GRETNA
C3NOLA is a licensed general contractor working HDLC districts, the French Quarter under the Vieux Carre Commission, and the Gretna Historic District. We repair first, match existing, and replace what can't be saved.
Slate and clay ridge tiles stay if they're there now. Architectural shingles often work where it already exists. The VCC allows approved materials and colors only.
Wood or Aeratis on the front, matched to the existing profile. Hardie can often go on the sides and back. Trim stays wood.
Columns, railings, and ironwork matched to what's there. The commission is picky. So are we. Decking in wood or Aeratis.
Original millwork repaired and kept. When a piece can't be saved, we have it custom made to match.
Matched to existing. Usually half-round with round downspouts.
Stucco repairs blended to match original texture and finish. HDLC doesn't control paint color, but the VCC does, down to the exact shade. Weathered paint can't be color matched, so we dig up prior permits to find it.
Historic approvals and City permits. We file them and build to what gets approved.
