What started around a few windows turned into a much more extensive exterior repair on this home in the Sherwood Forest area of Baton Rouge.

Water had been getting in around the existing windows and pooling beside the home, causing significant rot throughout the wall. In addition to the wall, there was significant rot found on a structual beam on the back covered patio. Once everything was opened up, we also found evidence of previous termite damage, although there was no active infestation.

We removed and replaced the damaged materials, repaired the rotten beam, rebuilt the exterior wall, and installed new Hardie siding. We also replaced three fixed windows with two operable windows, improving the appearance of the home while adding more function and ventilation to the room.

Since the room was being used as a guest bedroom and storage space, we made sure the inside was properly finished as well. After changing the window layout, we completed the necessary insulation, drywall and trim repairs and repainted the interior. The exterior was then painted to tie everything together.

This project is a good example of why it’s important to address water intrusion early. What appears to be a small problem on the surface can sometimes reveal much more once the wall is opened.

One of the things I enjoy most about this business is earning the trust of clients who continue to call us back when they need something done right.

Over the past several months, we've had the opportunity to complete several different projects at Juban's Restaurant. None of them were flashy, but every one of them mattered.

Some of the work involved replacing worn kitchen floor tile in one of the hardest-working areas of the building. We also installed seven new dedicated electrical circuits to help support the restaurant's event space as their needs continue to grow.

The largest project was inside the Hallelujah Bar.

Like many renovation projects, once we opened things up, we discovered issues that couldn't be ignored. Our team carefully removed damaged materials, corrected hidden framing and plumbing deficiencies, installed moisture-resistant wall systems, rebuilt the affected millwork, and restored everything to blend seamlessly with the existing space. By the time we were finished, you couldn't tell where the repairs had been made—and that's exactly the way we like it.

The best construction work often isn't the part people notice. It's the work behind the walls, beneath the floors, and in the details that ensure a space will continue performing well for years to come.

A sincere thank you to the team at Juban's Restaurant for trusting JDM Construction with these improvements. We don't take that trust lightly, and we're grateful to play a small part in helping maintain one of Baton Rouge's most recognizable restaurants.

Whether it's a home renovation, a commercial project, or solving problems that others overlook, our goal is always the same: build it right, communicate well, and leave our clients better off than when we arrived.

If you have a project you'd like to discuss, we'd love the opportunity to earn your business.

Final Reveal – Bellingrath Hills (Central, LA)

This one came together FAST… from demo to finished in under 2 days.

We had the opportunity to update this home’s kitchen, 1/2 bath, and fireplace—and the transformation speaks for itself.

✨ New quartz countertops
✨ Updated backsplash
✨ New plumbing fixtures
✨ Electrical outlets replaced in splash
✨ Gas cooktop install
✨ 33” enameled cast iron sink

To tie it all together, we carried the same quartz into the fireplace and 1/2 bath for a clean, cohesive look.

No layout changes—just the right upgrades in the right places… and a BIG difference because of it.

Huge credit to the homeowner for selecting materials that completely brightened and refreshed the space.

A little sneak peek 🫣 from our recent renovation in Bellingrath Lakes!

We swapped out the old granite surround and hearth and carried the new quartz from the kitchen right over to the fireplace to tie everything together.

Same layout—completely different feel!

Simple change, but it really changed the vibe of this living area!!

This half bath got a simple but powerful upgrade—and it completely changed the feel of the space.

Cleaner finishes, better flow, and a look that actually fits the home now.

If you’ve got a space like this that needs a refresh, let’s talk.

This home’s exterior was worn out, weathered, and begging for a reset!! So, we quickly got to work and brought some much needed life into these old bones! I’ll keep working on my photography skills 😂 … but I’m pretty confident we nailed this transformation!!

We wrapped up this 1/2 bath, kitchen and fireplace update recently and this one was a fun one to see come together. The clients were amazing to work with and their selection really were top notch!

We pulled out the old countertops, backsplash, and fireplace surround and gave everything a fresh look. New quartz, new backsplash, updated some plumbing and electrical fixtures, and we tied the fireplace surround in to match the kitchen.

Nothing crazy structural—just good, clean updates that made a big difference in the space.

Here’s what it looked like before along with a sneak peak of the quartz selected…

(Stay tuned for progress pics and the final reveal)

Right in the middle of this transformation…

Once the vinyl siding came off, we found a few areas that needed to be addressed—including some wall sections that had to be repaired before moving forward. Not the glamorous part of the job, but it’s what makes the finished product last.

From there, we got the house wrap and Hardie siding installed and ready for paint. This is where things start to take shape and you can really see the direction of the project.

If you’ve got an exterior that needs updating, now’s a good time to start planning—happy to take a look and help however I can!
