"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"I absolutely this company, Upon seeing I needed a roof, RH & MS contacted me. They came immediately to patch the hole created by Hurricane Ida. Mr. Mike worked with me with the FEMA process. Once approved by FEMA, Mr. Mike came with his crew and fixed my roof in 1 day. I find Mr. Mike and company totally professional and courteous. He worked with me with the money FEMA gave me. He took the time to come in my house to see if any water damage was in any room. Mr. Mike was patient with me, explained everything clearly and thoroughly of what was going to be done. I am a senior and his courtesy and patience is so appreciated. He was timely, efficient and a job very well done. For the money, they did an excellent job. The new roof is of excellent quality. the detail to the new roof was so very satisfying. I would definitely recommend RG & MS to anyone. Any home project that I need, I will only call this company. They are punctual, patient and made me feel totally at ease and sure that the work they said they would do was done quickly and efficiently. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Mike. He was and is so kind."

"Samuel was an excellent person to work with. His crew were on time, they did an outstanding job. They cleaned up everything. Samuel was there with his crew the majority of the time making sure everything we spoke about was done! His price to replace, the roof, all the boards around and under the roof and paint was lower than other estimates I got to just replace my roof. I am over the moon how beautiful my house looks and the job they done! Hire this crew and Samuel for any job you need done. You will be so glad you did! Thank Samuel"

"They did an amazing job building my fence. The father and son team were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. They showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the whole process, and made sure everything was built strong and looked great. You can really tell they take pride in their work. The fence came out exactly how I wanted. Sturdy, clean, and high quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and skilled craftsmanship."

"I give Trever an A+ rating for multiple reasons. His work is excellent. He is honest and his prices are very good. He is a professional and will advise when he knows a better, as sometimes less expensive way, of completing a job. Additionally, he does not waste time which means you get maximum return for what you pay him. TMJ Construction is now my first choice when I need to have repairs done. Finally, Trever is just a nice guy."

"The installation went very well, so much so, I hired Malcolm to come back to install shutters. Malcolm is honest and straight up. He works hard. I cannot tell you how many times I have had things done only to have the job done half way, the material substandard, etc. It has been a long time since I have found someone like Malcolm and his crew. I would definitely hire him again. This service was done a little over a year ago. I like to wait to review to make sure of the project. Thank you, Malcolm."

"Thanks to Dennis Ayala and the crew at NOLA Welding works for my beautiful custom-made powder-coated wrought iron fence, gate with arbor, and cedar fence. I am very satisfied with the quality of the work done and that everything was met to my exact specifications. Dennis and his crew were respectful and polite with good communications throughout the process. I highly recommend his company for any wrought iron work or fencing needs."

FAQs for addition to existing structure building service projects in Gretna, LA

You can typically raise your roof by four to eight feet, depending on your home's structure and roof design. The exact amount depends on factors like roof slope and framing support. Raising the roof creates additional interior space, enhances natural light, and increases your home's value. Consult a professional to determine the feasible height increase for your home.

Yes, you need a building permit to raise your roof. Obtaining a building permit ensures your project complies with local building codes and safety regulations. A professional contractor can assist with the permit and inspection process and ensure all legal and safety requirements are met. Your contractor will be familiar with building codes in your area, which can differ between cities or states.

While it's possible to raise a flat roof, it requires extensive structural modifications. Flat roofs lack the attic space and support structures of pitched roofs, so raising them involves significant engineering to ensure safety and durability. This process can be complex and costly, so professional assessment is essential before undertaking a project of this magnitude.
