"Vine & Dine" winery in Algiers Point:  If you've never been to Algiers Point, this is a reason to take a Saturday trip to the Westbank. "Vine & Dine" has so many different wines at VERY reasonable prices. The owner wants to start holding tasting and "sit & drink" accommodations for her clients, so a handicap bathroom was required by the city. Underground plumbing as well as new water lines are being installed along with a handicap toilet and facebowl. Project Update: All underground plumbing has been ran and the concrete slab has been re-poured. All water line rough-in is complete. The toilet and facebowl should be installed sometime before the end of January. Thanks Vanessa, a free wine tasting tour would be a great "end-of-job" bonus!!

S. Johnson St. in New Orleans Uptown:  A repeat PCS client had a major roof leak and was in need of immediate assistance & repairs. A flat roof with a poor design will be completely overlayed with a new slopped roof, making for better drainage. A new gutter system will also be installed. The laundry room, bathroom, and basement area will all be repaired with new insulation and new drywall. Everything will be painted along with new base & shoe molding. Project Update: The new roof system has been constructed along with the new gutters. The interior has been gutted, new insulation installed, drywall installed/taped/& floated, with only drywall finishing & painting remaining. We were glad to be here when you needed us Nils.

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.

This project is scheduled to start mid September with an anticipated job duration of approximately three months (just in time for Santa to try out the chimney!). Project Update: The building permit has been acquired, plumbing rough-in is complete, electrical rough-in is complete, and interior framing/restoration has begun.
