Renovation

French Quarter Kitchen & Bath

In April, just before French Quarter Fest, the Mayer Building Company team delivered a compact, but finely detailed kitchen and bath renovation to a French Quarter condominum residence on Royal Street. Our clients, from Atlanta, Georgia, expected a highly discriminating finish package, a premium appliance set, and a number of top-notch accents. We delivered all.

In April 2012, Mayer Building Company commenced a major overhaul of the 4-story 1840s masonry townhouse (read mansion). Ten months later, one of the finest residences in the French Quarter emerged. This home, which had once been converted into four condos or apartments, is now re-establised as a single family home in granduer and panache. Above the gas lanterns, two galleries, dressed in iron lace, catch river breezes and views well into the Marigny/ Bywater. The home, designed with eloborate and ornate finishes, Victorian in some places, Louis XIV in others is a study in custom craftsmanship and artisan applications. 510 Esplanade also contains state-of-the-art equipment blended into its style for super-ergonomics in the kitchen, baths, palors and recreation areas.

In the Bywater, Mayer Building Company recently delivered a much needed full renovation to 739 Mandeville Street at the corner of Dauphine Street. We replaced the roof and salvaged the terra cotta ridge caps. The work included new plumbing, wiring and adding central air and new finishes. We reclaimed the existing wood floor, base and doors, and installed a new kitchen, two new bathrooms, a couple of closets and a full laundry area. We even restored a pleasant screen porch too. The overhaul of this building not only put a nice address back in commerce, added value to the burgeoning Bywater nieghborhood, but also brought a second-rate structure into historic compliance and spiffy good looks.

In February 2013, Mayer Building Company conveyed interior improvements to the two (2) Pier 8 Condominium elevators at the West End complex. The updates included re-cladding the elevator’s interior with polished diamond plate steel and removing to old VCT floor to install a new super heavy-duty oil resistant Johnsonite rubber floor.

In Kenner, Mayer Building Company delivered a roof, canopy and parapet renovation for the Animal Care Center, a veterinary clinic on David Drive. We came up with very cost-effective systems for new roof line, parapet, and cementious panel canopy.

In early fall 2012, Mayer Building Company provided a quick repair package to the Anytime Fitness on Canal Street. The gym, which had been affected by the 2012 storm, required a nimble and attentive crew to furnish and install sheetrock, vinyl base, ceiling tiles and paint in a few minorly damaged areas. The finish package we delivered turned out to be a satisfactory match, but what was just as important for this job was our operating procedures. The job at Anytime, which is open to the membership public 24-7, needed much temporary protection, extreme cleanliness, and customer-service flexibility. Mayer Building Company afforded all of these things.

In October, Mayer Building Company completed a renovation to a Craftsman style home in the Riverbend that included all new wiring, interior and exterior lighting, selective plumbing and re-fixturing, a new air conditioning and heating system.

In September, we got over Isaac quickly. We counted our blessings and moved on. Mayer Building Company was able to assist new and existing clients take care of their repairs and clean-up. Thankfully, nothing too major.

On Dumaine Street In Mid City, Mayer Building Company performed a relatively simple conversion of a front and back double to a single. In keeping with the Craftsman style, we installed milled banding around the door frames, employed salvaged New Orleans cypress doors and recycled rim locks. We also installed a massive built-in bookshelf and storage cabinet that was salvaged from another Mayer Building Co project.

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.

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.
