Dependable Kitchen Renovation in Gretna, LA
Gretna’s housing goes back to the early 1800s, and a kitchen in a house that old asks different questions than one in a new build. We answer them before anything is ordered.
Which Kitchen Services Do We Offer in Gretna?
Five services, one team, and a free estimate on every one of them in Gretna.
Drawn Around the Way You Cook
A Gretna design has to reconcile early-1800s walls with everything a modern kitchen needs. That reconciliation is most of the work, and it happens on paper first.
Custom, Refaced or Refinished
Cabinetry in Gretna’s oldest housing is a bespoke problem rather than a catalogue one. Where the boxes are sound, refacing gives you the change without the fight.
Measured, Fabricated and Fitted
Old Gretna kitchens often have runs that are neither straight nor level. Templating against the room rather than the drawing is what makes the finished edge sit right.
More Kitchen, Same Footprint
Many Gretna kitchens are small because the houses are old, not because the plot is. Storage and layout carry the improvement here.
The Room That Keeps the Kitchen Clear
Pantries were not standard when these houses were built. Creating storage where there was none is the change people notice within a week.
What Makes a Gretna Kitchen Different?
Three things about houses here shape the plan before anyone talks about style.
- Early 1800s Housing
Age in the Walls
Gretna’s history runs back to the early 1800s, and the older housing stock shows it. Runs of cabinetry rarely meet an old wall cleanly, so scribing and filling are part of the work rather than an extra.
- Across the River
The West Bank Changes the Run
Gretna sits on the west bank directly across from New Orleans, which puts the river between the job and much of the metro. We plan deliveries and inspections around that rather than around it going wrong.
- A Close-Knit Community
Work That Gets Talked About
Gretna prides itself on being close-knit, and on a street like that the last kitchen we finished is the reference. That is a reasonable standard to be held to.
Why Use a Local Contractor in Gretna?
Four things change when the crew already works Jefferson Parish.
-
We Get There Quickly
Gretna is inside the area our crews already cover, so a site visit is a short trip rather than a special one. That shows up in how fast the estimate comes back.
-
We Know What the Houses Here Do
Gretna’s history runs back to the early 1800s, and the older housing stock shows it Housing stock, humidity and the way older service runs behave are local knowledge rather than something read off a spec sheet..
-
One Point of Contact
You get a dedicated project manager rather than a list of numbers for separate trades. There is one person to ask and one person answerable for the schedule.
-
Free Estimates Across the Area
Estimates are free on all our services, in Gretna and in Metairie, Harahan and River Ridge alongside it. Nothing about the first visit costs you anything.

What Brings Gretna Homeowners to the Phone?
Three things we hear more often in Gretna than anywhere else we work.
Early 1800s Walls and Modern Appliances
Gretna’s oldest housing predates everything a modern kitchen needs. Getting appliances, services and cabinetry to agree inside those walls is most of the job.
A Kitchen That Has Run Out of Room
Older Gretna houses were not built with pantries. Height, corners and pull-out fittings are where the storage comes from.
Wanting Someone Who Works the West Bank
Plenty of contractors quote the west bank and then never cross the river. We work Gretna as part of the same run as Metairie and Harahan.
What Do Our Finished New Orleans Kitchens Look Like?
Six rooms on film, one after another. Different budgets, different footprints, the same team on site.
How Does a Gretna Kitchen Project Run?
Three stages, and the first one costs nothing.
- Step One
Contact Us
Tell us how you want the kitchen in Gretna to work, through the contact form or by phone. We schedule a consultation and visit the site when the room calls for it.
- Step Two
Consultation and Planning
You receive a tailored plan and estimate, with the layout, the selections and the storage set out together. Anything touching electrical, plumbing or structure needs a permit from Jefferson Parish, and we manage that application ourselves.
- Step Three
Project Execution
Jefferson Transit runs bus services through Gretna on a number of routes, and the Algiers Ferry crosses to New Orleans. Our own team starts work once the contract is approved, keeps you updated as each stage clears, and closes with a final inspection.
How Do You Plan a Kitchen Remodel in Gretna?
Three things worth settling before the first cabinet is ordered here.
-
Assume Nothing Is Square
Early-1800s walls are not a defect, they are the starting condition. Building the tolerance into the plan is cheaper than discovering it on fitting day.
-
Check Who Actually Crosses the River
Plenty of firms quote the west bank and then never come. Ask how the site visits will be scheduled before you sign anything.
-
Find the Storage in the Height
When the floor area is fixed, the wall is what is left. Taking cabinetry up is the cheapest storage in most Gretna kitchens.
