Kitchen Renovation in New Orleans — Thoughtfully Designed, Expertly Built
Your kitchen is the heart of your New Orleans home. Whether you’re restoring a shotgun double in the Irish Channel, opening up a Creole cottage in the Marigny, or elevating a Garden District estate, M&Z Renovations designs and builds kitchens that honor where they are — and how you live.
We are a New Orleans design-build firm specializing in high-end residential kitchen renovations. Every project we take on is managed from concept to completion, with a single team responsible for design, permitting, and construction. That means no miscommunication between your designer and your contractor, and a finished kitchen that looks exactly the way you imagined it.

Our Kitchen Renovation Process
We believe a great renovation starts well before the first nail is driven. Here’s how we work:
Design Consultation — We visit your home, listen to how you cook and entertain, and assess the existing space and structure.
Design & Budget Planning — Our team develops a design proposal with material selections and a transparent line-item budget. No surprises.
Permitting — We manage all permit applications with the City of New Orleans and the HDLC when required.
Construction — Our team handles demolition, rough-in work, and finish installation with consistent communication throughout.
Final Walkthrough — We walk the completed kitchen with you and address any punch list items before we consider the job done.
