"Initially, I thought Gerardo was the contractor for us. He was very nice, seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy. We needed a full renovation for an investment property that we were going to purchase. I am a licensed realtor/investor. Gerardo came over with his crew and promised to get us an estimate in 1 week. 2 weeks passed. During that time, I called him everyday, no answer. I went to put in an offer on the house and suddenly it was pending sale. The house came with all materials to repair within purchase price and most work had already been done. Every bone in my body is telling me that Gerardo snaked us and either took the property for himself or has something to do with the house being snatched from us. He refused to take my or my husbands calls to this day. This company is not trust worthy and definitely not investor reliable. Would not recommend to anyone!"

SES is a locally owned and operated company that specializes in bathrooms and kitchens, home remodeling, renovation, and commercial construction services. Our company is licensed and insured, which means you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with hiring a reputable contractor.
"SES was hired to restore an old building in the Marigny based on architectural plans. The project took twice as long as necessary and was a financial disaster for several reasons. 1). At the last minute, SES brought in a foreman who had never run a job site. Imagine the lack of judgment to trusting a project of this size to someone who had so little experience. He was directly responsible for major mistakes in construction such as attaching a balcony incorrectly, mismanagement of subs, and framing mistakes. He was fired after my job but that’s too late. No one stepped up to help when he was blundering. Shawn who runs the firm was invisible as the mistakes compounded. 2). Ses had taken in way more business as a firm than they could handle and were behind and struggling on multiple projects. We almost had a full support group with all the projects faltering. Once the project became a disaster, the real nonsense began. Their mistakes had driven their cost out of control. They decided to make the wrong decision and pressured all subs into cutting costs and look for anything to upcharge. They stopped showing up to finish the job. Currently, a full two years after the work was competed, I have 1). wooden Spanish cedar columns splitting apart and needing repair. 2). A roof and brick wall that is leaking because they were too cheap to put a proper cap on a new brick wall and roof. Perry is the guy who quotes and promises you the world, the second things go wrong, he says “I’m just an estimator”. Perry’s word is no guarantee. Don’t fall for the charm of this team as they are ruthlessly about the money. God forbid they make mistakes, they are not gonna make it right. Zero warranty or help fixing these problems. No ownership or offer of doing the work at cost. If they bother to come back with a quote, it is a absurdly predatory prices. Zero remorse for building, installing, and painting these columns which are falling apart. If you do business with these guys I suggest you have an incredibly tight contract with time limits and a good lawyer to fight after they make mistakes. As for all the positive reviews on Angie’s, they have an office staff that must be cranking them out cause I have had quite a different experience."

"My second floor was sinking toward the middle of the house. Charlie determined what needed to be done and had his men start the process of jacking up the second floor and installing the support needed since when originally built, the load bearing walls did not have the support needed. Despite being very busy, Charlie squeezed my job in and his guys showed up on time every day till the job was done. They were respectful, never slacked off, but worked constantly and cleaned up after themselves every day before they left. They did a great job! This was a very unique and difficult problem to resolve but Charlie and his crew did it and did it well and at a very reasonable cost. I am so happy with the job they did and will definitely hire them again."

Start by asking a local contractor, architect, or interior designer for a detailed line‑item estimate. These pros can price out labor, materials, permits, and any specialty work, then flag areas where you can save. Once you have that breakdown, add 20% to the total to cover potential surprises, such as hidden water damage or code upgrades. This approach gives you a realistic budget before the first hammer swings.
In most cases, remodeling wins on price. Because you’re reusing the existing structure, you avoid foundation work, framing an entire shell, and many permit fees. Unless the home has severe structural problems, updating what you already own is the more budget‑friendly route than building an entirely new house from scratch.
Home renovation timelines hinge on scope. Cosmetic updates—such as new paint, fixtures, or flooring—can be completed in a few days or weeks. A multi-room gut renovation that involves moving walls or utilities can stretch to six months, and adding square footage can push the schedule past a year. Good planning and a clear contractor schedule help keep projects on track, so be sure to build extra time into the calendar for permit reviews and unforeseen repairs.
Before your home renovation work begins, contact your insurance agent to confirm that your current policy covers the project. Standard homeowners insurance usually protects against fire or storm damage during construction, but bigger upgrades—adding square footage, high‑end finishes, or new systems—can raise your home’s value beyond existing limits. If coverage falls short, ask about a renovation rider or a policy increase so you’re fully protected from day one to final walkthrough.
