The Method
Six stages. One steady rhythm.
From the first walkthrough to the day we hand you the warranty, every Sutherland project moves through the same six phases. You'll always know which one you're in — and what comes next.
“Sutherland Construction rebuilt our Bywater kitchen from the studs out — new layout, custom cabinets, the whole thing. Every week we had photos, a clear update on where things stood, and a crew that showed up when they said they would. The kitchen has been done for two years and nothing has moved.”
Where We Work
Built for every New Orleans neighborhood
Every New Orleans neighborhood has its own architectural language — shotgun double, Creole cottage, raised center hall, mid-century ranch.
We've worked on most of them, from the French Quarter to the lake.

FAQ
What New Orleans homeowners ask us
A few of the questions we hear most often — about licensing, cost, scope, and getting started.
Yes. Sutherland Construction is a licensed, insured general contractor based in New Orleans. We carry general liability and workers' compensation on every project, pull all required permits, and build to current Louisiana code. License and insurance certificates are available on request.
We remodel homes throughout Greater New Orleans — Uptown, the Garden District, Bywater, Mid-City, Lakeview, Carrollton, and the surrounding neighborhoods — along with Metairie, Kenner, and the nearby Jefferson Parish communities. If your home is in the metro, we can almost certainly help.
It depends on scope and finish level — we price by the square foot, so here's how New Orleans projects usually break down. A bathroom runs about $14,000–$35,000 for a standard remodel, or up to roughly $55,000 for premium finishes like stone, a steam shower, or relocated plumbing. A kitchen runs about $32,000–$80,000 for most renovations, with premium and gut-to-studs work reaching $125,000 or more. Whole-home renovations generally start around $100,000 and climb with the size of the house and the depth of structural and systems work. Older homes — shotguns, doubles, and historic properties — often surface electrical, plumbing, or structural work that moves the number, which is why we walk the space before we quote. Either way, you'll know your single fixed all-in price — labor, materials, subcontractors, and allowances in one figure — before we lift a hammer.

That covers kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, flooring installation, and exterior home upgrades — roofing, siding, and windows. One general contractor holds the project from the first walkthrough through the final warranty.
It starts with a free in-home consultation — a conversation, not a sales pitch. We walk the space with you, talk honestly about scope and budget, and only then put together a detailed estimate. You can book online in a couple of minutes or call us directly.
Yes. Permitting is part of our scope on every project — we pull the permits, coordinate parish inspections, and maintain the permit file. In New Orleans historic districts, we're familiar with HDLC review and build its timeline into the schedule from the start.
