Residential Contracting Services
Tile & Flooring
We install tile and flooring with a focus on clean layout, proper prep, and long-term durability—whether as part of a bathroom renovation or a full-home facelift.
Plumbing
Our plumbing work is carefully coordinated within larger renovation projects to ensure everything functions correctly, passes inspection, and supports the finished design.
Painting
From smooth ceiling finishes to full interior repaints, our painting work is precise, professional, and designed to modernize spaces without cutting corners.
Custom Cabinetry
Custom cabinetry provides tailored storage and built-in features that maximize functionality, fit your space precisely, and elevate the overall look and finish of your home.
Electrical & Lighting
We install recessed and modern lighting as part of coordinated renovations, improving both functionality and the overall feel of the space.
Finishing
Finish work is where our attention to detail shows - clean lines, proper materials, and a final result that feels complete and intentional.
Full-Home Interior Facelifts
For homeowners looking to modernize their entire interior, we regularly complete full-home facelifts that dramatically update the look and feel of a space. Common projects include popcorn ceiling removal, smooth ceiling finishes, recessed puck lighting, updated flooring, coordinated painting, and layout-conscious upgrades that make older homes feel current and cohesive.
Historic Home Interior Renovation
New Orleans homes require a different level of care, especially historic properties. Our team understands how to assess aging materials, work within original construction methods, and renovate interiors while preserving character and integrity. The goal is never to erase history, but to improve livability while respecting what makes the home special.
INTERIOR REMODELING
Experience Matters When Projects Get Complicated
Many interior renovations uncover surprises behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings—especially in older homes. Our broader experience with large-scale projects, roofing, and post-hurricane renovations gives us the perspective to navigate those moments calmly and correctly.
Following Hurricane Ida alone, we renovated over 200 homes—many involving full interior gut renovations and insurance coordination. That experience informs how we plan, sequence, and protect interior projects today.
A Process Designed to Reduce Stress
Interior renovations often fail not because of craftsmanship, but because of poor coordination. We approach each project as a managed system—not a collection of disconnected tasks.
You can expect:
- Clear project scope and expectations
- Organized scheduling and trade coordination
- Clean, professional job sites
- Practical communication throughout the renovation
This structured approach allows homeowners to stay informed without being buried in decisions or daily disruptions.
Led by a Third-Generation Contractor
NOLA Builders is owned and operated by Caleb Hensley, a third-generation contractor who began learning the trades at a young age while surrounded by large-scale construction projects. That background shows up in the details—how work is planned, how teams are managed, and how problems are solved when conditions aren’t perfect.
