Trusted General Contractor & Foundation Repair in New Orleans | Richard Earls Construction

In New Orleans, we see frequent water damage from kitchen sink leaks, monsoon-driven rain, attic condensation, and garage flooding. Our approach starts with a full inspection to identify the water source and affected areas. We then dry, treat, and restore the space—whether it's a garage, attic, or interior room. For monsoon damage, we often reinforce drainage and seal entry points. Our team ensures the structure is safe, mold-free, and properly dried before finishing. We've handled these issues in many neighborhoods, including Mid-City and Gentilly, where older homes are more vulnerable.

Termite damage is a serious concern for many New Orleans homes, especially historic properties. Our services include foundation repair, leveling, raising, and shoring to correct damage caused by wood-eating pests. We replace compromised beams, sister joists, and install new foundation supports as needed. For example, in the French Quarter and Marigny, we often work on raised foundations where termites have weakened structural timbers. We also address any secondary issues like rot or moisture that attract termites, ensuring long-term stability.

Yes, we handle all types of additions, including new bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen expansions, and even full second-story additions. Whether you're in Lakeview needing extra living space or in Uptown adding a guest suite, we manage everything from foundation work through final finishing. We design the addition to match your home's existing style and comply with local codes, ensuring the new structure blends with the neighborhood's character.
