Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need historic district approval for my project?

If your building is within the Warehouse District Historic District, exterior changes, roof work, and facade modifications require City approval. Interior remodels usually don't, but we verify on-site.

What's involved in converting a raw warehouse space to a loft?

Structural assessment, HVAC & utilities, drywall/finishing, flooring, and code compliance (ADA, egress, fire safety). We coordinate all trades and keep exposed architectural details when they add character.

How do building events like Mardi Gras affect my project?

Street closures and crowd control can limit access and deliveries. We schedule around major events and adjust material staging to keep work moving without disruption to neighborhood gatherings.

Can you work on buildings with limited street parking?

Yes. We coordinate with building management, use alley access where available, and schedule deliveries off-peak. Warehouse District access challenges are routine for us.

Do you handle screen porch installations on loft balconies?

Yes. We frame, measure, and install custom screened enclosures that complement loft architecture and meet building codes, including wind-load requirements for hurricane season.

What should I know before buying a historic warehouse building?

Structural integrity, flood risk (elevation matters near the river), code compliance, and future renovation costs. We recommend a pre-purchase assessment so surprises don't derail your investment.
