How We Work

We start with a clear plan, move fast, and keep you informed every step of the way.

Planning and Site Assessment

We visit your Metairie home to measure, understand the layout, and identify load-bearing walls. We check electrical, plumbing, and HVAC routing to plan what moves where.

This is where we catch potential issues early and make sure your vision is actually buildable. Many Metairie homes near Bucktown and Old Metairie have unique framing—we account for that.

Permits and Structural Planning

We pull all needed permits and work with engineers if load-bearing walls are involved. Your home's foundation and framing stay safe and code-compliant.

Metairie homes require careful planning due to local soil and moisture conditions. We make sure your open concept doesn't compromise the structure.

Demo, Install Beams, and Rough Framing

We demo walls carefully, protect your furniture and other areas, then frame openings and install beams. Dust control and cleanup happen daily.

Once framing is in, your open plan takes shape. You'll see the real flow of light and space.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing

We route new ductwork, wire, and pipes. Inspections happen before drywall goes up, so fixes don't get hidden.

Every system is tested and meets Metairie building codes.

Drywall, Finishing, and Painting

We install drywall, tape, mud, and sand smooth. Final paint is applied with care and precision.

The result is a seamless open space that feels new and clean.

Final Walkthrough and Inspection

We walk the space with you, verify final punch items, and confirm the project is complete and safe. Permit sign-offs are done.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling as Part of Open Plans

When you open your kitchen to the living area, we remodel it fully: cabinets, countertops, islands, and flooring. Bathrooms get vanities, tile showers, and updates too.

Homes in Westgate and Bonnabel Place benefit most from kitchens that flow into living spaces.

Why It Matters

An open floor plan increases comfort, light, and home value—but only if done right.

Structural Safety and Compliance

Removing walls is not a DIY project. Improper framing leads to sagging ceilings, cracks, and dangerous settling. We engineer every wall removal, pull permits, and pass inspections.

Your family stays safe. Your home's structure stays solid. That peace of mind is priceless.

Better Light, Flow, and Living Space

Metairie homes feel larger when walls come out. Natural light moves through the space. You can see and connect with family while cooking or relaxing.

Homes in Bucktown and Country Club Estates command higher prices when they have this flow.

Increased Home Value and Resale Appeal

Open floor plans are what today's buyers want. A well-done remodel pays back in resale value and buyer interest.

We do the work right so your investment pays off.

Serving Metairie and Surrounding Areas

We work throughout Metairie, from Old Metairie to Bucktown to Westgate and beyond.

We know Metairie's neighborhoods, their home styles, and their common renovations. We understand Jefferson Parish building codes and permitting.

Whether your home is near Lakeside Shopping Center, in Pontchartrain Gardens, or along tree-lined Metairie Road, we've worked nearby and know the area.

Fast Permitting and Project Management

We handle all permit paperwork and inspections. No delays. We coordinate trades, manage schedules, and communicate with you daily.

Your project runs on time and stays organized from start to finish.

Featured Questions

What's the cost to remove a wall and open my kitchen to the living room in Metairie?

Costs vary based on the wall type, beam size needed, and whether plumbing or electrical is in the way. We provide a free estimate after inspecting your home.

Most kitchen-to-living room openings in Metairie homes range widely depending on complexity. We'll give you an exact price during the initial assessment.

How long does an open floor plan remodel take?

A typical wall removal and finishing takes 4–8 weeks depending on scope. If you add kitchen or bathroom remodeling, add 4–6 weeks more.

Larger projects in Old Metairie homes may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the start.

Do I need a permit to remove a wall in Metairie?

Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall always requires a permit and structural engineer approval. Non-load-bearing walls may have fewer requirements, but we recommend permits to protect your investment.

We handle all permit paperwork for you.

Can we stay in our home during the remodel?

During demo and framing, dust and noise are heavy. Most families choose to relocate for 2–4 weeks. We'll help you plan and minimize disruption.

Once framing is done and drywall starts, the home is quieter and you can return.

What if we want to add a kitchen island or update fixtures as part of the remodel?

Absolutely. We handle cabinets, countertops, islands, appliances, flooring, tile, vanities, and fixtures. We coordinate everything so your new open space is fully finished and functional.

One contractor manages it all—simpler than juggling multiple trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about open floor plan remodeling in Metairie

How do you ensure the new beam is strong enough for my home?

We work with a structural engineer who calculates load requirements, chooses the right beam size, and confirms sizing on plans. All work is inspected and permitted.

Will open floor plans affect heating and cooling costs?

Larger open spaces may use slightly more energy to heat or cool. We size your HVAC system during the remodel to ensure efficiency and comfort.

Can you help me design the layout before we start?

Yes. We discuss your vision, show you options, and work with an architect or designer if you want. We make sure the final layout fits your lifestyle and home's structure.

What happens if we find surprises like hidden plumbing or asbestos?

We address them transparently. Hidden plumbing gets rerouted. Asbestos or other hazards get handled by licensed professionals. We inform you, provide options, and adjust the schedule and budget accordingly.

Are payment plans available, or is it cash upfront?

We discuss payment schedules with you. Typical terms include a deposit to start, payments at key milestones, and final payment at completion. Ask us for options that fit your situation.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. We warranty our labor and materials for a set period. Details are in your contract. We stand by the quality of every project.
