Tchoupitoulas St. in New Orleans:  2009; A repeat client for whom we constructed an addition prior to Katrina. The front portion of the house was not remodeled/repaired during the last project, so this time around we repaired the front bedrooms and hallway in this historical N.O. home. Plaster wall/ceiling repairs, new picture molding, installation of a double-hung window, sanding of millwork, and blown-in insulation. It was good to see you again Robert!!

A door leading into an adjacent room was also closed-in, leaving additional wall-space for the new shower. Great job Walter, Ferris, Jimmy, Mr. Ed, and Jessie!!

St. Phillip St. in New Orleans: 2009; Another custom-built entertainment center and massive bookcase brought this clients dream to reality. This historical uptown home had the perfect room to accommodate such a millwork masterpiece. The design was created by the homeowner and PCS carpenter "Walter Godfrey" made it a reality with his unprecedented craftsmanship. Such a masterpiece required quality prep and painting, so thanks to PCS painters "Mike and Byron Ramirez" for supplying just that, to achieve a beautiful piece of furniture!!

S. Peters Condo in The Warehouse District:  2009; This Condo buyer wanted a complete new look and updated features added to their new purchase. Located in one of Downtown New Orleans most prestigious Condo's in the Warehouse District, PCS was right at home with this interior remodel project. With historic and upscale interior renovations/restorations being one of PCS's forte's, we were excited about helping this new owner achieve their goals in making this Condo their unique home. The remodel included the installation of massive double crown molding, new solid wood four-panel interior doors, new hardware, kitchen gut and remodel, two bathroom gut and remodels, new electrical fixtures, new plumbing fixtures, wood floor re-finishing, wall reconfiguration to accommodate a bar area, and interior painting.

Frankfort St. in Lake Terrace Subdivision N.O.:  2009; Another complete storm restoration project. A beautiful corner house in a very prestigious neighborhood just off of Robert E. Lee toward the lake. About 16" of standing water did a number on the first floor of this clients home. With beautiful interior woodwork at stake, we refurbished as much as possible vs. replacement. The whirlpool/sauna wing of this property was well worth restoration (the cypress and cedar was easily salvaged). The back yard pool was the first item of attention; pumped-out, cleaned-out, pressure washed, and put back into operation with temporary power as soon as possible. 80% of the downstairs drywall was replaced, along with insulation, cabinets, vanities, doors, trim,  and of course all flooring. All downstairs electrical, plumbing, and HVAC was repaired and put back into service with all new fixtures. The entire downstairs was painted and/or stained/varnished as needed.

Poinsettia Dr. in Metairie:  2009; This client came to us as a direct referral from one of our favorite repeat clients. The homeowner had his home raised 2' prior to us constructing a side addition, stucco underskirt, new plumbing drains, new laundry room, brickwork, hardi soffit & fascia, new gutters, interior renovations, side porch, front steps, exterior painting, and a beautiful rear deck for entertainment.

Lake Arrowhead in Stonebridge: 2009; A first-time homeowner couple had purchased this beautiful home, but it needed some TLC. Many needed repairs and some facelift renovations made this happy couple's new house their home. This project was financed by our good friends at "Wells Fargo", who by the way, are looking for qualified homeowners who need home improvement loans. PCS has joined together with Wells Fargo's special "Home Improvement" division to supply our clients with low interest and easy attainable renovation loans.

Weyer St. in Gretna: 2009; A terrific repeat client of PCS. We have already constructed a rear room addition and installed a coal-burning fireplace/historic mantle, custom cabinets & bookshelves for this client. But now they decided it was time for their kitchen to get a face-lift and their wood flooring to get re-finished. New cabinets, new counter tops, some new appliances, new plumbing fixtures, and new lighting. Thanks for the business (again) Kellie & Mark, your great clients!!

Wanda Lynn Dr. in Metairie: 2009; This client has been one of those unfortunate homeowners who has been victims of an unscrupulous contractor. Their walk-in shower was in shambles!! This project included removing everything, even some wall studs. A custom shower was constructed including new wall studs, hardibacker wallboard, a custom mud-pan, beautiful wall and floor tile, two rain-heads (with multiple inner-directional heads), a hand-held sprayer, body sprays, and new valves. The plumbing was completely re-ran from a 3/4" line penetrating from the slab. Thanks to Jessie and his crew for a great tile job!

Doyle Ct. in New Orleans East:  2009; Another complete Katrina storm restoration for a family who was ready to move back home! This family has patiently been waiting and living in Texas until their "Road Home" closing. Now with the funds needed to rebuild, this project started in January 2009 and reached substantial completion in May 2009. This is a nice two story home at the end of a cul-de-sac, so it was well worth restoration. With about 36" of water, the downstairs was 90% gutted but the upstairs had only about 10% damage. The project consisted of; Mold Remediation, minor interior wall alterations (to create an audio/video room and a larger kitchen), new insulation, new drywall, painting, new cabinets/vanities, new plumbing/electrical fixtures & appliances, all plumbing & electrical repaired and put back into service, new doors & millwork, and of course all new flooring. The upstairs received a complete master bathroom remodel and some flooring and ceiling repairs at the top of the hallway. Exterior repairs will consist of roof, siding, and soffit/fascia repairs. This was a great family and an exciting project to undertake.

Lafay St. in New Orleans:  2009; PHASE ONE: A complete Katrina storm restoration and renovation. We designed a new floor-plan that provided an updated lay-out creating more kitchen area, a huge laundry room, and an open family room. The installation of an enclosed patio/sunroom added an extra area for relaxation and that much needed morning cup of coffee.  Applying stucco to the front added to the curb-appeal of the home. PHASE TWO: Construction of a 700 sf addition consisting of an awesome master suite added to the side of this restored home gave the homeowner the much needed space of their own. Consisting of a large master bedroom, a master bath with a whirlpool tub - a custom shower - an isolated water closet - a linen closet - and a double vanity area, and two large walk-in closets, this addition added a great deal of value to this home! Thanks for choosing PCS to help get you back home. GREAT CLIENTS AND A JOY TO WORK FOR!! WELCOME HOME WILSONS!!!

Jefferson Heights Ave. in Jefferson:  2009; This project had two phases. The first phase was to address and correct lots of termite damage on an old rear addition.

The rear roof was also removed and re-constructed to continue the original roofline. Thanks for choosing PCS Don & Nancy, we enjoyed working on your home!

Weyer St. in Gretna:  2009; A repeat client of PCS. We added a rear addition to this property in 2004. This project consists of a custom built-in fireplace and entertainment center with bookcases. 12' wide by 10' tall, this unit has a 60" center ventless firebox section with an old New Orleans restored double mantle surrounding it. Two 36" base cabinets on each side of the fireplace with shelving units on top, towering to the ceiling, with crown molding and surface-mounted lighting. The entire unit was painted to match the homes existing millwork. This is a beautiful and useful addition to the clients home (not to mention a great investment for future re-sell value). Thanks for being great clients Marc & Kellie!! We look forward to renovating you kitchen this year.

Barkley Estates in Jefferson Parish:  2009; This was a great client to say the least!! Wonderful people are such a pleasure to work for. A beautiful home, a majestic back yard, and an inviting pool all deserve a unique Cabana. Designed by PCS and the homeowner, this Pool Cabana is awesome! 14' X 18', cathedral ceilings, stucco and roof to match the house, full bathroom, kitchenette area, and a bar area for entertaining, WOW! We will definitely have photos of this one coming soon to our "Photo Gallery" page.

S. Turnbull Dr. in Metairie:  2009;  This client just didn't have enough room for his growing family. Unfortunately, with a small lot, it's hard to find a way to get the extra space without an expensive second floor addition. Well, thanks to "Jason" (the homeowner) and PCS's design-build capabilities, we came up with an affordable side two-story carport/office addition that fit their need and budget. An open carport underneath and a second floor office, which is accessible by an exterior staircase. Total square footage is approx. 600 (both floors).

Lake Michael Ct. in Stonebridge:  2009; This project consisted of two bathroom renovations, new driveways, sidewalks, and steps.

All new plumbing/electrical fixtures, new flooring, the addition of an extra half-bath, custom tile-work, a large whirlpool tub with deck, and a custom shower with a bench and frameless glass walls/door. We will try to get some of these photos on the "Custom Bathroom" photo page.

Julia St. in the Quarter:  2008; This newly purchased downtown Condo needed some personal touches. A large sliding door unit (oriental style) was installed between the Den and the Master Bedroom. The kitchen walls were re-configured to create more open areas between the kitchen and the Den area. Granite bar tops were  installed, electrical wiring re-ran/moved, and some pendant lights installed. We had fun helping you make your new Condo your home "Stacey" (with a great view of the city I might add).

Marengo St. in uptown New Orleans: 2008;  Just off of beautiful St. Charles Ave., this old historical home needed some TLC. We completely renovated the kitchen, which included utilizing the old existing solid wood cabinets by re-constructing/modifying their design/lay-out, rebuilding the island, installing new solid-surface counter-tops, installing a tile backsplash, a complete paint job, and re-finishing the existing brick-paved flooring. Also, some leaning piers needed to be corrected by adding new structurally sound piers and securing the sill beam.

Prytania St. in uptown New Orleans: 2008;  This upscale Condo owner had some miscellaneous items around his newly restored  Condo that needed completing and he said PCS was the answer.

Arlene St. in Metairie:  2008; Both bathrooms in this clients home received an extreme make-over (not at the same time of course). First, the guest bathroom got all new fixtures (including the tub) and a new paint job. Second, the master bathroom was renovated with a complete new floor-plan, that included the addition of a whirlpool tub and a custom shower. A pocket door was installed as access from the master bedroom to save wall space.

Elmeer Ave. in Metairie: 2008;  Kitchens are always one of PCS's specialties and this one was no exception. Everything new, including the floor-plan. This clients existing kitchen was just to small and congested, so we removed some walls, created a large cased opening with decorative columns, installed new flooring, cabinets, plumbing/electrical fixtures, appliances, and finished it all off with a new paint job. Old outdated fur-downs definitely had to go! Under-cabinet lighting and pendant lights over a new island along with some dimmers gave this new kitchen a warm atmosphere.

Octavia St. in New Orleans: 2008;  A beautiful back yard deserves a beautiful backyard workshop. It's almost an insult to call this a "Workshop", it's more like a Cabana used as a workshop. We custom designed this structure especially with the homeowners hobbies and needs in mind. This guy loves to work on old bicycles and yard ornaments, so now he has his own "Hobby Workshop". 12' deep X 21' wide X 12' high with a slightly slopped flat roof, hardi-plank siding, an interior loft with a ladder to access for storage, a five foot wide X 8' high double solid-wood French entrance door, two 3' X 6' single hung windows with operable shutters, a 4' front overhang with decorative knee braces and recessed soffit lights, a 220 V. electrical panel box, and even water supply, all on a structurally sound concrete slab.

Historical Algiers Point in New Orleans: 2008;  Katrina took-out this homeowners much needed garage (their HOGS need a place to sleep---their motor cycles that is).

Beaded board interior walls, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, a split-unit HVAC system, five custom made Spanish cedar French entrance doors, hardi-plank exterior siding, a large wood deck surrounding two sides and a deck on the roof with stainless steel cable handrails.

Glad to help get your mom back home Clay!

Magnolia St. in Slidell:  About a foot of water can really make life difficult when you have five children and parents living with you (I don't think a Fema trailer would have been sufficient). About a foot of water created a lot of work. New drywall, beaded board waynscoat with chairail molding, new wood and tile flooring, new doors and trim, new kitchen cabinets, interior painting, and much more.

Phillip St. in New Orleans (Uptown): This extra large mansion duplex in uptown was a long project which finally achieved completion.

Coliseum in New Orleans (Uptown): Interior repairs and minor renovations were performed on this large uptown home along with a backyard guest house renovation. They also received a complete yard re-landscaping in which PCS designed and constructed the porches and some breezway walls.

Riviere in Metairie: This project was definitely one of my favorites. This 40+ year old home was ready for a make-over. The entire house was gutted, renovated, updated, and acquired an addition on the rear consisting of enlarging the Den area and adding a master bedroom & bathroom. When our electrician (EEC Electric) came to do the trim-out, he couldn't believe it was the same house. This house was a true challenge and the customers were the greatest. Thank You Ray & Desi !!

General Diaz in Lakeview:  This old New Orleans style home still looks the same in front, but received a two story addition in the rear which consisted of a master bedroom & bathroom, a guest bedroom & bathroom, a large family room with a fireplace, a new kitchen, and way to much more to list!!! The entire existing house was gutted and renovated along with the new addition. This project took approximately 8 months to complete.

Kawanee in Metairie: A whole house renovation and a two story addition in the rear made this home more accommodating and enjoyable for the owner. Also included was a much longer driveway with a covered carport area in the rear. A new kitchen in the existing house, exposed columns,  open floor-space and new flooring really updated this older home. The two story addition in the rear accommodated a study/office, master bedroom & bath, sitting room, powder room and a beautiful winding staircase.

Webster St.: Another older New Orleans home that received a complete downstairs apartment build-out including a new kitchen and floor-plan.

Please take a look at our residential photo page to view this customers excellent taste in some custom "Vintage" face bowls and wall faucets.

Metairie Ct/Lake Area: This two story sunroom addition replaced a one story sunroom. The customer wanted "Windows with a view", and they got it. The "Kolbe & Kolbe" windows were a chore to install, but were a perfect choice for this application. These windows have a high wind resistance and are all made out of low "E" (for reduced light and temperature penetration) and tempered glass. I have to admit, I had fun lifting the 2nd story windows with a 30' Extend-a-Reach forklift (a big boys toy). This project also included a custom made cabinets and some nice millwork around an old mantle that the customer wanted installed. Photos of this project are an the residential photo page also.

Crane Rehabilitation Center:  This small commercial interior build-out was a pleasure to work on. Owners Sharon and Moe Crane knew exactly what they wanted. We met our completion deadline to accommodate their rapidly expanding business volume. 

Cafe' Sbisa: In the French Quarter, this restaurant now has more than just terrific food, it has beautiful renovated restrooms!!. You can see a small view of these restrooms in our Commercial photo album. The stained six panel doors, solid slate vanity tops, and French Quarter Green tile (accented with checker-board off white tiles) all work together for a New Orleans style decor finish. Owner Charles Napoli was not only a terrific customer, but did an excellent job designing this project. Thanks goes out to PCS employees Bill Hollett, Montz Blair, and Ernest Maloid for a job well done. I would also like to thank Danny and his installation crew from "The Floor Store" in Gretna for a great job on the tile and vanity tops. 

Bellair Dr.: In Orleans Parish, just past the Jefferson Parish line off Metairie Rd., this turned out to be a "Kodak Moment". Please glance at our photos of these bathroom renovations at our Photo Album page. The owner designed them herself and guided us through her ideas that ultimately created bathrooms that should be displayed in a Home magazine. Both bathrooms were completely gutted and replaced with; a whirlpool tub with marble tile surround, a custom shower constructed from marble tile and a glass surround, granite vanity tops with vintage sinks and wall mounted faucets, new paint, and marble tile flooring. Thanks to all PCS employees involved and our great sub's for a project that demanded "attention to detail".

View Photos.

Elegant Illusions, Riverwalk Mall: This commercial retail build-out came as a surprise to us. The customer found our electrician through another referral, and then our electrician referred them to us (who said networking didn't work). We gutted out the previous tenants existing layout and worked off of the prints supplied by the customers Architect to complete their proposed floor plan. Elegant Illusions is a retail jewelry chain with another store in the Quarter off of Bourbon St.. If your in the Riverwalk please stop by their store and see what they have to offer (they custom make their own jewelry). Thanks goes out to "Ernest Maloid", PCS Journeyman, for a job well done!! I will try to take some photos of this project and place them within our commercial photo gallery for your viewing. Please read the appreciation letter in our newsletter. Thanks Gavin!!
