Whole-Home Remodeling: Your Dream, Our Craftsmanship, One Home Redefined

Serving Metairie, New Orleans, and Jefferson Parish, with additional work on the Northshore and select projects in the Baton Rouge area.
Complete Home Renovation Services
A whole-home remodel is the most comprehensive way to update your living space short of new construction. It allows you to reimagine your floor plan, upgrade all systems, and address deferred maintenance—all in a single, coordinated project.
This approach is often more practical than piecemeal renovations over time, and ensures all finishes and systems are cohesive and properly integrated. As a licensed general contractor, Cajun Home Services manages every aspect of your whole-home renovation from initial planning through final inspection.
Greater New Orleans homes present unique renovation challenges. Many properties built before 1970 contain outdated electrical systems, galvanized plumbing, and layouts designed for different lifestyles. Pier-and-beam foundations common throughout Jefferson and Orleans Parish often require leveling before renovation work begins. Our crews have renovated homes across Metairie, Lakeview, Kenner, and the Westbank, developing expertise in the specific construction methods and building codes applicable to Louisiana residential properties.
All work is performed by licensed, insured, and documented crews, with scheduling systems designed to minimize delays and disruptions.

Is Whole-Home Remodeling Right For You?
A whole-home remodel is a significant undertaking. It makes sense when individual room renovations would not address your underlying needs, or when the scope of changes required makes a comprehensive approach more practical.
Consider a whole-home remodel if:
- Your home needs updates in multiple rooms or systems
- The current floor plan does not work for your lifestyle
- Major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) need replacement
- You love your neighborhood but not your current house
- Piecemeal renovations would be more disruptive and costly over time

Why Whole-Home Remodeling Makes Sense in Louisiana
Louisiana homes face environmental pressures that accelerate aging across all systems simultaneously. High humidity, seasonal flooding risk, termite pressure, and the occasional hurricane create conditions where deferred maintenance compounds quickly. Many homeowners discover that addressing one issue—such as water damage in a bathroom—reveals underlying problems with electrical, plumbing, or structural systems that would have been caught earlier in drier climates.
A whole-home remodel allows property owners to address these interconnected issues systematically rather than reactively. Instead of patching individual rooms over years, a comprehensive renovation updates all systems at once: replacing aging electrical panels with modern 200-amp service, converting galvanized plumbing to PEX, upgrading HVAC to handle Louisiana humidity, and ensuring the envelope and insulation meet current energy codes.
Cajun Home Services approaches whole-home projects with the same structured methodology used for new construction. The process begins with a thorough assessment of existing conditions, including structural evaluation, system testing, and identification of code compliance issues. This assessment informs a detailed scope of work and project schedule that coordinates all trades—framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring, and finishes—in proper sequence.
Project management includes twice-daily photo updates, dedicated project managers (both local and virtual), and complete permit coordination. Homeowners receive a single point of contact rather than managing multiple subcontractors independently. This turnkey approach is particularly valuable for whole-home projects where coordination complexity increases exponentially with scope.
For properties in historic districts such as the French Quarter, Garden District, or Algiers Point, our team understands the additional requirements of Historic District Commission review. We work within preservation guidelines while still achieving modern functionality—a balance that requires experience with both historic renovation techniques and current building codes.
