Esplanade Ave. in the Quarter:
This huge historical house on Esplanade needs some serious
TLC. Both 1st and 2nd story balcony's will get rotten wood replaced/repaired on
the columns, handrails, and steps. The entire front of the house will be
painted.
Project Update: The upper balcony is just about
complete, with rotten wood repairs and painting. The lower porch has received
some prep and painting, but due to extensive termite damage discovered, three of
the columns had to be completely replaced. The columns were
constructed by PCS carpenter "Walter Godfrey" at our shop in Gretna.
Walter is currently working on rebuilding the historic handrails.

Historical Old-Gretna:
This clients home was threatened to be demolished by the Parish. PCS has
achieved getting the ruling overturned by supplying a "Fair Market Value"
report, elevation certificate, and updated survey, all to show that this
historical landmark is well worth restoration. A complete historical restoration
will bring this old shotgun "barge-board" structure back to life.
Project Update: Plumbing and electrical rough-ins are
complete, central HVAC installed, old wood windows repaired/refurbished, rotten
wood repaired/replaced, insulation blown-in, drywall hung, gutters repaired,
porches re-built, and the exterior is receiving it's final coat of paint. A
screen side porch is being constructed as an "Extra Work Order" along with iron
handrails on the front porch. This project should be substantially complete by
the end of June.
