JLV Construction

Just finished a historic renovation in the Lower Garden District with JLV and couldn't be happier. They truly delivered on time and on budget. Jessica Leiva was an absolute superstar project manager – her attention to detail and dedication were incredible. The owner Jose was also a pleasure to work with, super knowledgable and felt personally invested in my project. I highly recommend JLV for any project, small or large.

JLV Construction | Custom Residential and Commercial Builder – New Orleans, LA After the passing of my mother, we were faced with the emotional and complex task of renovating her historic Creole Cottage in New Orleans. Choosing JLV Construction was the best decision we could have made. From the beginning, José L. Villeda’s vision, leadership, and expert advice were essential in resolving design issues as they came up. This was no ordinary project—it involved leveling the home, disassembling it to the studs, and rebuilding approximately 80% with new lumber while preserving its historic soul.

Outstanding Work – Highly Recommended! We recently hired JLV Contruction to redo both our front and back porches, build custom shelves, replace several doors and light fixtures, and paint both the interior and exterior of our home—and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. The craftsmanship on the porches is exceptional—solid, beautifully finished, and built to last. The custom shelves they built are not only functional but also a perfect match for our home's

Our exceptional team of professionals led by Trey Herkes who has a great eye for detail which matched mine as an interior architect/designer with Mario Escato as our on site project leader and Claudia Hurtado who made sure we stayed on budget and tracked all aspects of the project properly. The three of them ensured that the major renovation of our new home stayed on time (actually a couple of weeks early) and on budget. We are very pleased with the team and would highly recommend them.
