New Orleans General Contractor · Metairie — EST. 2012
Building Homes. Building New Orleans. Building Legacy.
Custom residential, commercial, roofing and investment construction — over two hundred projects across Greater New Orleans, every one of them signed, licensed and warrantied.
DuCar Construction is a family-run, fully licensed Louisiana builder. From first drawing to final walkthrough, we put everything in writing — the budget, the schedule, the warranty — and then we build it right.
Four disciplines. One signature.
Residential Construction
New builds and whole-home renovations, engineered to modern code and hurricane-rated standards — finished to the detail, backed by a builder warranty. Every new build is designed to meet the flood-elevation requirement that applies in its jurisdiction.

Commercial Construction
Build-outs, fit-outs and ground-up commercial work — delivered on a written budget and a written timeline, with updates at every milestone. Experienced with historic work in the French Quarter — we know how to work with the Vieux Carré Commission and pull the permits it requires.
Explore Commercial
Roofing
New roofs and reroofs, built for South Louisiana weather — the entire roof, wind-rated and done right the first time. DuCar is a FORTIFIED Contractor, certified to build to the IBHS FORTIFIED Roof™ standard — a designation that may reduce the hurricane portion of your premium.
Storm damage? We document visible damage and prepare a detailed construction estimate for you and your insurer. DuCar does not adjust claims.

The reputation, on record.
All the members of the DuCar Construction team were great, especially Angel and CJ. Knowledgeable, professional, flexible, and even on time!
The craftsmanship is impeccable and home inspectors tout their work — leaving home buyers impressed and satisfied with their purchase.
My project started when promised and ended when scheduled. It was the most smooth renovation I have ever done.
Everything they’ve done is fantastic. They’re honest, always backing up their work and their word. CJ and Angel are really good guys.
The team at DuCar is phenomenal. They provide quality work for a good price, and their customer service is superb. Great communication throughout the process.
They did an excellent job and were on time, very courteous and did not leave a mess during the whole process. Would definitely recommend DuCar.
