a great area to save money. Where to Splurge A general rule of thumb is to invest... --- If you want to remodel your bathroom in a historic home, it’s important to create a space that’s both charming and functional. By mixing vintage designs with modern features, you can design a bathroom that stands out. One that serves your needs while keeping the character of your home intact.   Maybe it's a classic bathtub next to a high-tech shower system or pairing retro tiles with contemporary fixtures. In New Orleans, our historic homes come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s an endless amount of options.   While design is all about personal tastes and needs, there are some good rules of thumb to keep in mind. In this guide, I’ll show you some essentials of crafting a bathroom that brings the best of both worlds. Mixing Old and New In places like Uptown and the Garden District, it's about blending history into modern living. It’s key to use design elements that preserve the space’s character while utilizing today’s functionality.   What Makes it Vintage  It’s important to remember that when it comes to remodeling a bathroom, vintage doesn’t have to mean old. If your Greek Revival in the Garden District has features you love and want to reuse, great! If not, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to track down genuine antiques. Several manufacturers produce, or even specialize in fixtures and features that offer classic styling. This makes them easier to find, and they can offer more efficiency and reliability. Not to mention, they may provide functionality... --- The bathroom is undoubtedly one of the most frequented rooms in your home. It's where you start your day, preparing for what's ahead, and where you unwind at night. Therefore, a bathroom remodel should focus on creating a space that not only looks appealing but also functions seamlessly. It's crucial to ensure that the design will keep you happy for years, making the investment worthwhile. The key to achieving this is to opt for a timeless design that can be easily modified to match your evolving lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. Unsure how to accomplish that? Here are seven classic bathroom design ideas to inspire you! 1. Install a standalone bathtub Freestanding tubs are the ultimate symbol of luxury. There's nothing quite like soaking in a bathtub after a long, tiring day. Why settle for a shower-tub combo when you can have a dedicated standalone tub just for your relaxation? Freestanding tubs have been a hygiene staple for centuries, exuding elegance regardless of whether you choose a traditional claw-foot style, a hammered copper design, or a sleek, modern fixture. These tubs not only act as the centerpiece of your bathroom but also add a significant structural element to the overall design. Their enduring popularity makes standalone tubs a wise investment for your bathroom remodel. 2. Create a seamless shower experience Taking the concept of a freestanding tub a step further leads us to the wet room. This modern shower trend involves extra-large shower spaces that often include a freestanding tub or... --- Questions to ask your contractor before they start the job So you’re ready to remodel your bathroom. It can be a very exciting process, especially if you have the right bathroom contractor. One of the biggest mistakes clients can make is to not ask enough questions or be involved in the process. The last thing that a bathroom contractor would want to deal with is an unhappy client. We created a list of questions to ask your bathroom contractor before hiring them and starting the remodel. These questions will help clear up a few things and make sure you’re choosing wisely. 1. Do you have any examples of past bathroom renovation work? Check out the reviews of your bathroom contractor. Check out their punctuality and communication skills. Also, look at the cleanliness of the work area, as well as work quality. If you find negative reviews, do not dismiss them immediately. If they have good communication and conflict resolution skills, you may be able to work with them. Look at the portfolios of previous work, particularly if your project is a specialty. You can view photos of the work done by bathroom remodeling contractors before hiring them. 2. Do you handle bathroom remodeling projects that are similar to mine? Contractors may specialize in a particular type of project. One contractor might specialize in bathroom additions while another may focus on small bathroom renovations. This question will save time and energy for everyone involved. Ask your contractor if he has any... --- At Quillen Construction Group, we have always believed in the magic of transformation.

While many would look at it as just another home renovation task, for us, it was an opportunity to demonstrate our exterior home remodeling prowess – and a chance to show that even old homes can display a new form of life. Brick Painting vs Pressure Washing The debate on painting exterior brick is a common one in the world of home renovations.

It's not just about painting brick; it's about ensuring that the painting enhances the architectural aesthetics of the home. While there are a variety of different paint manufacturers for your home, it’s important to select a manufacturer that will be worth your investment.

If you've recently completed a Bathroom Remodel in New Orleans, or are planning one soon, this guide is for you. Here, we'll explore how to choose the perfect accessories to complement your newly renovated space. The Importance of the Right Accessories After the heavy lifting of a bathroom remodel is done, it's time for the fun part – accessorizing. This is your opportunity to add personality and functionality to your newly remodeled bathroom. Whether it's through stylish storage solutions, luxurious linens, or the right lighting, each element plays a crucial role in bringing your bathroom together. Choosing Accessories for Your Bath Renovation Functional yet Stylish Storage Options: In the heart of any successful Bathroom Renovation, storage solutions are crucial. They should not only serve their functional purpose but also enhance the overall aesthetics of your space. When considering storage options for your Bathroom Remodel in New Orleans LA, think beyond the traditional. Wall-mounted cabinets are a great choice for saving floor space while offering ample storage. For a sleeker, more modern look, consider installing floating shelves that provide a place to display decorative items or store everyday essentials. Don't shy away from using unique vintage pieces, which can add a distinctive character and charm to your bathroom. A well-chosen antique cabinet or a repurposed piece of furniture can be both a focal... --- You can make many mistakes when you are undertaking a kitchen remodel project. These mistakes could cost you money and time in the end. You can remodel your kitchen successfully and avoid costly mistakes by planning and preparing properly. Discover below the most common mistakes to avoid when planning a remodeling of your kitchen. 1. Choose the wrong contractor Hire the best kitchen remodeling contractor for the job. Consider more than just the cost of the project. Read the contractor’s reviews and choose the most reliable contractor. Ask for multiple bids, and make sure you get many questions answered so that the contractor you select understands what your project is all about. Decide with the contractor what the most important features are for your kitchen - a larger kitchen island, more drawer and cabinet space, a food pantry and extra lighting - then allocate your budget accordingly. 2. Not planning enough storage It is never a problem to have too much storage space in a kitchen. You should ensure that you have sufficient counter space, or work with your contractor to find ways to increase storage in the kitchen. Plan well and make sure you have enough space to accommodate everything, from stainless steel kitchen utensils up to newly refurbished cabinets. To avoid ruining your newly renovated kitchen, you should adhere to your kitchen storage solution. You can add more space for your utensils, crockery, and other items by adding upper cabinets or corner storage.

If you own a historic home in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or the Northshore/Southshore and are planning a renovation, here are some key things to keep in mind: 1.

The HDLC has specific guidelines to ensure the preservation of historic structures and the surrounding neighborhoods. These guidelines govern everything from the materials used in the renovation to the types of windows allowed.

" is bound to arise when considering a renovation. Renowned for our expertise in New Orleans kitchen remodel projects, Quillen Construction Group is here to simplify the process for you. Key Factors Influencing Kitchen Remodeling Time in New Orleans When diving into a kitchen remodel, there are several factors to consider that can influence the duration of the project: Size of the Kitchen: We frequently hear from clients, "How long does it take to remodel a small kitchen? ". There isn't a clear-cut answer to this. Smaller kitchens generally have a different renovation timeframe than larger ones. This is especially true in New Orleans. The city's historic homes, like shotgun houses or smaller rental properties, feature charming, compact kitchens. Because of their size, these spaces might be remodeled more quickly. Extent of the Remodel: Answering the question "how long does it typically take to remodel a kitchen? " largely depends on the scale of the project. Replacing a few fixtures is a lot different from overhauling the entire space. Typical kitchen remodels involve flooring renovations/flooring installs, kitchen cabinet installs, light fixture installs, and so much more. Customization: At QCG, we like to give our clients' kitchens a distinctive style that is future-proof and modern. Custom features, such as custom cabinetry, built-in appliances, speciality lighting (ambient lighting), and more, can add to the remodeling duration.... --- What will you do with the bathroom when it's time to sell? Most homeowners shower instead of bathing. But did you know adding a tub can increase your home's resale price? This blog will help you understand the shower vs bathtub resale debate for 2024. What are the benefits of installing a shower? There is less space required Showers require more space than baths. You can expect to pay around 9 square feet for most standard shower sizes. This can be a significant difference compared to a standard bathtub that takes up about 13 square feet. Every square foot counts when you have limited space. Showers are also more flexible when it comes down to their placement. They can be installed in many places, including corners or alcoves, because they require less plumbing. This makes them perfect for small bathrooms, where every inch counts. Showers are great if you have limited space or prefer a simple and sleek look. Reduced water use There is a widespread misconception when it comes to water conservation that showers use more water than baths. The opposite is actually true. The average shower only uses about 30 gallons. A bathtub typically holds around 80 gallons. Even if you shower for a while, you will likely use less water than if it were a bath. Showers are also more energy-efficient than baths. Bathtubs require a lot of energy to heat the water. Showers can be taken in any temperature. This makes them more energy efficient. Showering... --- Choosing A Contractor For Your Kitchen Remodel The most important choice you will make when planning your dream kitchen is the contractor who will bring it to life. You can't choose a contractor from a catalog, unlike kitchen fixtures and finishes. It's easy for you to become overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available. Rushing through this decision can be the worst kitchen remodeling mistake of all. You'll end up spending more money, time and frustration if you rush to make a decision or choose a low-quality kitchen remodeling contractor. What to look for in a kitchen remodeling contractor? It is an expensive undertaking to remodel your kitchen. It's not always one thing that makes a contractor stand out from the others when you are looking for kitchen contractors. Often, it's a combination. These "Five C's", as we like to call them, are the core of any checklist, when looking for a contractor. Competence: An experienced kitchen remodeling contractor should have a proven track record of success on similar projects. Credentials: A contractor with good credentials will hold a valid contractor's license, along with any other licenses required by your locality, like a residential contractor special license. Your state’s Consumer Protection Agency can provide information on the requirements for contractors in your area. Coverage: An experienced contractor will be able to provide proof of personal liability insurance, property damage coverage, and workers' compensation. Communication Skills: An effective contractor will listen to you and communicate with you effectively so that... --- Transforming Kitchens with QCG: Your Go-To for Kitchen Remodeling in New Orleans Quillen Construction Group transforms your dream kitchen remodel in New Orleans to a reality. We specialize in transforming kitchens into modern, functional, and stylish spaces. After completing your remodel, the next step is accessorizing your kitchen to enhance its beauty and functionality. The Art of Accessorizing After a Kitchen Remodel in New Orleans Accessorizing is not just about adding items; it's about complementing the new look of your kitchen post-remodel. Here are some tips to get you started: Striking the Right Balance: After a kitchen remodel in New Orleans, achieving the right balance between aesthetics and functionality is vital. Select accessories that not only add visual appeal but also enhance the kitchen's usability. For example, a beautifully crafted kitchen island can provide additional workspace and serve as a focal point. Opt for ergonomic and stylish cabinet handles that make accessing your kitchenware a breeze. Remember, every item should contribute to the kitchen's overall look while serving a practical purpose. Color Coordination: Color coordination plays a significant role in creating a harmonious environment. Match your accessories, like dish towels, curtains, and cookware, with the kitchen's primary color scheme. This could mean adding pops of color through smaller items if your kitchen has a neutral palette. For bolder kitchen designs, choose accessories in complementary colors to create a cohesive look. The key is to ensure that these additions enhance the kitchen's ambiance without overpowering it. Functional Decor: Functional decor is... --- The modern kitchen is no longer just a place to prepare meals—it’s a high-tech hub designed for convenience, efficiency, and an enhanced cooking experience.

If you're considering a kitchen remodel, incorporating smart technology can elevate both functionality and style. Whether you're a passionate home chef or simply looking to make mealtime more efficient, these smart solutions can transform your space into a cutting-edge culinary haven. Smart Appliances for a Modern Kitchen One of the biggest upgrades in a smart kitchen remodel is integrating advanced appliances that simplify cooking, cleaning, and food storage. Today’s smart appliances are designed to save time, improve precision, and even help reduce waste. Smart Refrigerators These high-tech fridges do more than just keep food cold. They come equipped with touchscreen interfaces, internal cameras that let you check contents from your phone, and inventory tracking that alerts you when items are running low. Some models even suggest recipes based on what’s inside! Wi-Fi-Enabled Ovens & Ranges With remote control features, voice activation, and precision cooking settings, smart ovens and ranges make meal preparation effortless. Some models allow you to preheat or adjust temperatures via a smartphone app, while others have built-in cameras for real-time monitoring of your dish.

But did you know that you can make your home safer from storms and save on energy bills too? We're here to share some simple, energy-efficient improvements that can keep your home safe and snug, and your pocketbook happy. Hurricane-Proof Windows and Doors: High winds and flying objects can harm your home during a hurricane. How about replacing your old windows and doors with tough, impact-resistant ones? These new additions don't just shield your house, they're great at keeping the cool air in and the hot air out, helping you save on energy bills. Keeping the Weather Out: Living in our muggy Gulf Coast climate means your air conditioning is always working overtime. Let's change that. By finding and sealing air leaks with weatherstripping and caulk, and adding insulation to your home, you can keep the cool air where it belongs, easing the strain on your A/C and lowering your energy use. Cool Roofs and Reflective Coatings: Our summers can be real scorchers, and that can put pressure on your cooling system. A cool roof or reflective coating can be a game changer. These clever fixes keep out the sun's heat, making your home cooler and reducing your A/C usage. High-Performance HVAC Systems: A top-notch HVAC system is a must-have for comfort, especially during our Gulf Coast hurricane season.... --- Bathroom remodeling offers a perfect opportunity to combine style, function, and sustainability. As homeowners increasingly look for ways to reduce their environmental impact, eco-friendly renovations have moved from a niche trend to a top priority. From cutting water waste to improving energy efficiency, even small updates can make a big difference in your home’s environmental footprint. At Quillen Construction Group, we believe that going green doesn’t mean compromising on design or comfort. Whether you're planning a full-scale renovation or just looking to make a few smart bathroom upgrades, there are many sustainable choices that can help protect the planet—and lower your utility bills in the process. 1. Choose Sustainable Materials Selecting the right materials is the foundation of an eco-friendly remodel. The goal is to reduce the use of non-renewable resources while also avoiding products that emit harmful chemicals into your home. Reclaimed and Recycled Products Give new life to old materials by incorporating reclaimed wood vanities, recycled glass countertops, or repurposed metal fixtures. These options not only reduce demand for new resources but also add a unique, character-rich aesthetic to your bathroom. Low-VOC Paints and Sealants Traditional paints and sealants often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Choosing low-VOC or VOC-free products helps keep your bathroom safer and healthier for your family—especially in smaller, enclosed spaces. Bamboo and FSC-Certified Wood Bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable material that works beautifully for cabinets, flooring, and even countertops. For traditional wood options, look for Forest Stewardship... --- Updating the interior design of the kitchen is one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make. A well-planned kitchen remodel not only makes cooking easier but also boosts the overall comfort and value of the property. Trends may come and go, but some kitchen remodeling designs stand the test of time. Below are seven kitchen design ideas that will never go out of style and continue to be requested by homeowners year after year. 1. Classic White Kitchens White has always been a go-to for kitchen remodeling projects. It creates a fresh, clean backdrop that works with just about any accent color. White cabinets make a kitchen feel open and bright, especially when paired with natural light. Many homeowners like to add stainless steel appliances or warm wood floors to balance the look. This approach works equally well in small spaces and large kitchens. 2. Shaker-Style Cabinets Shaker-style cabinets are simple, durable, and versatile. Their clean lines blend beautifully with both traditional and modern kitchen designs. They’re not flashy, but that’s exactly why they never look dated. These cabinets can be painted, stained, or left in a natural wood finish, giving plenty of flexibility when planning a remodel. 3. Natural Stone Countertops Granite, quartz, and marble have been popular choices for decades, and for good reason. They’re durable, attractive, and functional. Natural stone surfaces not only look elegant but also withstand years of heavy use. Even as trends shift, stone countertops remain one of the most requested features in... --- The kitchen continues to evolve as the central hub of the home, serving not just as a place to cook, but as a gathering space for family and friends. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, staying ahead of design trends is a smart way to ensure your investment brings both style and long-lasting functionality. In 2025, kitchen design is all about blending comfort with sophistication, incorporating natural elements, and embracing technology. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or just looking for fresh inspiration, these top 10 trends will help you create a space that feels modern, welcoming, and built to last. 1. Warm, Natural Color Palettes After years of crisp white kitchens dominating the scene, 2025 is bringing warmth back into the heart of the home. Think soft greens, warm taupes, sandy beiges, and terracotta tones. These earthy shades create a cozy, inviting atmosphere and pair beautifully with both traditional and modern designs. Incorporating natural wood finishes—whether in cabinetry, shelving, or flooring—enhances this trend even further. A warm palette not only adds depth and richness to your space but also ensures a timeless feel that won’t quickly go out of style. 2. Sustainable Materials Sustainability continues to be top-of-mind for homeowners, and in 2025, eco-friendly materials for countertops and other applications are a must-have in kitchen remodels. From reclaimed wood and recycled glass countertops to low-VOC paints and energy-efficient appliances, there are plenty of ways to go green without compromising on style. Choosing sustainable materials not only benefits the environment... --- Bathrooms are one of the most used spaces in any house. A smart update can make the room more comfortable and practical while also raising the value of the property. Choosing the right approach to bathroom remodeling ensures that upgrades don’t just look good now but continue working well for years to come. With so many trends popping up and fading out, it’s better to focus on bathroom remodel ideas that last and continue to look fresh over time. Here are five proven ways to upgrade a bathroom with style and purpose. 1. Modern Bath Shower Design A bathroom’s shower area makes a big difference in both comfort and appeal. One of the best new bathroom ideas is upgrading to a larger walk-in shower with glass panels instead of an old curtain or framed enclosure. Not only does this open the room visually, but it also makes cleaning easier. Adding built-in shelves or a bench inside the shower brings even more convenience. Homeowners often pair modern showers with rainfall showerheads, which give a spa-like feel without taking up extra space. 2. Upgrading Vanities and Storage Storage is often a pain point in older bathrooms. An updated vanity can solve that problem and set the tone for the entire room. A floating vanity creates more floor space and makes a small bathroom feel bigger. On the other hand, a double-sink vanity can transform a master bath by giving couples more room to get ready each morning. Choosing durable countertops, like quartz... --- Wet rooms are increasingly seen as an upscale, luxurious bathroom choice, turning ordinary bathrooms into fully waterproof spaces that merge sleek aesthetics with practical design. Originally crafted as a solution for compact bathrooms, wet rooms today are often styled to feel more like personal spas. Typically, they feature tiled floors and open showers, though many include half-walls of glass by the shower or even a separate bathtub and drain. While these spaces have many design benefits, their primary challenge lies in the need for flawless waterproofing and effective drainage. Done well, a wet room can offer both aesthetic and financial value. Here’s a closer look at the advantages and drawbacks of modern wet rooms. PRO: Creates a Spacious Atmosphere One of the main benefits of a wet room is its ability to make a bathroom feel more expansive. With no visible shower tray and no need for walls to contain the shower area, the flooring and wall materials can continue seamlessly throughout the room. These unbroken surfaces give the impression of a larger space, enhancing both function and design. For those with mobility limitations, wet rooms also eliminate steps and curbs, allowing for a more accessible bathroom layout. In addition, these rooms are often easier to clean since the same cleaning products can be applied to all surfaces, simplifying maintenance. CON: Water Can Reach Everywhere A downside to wet rooms is that, without a closed shower area, water tends to splash across the room. This means towels, toiletries, and even... --- Where does your family gather to share stories, cook meals, and create memories? The kitchen, of course!

Fortunately, today’s flooring options go far beyond traditional tile or vinyl. From cutting-edge heating systems to eco-conscious materials, there are now more choices than ever to customize your bathroom with style, function, and durability in mind. At Quillen Construction Group, we specialize in helping homeowners explore modern remodeling solutions that enhance both the beauty and performance of their homes. If you’re planning a bathroom renovation, these innovative flooring ideas can take your project to the next level. Heated Flooring Systems Nothing says luxury like stepping onto a warm floor first thing in the morning. Heated flooring systems not only boost comfort but also improve overall energy efficiency by providing consistent, radiant heat from the ground up.

With their sleek lines and spa-inspired feel, they offer a stylish alternative to traditional enclosed shower designs.
