Build Your Vision.

Reliable construction that respects your vision—and the structure

We specialize in restoring, renovating, and building with intention. Our work is rooted in thoughtful design, expert carpentry, and material choices that preserve character while solving problems for the long haul. We fix what others can’t—or won’t—and we do it with care.

Our clients include homeowners, architects, designers, and contractors who value skilled craftsmanship, proactive communication, and long-lasting results. From masonry to custom millwork and built in storage, we've got what it takes to bring your vision to life.

OUR SERVICES

Construction with Integrity That Honors Your Vision—and Your Timeline

Old homes and complex builds come with surprises—we’re ready for them. At L. Laurent Construction, we specialize in high-quality restoration, renovation, and custom builds that hold up over time. Whether you're starting from scratch or fixing someone else’s work, we deliver smart, lasting solutions that respect your budget and elevate your space.

​

Historic Restoration

We match existing millwork and architectural features with precision—whether that’s recreating 19th-century trim or adding new storage that blends seamlessly into the original design. Built-in cabinetry, custom shelving, and media storage solutions are crafted to elevate, not distract. We follow VCC and historic preservation guidelines to ensure compliance and beauty.

Renovation

We update old spaces for efficiency, comfort, and safety. Renovations include sealing drafts, improving energy efficiency, correcting structural wear, and using smart, modern materials to deliver ergonomic, functional updates that stand the test of time.

Custom Build

If you can dream it, we can build it. We’re happy to collaborate with your designer or help guide design decisions based on our experience—so you get a result that fits your lifestyle and avoids common missteps. We love building bars, restaurants, and residential features with personality.

windows and doors

We restore, build, and install doors and windows with weather-resistant materials. Often, we bring back functionality most people didn’t know they were missing—like restoring full-height windows to open to galleries, as we did on the Ambrose project.

Custom Millwork

Doors, windows, trim, furniture, and built-ins—whatever your space needs to function better, look better, and last longer, we can craft it. Custom means designed for your life, not just your layout.

exterior repairs

We understand the unique challenges of New Orleans homes—settling, rot, non-standard framing, hidden damage—and we’re ready for it. We rebuild damaged façades, and restore design details like dentil molding, corbels, and porch ornamentation. Our goal is always the same: restore integrity and preserve beauty.
