Specialties
MLM Custom Homes and Renovations combines high-end craftsmanship with true start-to-finish accountability. Unlike many contractors, we operate as a design-build firm, managing planning, permitting, construction, and final execution under one roof so clients aren't left coordinating multiple parties.
We take on complex projects others avoid—historic renovations, major home additions, custom kitchens and baths, and full custom homes—and approach each with careful planning, disciplined project management, and close attention to detail. All subcontractors are thoroughly vetted, fully licensed, and held to the same standards we expect of our own team.
We are experienced in HDLC and Vieux Carré Commission permitting and Certificate of Appropriateness submissions for historic district projects throughout New Orleans.
Our work has earned consistent industry recognition, including multiple Best of Houzz awards (including 2025), Best of Home by New Orleans Magazine, the Angie's List Super Service Award, and national recognition for kitchen and bath remodeling. We are also proud to maintain an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. Most importantly, we focus on clear communication, realistic timelines, and lasting quality, delivering projects that respect both our clients' vision and the architectural character of New Orleans homes.
We serve homeowners throughout Uptown, Garden District, Lakeview, Mid-City, Metairie, Marigny, Bywater, and the Northshore.
History
Established in 2006.
MLM Custom Homes and Renovations was founded in 2006 to provide a higher level of accountability, craftsmanship, and project management than what many homeowners experienced with traditional contractors. From the beginning, the company focused on taking full ownership of the construction process—planning, coordination, and execution—rather than piecing projects together through disconnected vendors.
Starting with renovations and remodels, MLM steadily grew into custom home construction, major additions, and historic restorations, building a reputation for tackling complex projects and delivering consistent results.
Today, MLM continues to operate with the same principles it was founded on: disciplined project management, skilled craftsmanship, and clear communication, while respecting the architectural character and construction challenges unique to South Louisiana homes.
