Big EZ Renovations serves homeowners and business owners across Gretna with a full range of renovation services. As Jefferson Parish’s seat and one of the Westbank’s most established communities, Gretna has a housing stock that ranges from historic shotgun homes in McDonoghville to modern builds in newer subdivisions. Each style demands a contractor who understands local building codes, parish permitting, and the challenges that come with renovating in South Louisiana’s climate. That is exactly what we do.
We hold both residential (License #890459) and commercial (License #3667) contractor licenses. Whether you need a roof coating on a flat-top commercial building on Belle Chasse Highway or a full kitchen remodel in a home off Huey P. Long Avenue, our crew handles it from consultation through final walkthrough.

We bring every trade under one roof so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors. Here is what we offer Gretna homeowners and businesses:
Gretna sits in one of Louisiana’s highest-risk zones for hurricane and hail damage. We handle hail damage roof repair, full roof replacements, shingle roofing, roof coatings, and roof inspections. We also help homeowners navigate Louisiana roof insurance claims after storm damage and can advise on FORTIFIED roof certification, which can reduce your insurance premiums by 20-60%.
Kitchen remodels are the most requested interior project in Gretna. Many homes built in the 1950s through 1980s have dated layouts with closed-off kitchens. We open walls, install modern cabinetry, upgrade countertops to granite or quartz, and handle all plumbing and electrical. A full kitchen renovation in the Greater New Orleans area typically runs $15,000 to $50,000 depending on scope and materials. Read more about our kitchen renovation services.
From guest bath updates to full primary bathroom overhauls, we handle tile work, fixture upgrades, vanity installation, and accessibility modifications. Gretna’s older homes often need plumbing updates when renovating bathrooms, and our team manages that alongside the finish work. Learn about our bathroom renovation services.
South Louisiana’s long outdoor season makes outdoor kitchens one of the best investments for Gretna homeowners. We build custom setups with built-in grills, counters, sinks, and refrigeration. We also construct outdoor decks, patios, and pergolas designed to handle Louisiana humidity and storms.
We provide both interior and exterior painting services. Gretna’s humidity and UV exposure break down exterior paint faster than in drier climates. We use marine-grade and high-moisture-rated paints formulated for the Gulf Coast environment.
Many Gretna properties, especially in the historic district and along the riverfront, feature wrought iron fencing and decorative gates. We handle gate installation and repair, custom ironwork, and structural welding for both residential and commercial properties.
Complete your renovation with professional landscaping and sod installation. We repair yards damaged during construction and install fresh turf to match the finished look of your property.
Gretna is not New Orleans proper, but it faces the same renovation challenges: high humidity, hurricane exposure, aging housing stock, and strict local codes. Here is why our Gretna clients keep coming back:
The City of Gretna requires building permits for most renovation work, including roofing, structural modifications, fencing, carports, storage sheds, and permanently installed generators. Permits are processed through the City of Gretna permitting portal. Interior cosmetic updates like painting and minor fixture replacements generally do not require permits.
Properties in the Gretna Historic District (including the McDonoghville and Mechanikham neighborhoods) may face additional review requirements for exterior modifications. We understand these requirements and factor them into project planning so your renovation moves forward without delays.
Gretna is the parish seat of Jefferson Parish, located on the Westbank of the Mississippi River directly across from Uptown New Orleans. The city has a population of approximately 17,814 and covers about 4 square miles. It was incorporated in 1913 from three original settlements: McDonoghville (founded 1815), Mechanickham (founded 1836), and the Gretna settlement (established 1838).
The city is known for its walkable historic district, proximity to the Westbank Expressway and Crescent City Connection, and a mix of historic and mid-century residential neighborhoods. Gretna homeowners value both preservation and modernization, which is why renovation services are consistently in demand here.
Most structural work, roofing, and exterior modifications require a City of Gretna building permit. Cosmetic interior work like painting and fixture swaps typically does not. We handle permit applications as part of our project management when they are required.
Costs vary widely by scope. A bathroom remodel typically runs $8,000 to $25,000, a kitchen renovation $15,000 to $50,000, and a full roof replacement $8,000 to $15,000 depending on materials and roof size. We provide detailed written estimates before any work begins.
A single-room renovation (bathroom or kitchen) usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. A full home renovation with multiple rooms and exterior work can take 2 to 4 months. Weather delays are common during hurricane season (June through November), so we recommend scheduling major exterior work in spring or fall when possible.
Yes. Gretna’s historic district includes shotgun homes, Creole cottages, and early 20th-century residences. We have experience renovating these structures while respecting their architectural character and meeting any additional review requirements for properties in the historic district.
We serve the entire Greater New Orleans area including Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, and more. See our full service area list.
