Renovation

Uptown Addition and Camelback

Perhaps “camelback” as a term sells this project short. In September, MBC completed an expansive addition and second story to this home Uptown. New foundations and structural assemblies were required to convert this modest single into the owner’s grand 2-story vision. The project included 4 and 1/2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, a wide open garden room overlooking a covered 14 x 30 covered porch, a chef’s kitchen, bar, jumpseat office nook, closets-for-days and new fireplace with custom hearth and mantle. Other features include painted concrete tiles, custom built iron rails, smartphone HVAC controls, antique wood floors, restored cypress columns, hidden doors, and energy efficient windows.

On grand Audubon Boulevard, MBC completed a master suite renovation that included fabricating and installing a new built-in entertainment center in the bedroom, replacing the master bathroom floor and shower alcove with new Crema Marfil and decorative glass accents, new plumbing fitting and freshening the paint.

The summer of 2014 saw us delivering a myriad of middle sized to small projects throughout New Orleans and Metairie.

Mayer Building Company booked a small shower improvement. As we prepared to present ceramic selections to the owner, we remembered that we had 65sf of brushed ceramic 12x12s, 20sf of 4×4 stone tiles, two bags of adhesive and some ready mix concrete in storage. The two tiles matched well and we installed them. We delivered a great looking greenish shower and saved the client some green of his own.

Mayer Building Company wrapped up two small residential packages in February 2014. On Dauphine, we installed new kitchen cabinets and a polished black granite countertop. On Chartres, we delivered an interior and exterior paint job and refinished the antique floors. We upgraded the light fixtures in the living room there too.

Designed by Logan Killen Interiors, this Mayer Building Company full renovation of a French Quarter condo included plenty of salvage work, a number of notable details and lots of creativity. The complete residence includes a terra-cotta and plaster decorated master bathroom with a mirrored panel wet wall, a kitchen with exposed roof rafters and adjacent powder and shower room, a master bedroom with reclaimed cypress floorboards, an attic loft leading to a dormer and roof space.

November 2013, Mayer Building Company turned over this single-family home restoration in the Black Pearl neighborhood. This building was in significant disrepair when the owner purchased it. Now after only 3 months worth of work on the interior and exterior, this little gem boasts a slew of improvements. In addition to the full renovations of the interior, we replaced the roof, salvaged the ridge cap terra cotta, painted the exterior siding and trim. We modified the porch and replaced broken sidewalk segments, changing this eyesore into a quaint abode with true curb appeal.

For a repeat client, Mayer Building Company, delivered a spiffy renovation of an over-sized double to a really over-sized single in the Irish Channel. Some notable accomplishments that occurred during this project included creating a vast span using glu-lam elements, reclaiming approximately 2100 sf of heart pine floorboards, installation of high-end appliances and fixtures.

Mayer Building Company recently delivered a project on St Philip Street in the heart of the Vieux Carre. The majority of the work consisted of weatherboard cladding and sheathing replacement and fabricating new historically accurate windows and shutters. Once the restoration work was complete, we painted all facades of this old wooden treasure.

I just want to thank you and your staff for going above and beyond during this build out process. With us being in a different city, y’all have been awesome to work with. Y’all have accommodated every change within our construction window and have helped us greatly on things that couldn’t have gotten done without you and your staff’s help. Thanks so much. It is greatly appreciated.

Philip Jacobson, WEXNER COMPANIES/JOSEPH

Thank you very much for doing such a great job. The rooms look great and the inconvenience to us was minimal at worst. Your personnel was friendly and easy to work with. Fred was really great. We are very pleased with the result. Thank you and I hope to work with you again on another project.

Lehan Wilson, HOMEOWNER

I was concerned about doing a renovation at a place that was many states away from where I lived. I needed someone that I could count on and could handle every aspect of the renovation. I also required someone who was familiar with the permit requirements for an historical building in New Orleans….I would highly recommend Ryan Mayer to any potential client. I was extrememly pleased with the work he performed and would use him again for any additional contracting needs that I may have.

Margie Dominach

We are always excited to partner up with MBC to work on our new location developments or redesigns,
as we can always count on quality, timeliness, and most importantly, the right level of communication
in the client relationship.
As we grow City Greens, we look forward to working with the Mayer Building Company in the very near future.

Abhi Bhansali, CITY GREENS

It is with pleasure, and of my own initiative, I am writing this letter of gratitude
for the work you and your company performed at 4905-11 Magazine Street.

As the architect of that renovation, I worked closely with you, your superintendent
Fred Goodrow, and your staff during the months of construction. Your knowledge, experience, and good judgement, and that of your
employees, were critical in addressing these issues and contributed significantly
to the successful completion of the work.

Both the building owner and I are very proud of the results and are grateful to
you and your staff for a job very well done. I sincerely look forward to the next
time it is my good fortune to work with you.

Brooks Graham, GRAHAM LITTLE STUDIO

Thanks for everything, Ryan! We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Jewelynn Nice, TRINITY EPISCOPAL SCHOOL

We found the team at Mayer Building Company to be communicative,
eﬃcient, and responsive throughout our project. Capsule was able to
eﬀectively remotely manage this project extremely eﬀectively, resulting in an
on time delivery with only very minimum punch list. Please accept this letter
as recognition of your company’s evident skills in construction
management, quality control and safety.
