Abita Springs is known for being a little bit different, and we love that about our clients here. If you're looking to upgrade your Abita home, you probably have questions about how to keep its character intact.
From historic cottages near the Abita Brew Pub to more modern homes tucked into the pines, we understand the varied landscape of this town. These FAQs cover how we approach unique projects that require a bit more creativity than your average suburban renovation.
Our services in Abita Springs are highly customized to fit the eclectic and artistic atmosphere of the community. We offer specialized restoration work for historic siding and wood trim, along with custom interior builds that utilize reclaimed materials or unique hardware that reflects the "Abita style." We also focus heavily on porch culture, providing structural reinforcements and aesthetic upgrades for the wraparound porches that are so iconic to this area of St. Tammany Parish.
In addition to restoration, we offer creative lighting and color consultations that help homeowners express their personal style without clashing with the neighborhood’s charm. We understand that Abita Springs residents often want something that feels handmade and high-quality, not mass-produced. Our team works with a "boutique" mindset, ensuring that every crown molding choice or floor finish is selected to enhance the unique architectural DNA of your specific property.
Yes, major remodels are one of our specialties, particularly when it comes to the complex needs of older Abita Springs cottages. These homes often require significant work behind the walls—such as leveling, modernizing electrical systems, and upgrading insulation—to make them comfortable for modern living. We take pride in the "invisible" work that makes a home last another hundred years, while ensuring the visible renovation stays true to the home’s original soul and historical context.
When tackling a large remodel in Abita, we prioritize structural integrity and long-term protection against wood rot and termites, which are common issues in our wooded environment. Our project managers work closely with you to ensure that the layout changes you want (like opening up a cramped kitchen or adding a master suite) are achieved without compromising the structural stability of the historic frame. We treat these projects as a partnership between our craftsmanship and your creative vision.
Absolutely! We love the smaller "character" projects that define the homes in Abita Springs. Whether you need a single room repainted with a bold new palette, a custom set of shelves for your home studio, or a full restoration of your front porch decking, we are ready to help. We believe that these smaller improvements are what give a home its personality, and we bring the same level of artisan care to a small bathroom refresh as we do to a whole-house build.
Small-scale decor projects in Abita often involve finding creative ways to use existing spaces more efficiently. We can help you reimagined a sunroom, update your window treatments for better energy efficiency, or install new, stylish fixtures that pay homage to the town’s historic roots. No project is too small for our team if it helps you love the home you live in even more than you already do.
Broad Meadow is the right choice because we don’t try to force a "standard" suburban look onto the unique homes of Abita Springs. We understand that this town values authenticity and creativity, and we reflect those values in our work. While many contractors only know how to do one type of modern remodel, our crew is skilled in a variety of techniques that allow us to preserve historic features while still providing modern performance and durability.
Furthermore, we are committed to being a transparent and reliable part of the Northshore community. We offer detailed quotes, realistic timelines, and a clean worksite, which is something many "independent" contractors in the area struggle to provide. Choosing us means you get the best of both worlds: the reliability and organization of a professional firm with the artistic sensitivity and personal touch of a local craftsman who truly cares about the Abita Springs landscape.
