By Jules Albert III, Owner of Jaymar Construction LLC | Slidell, Louisiana Living in South Louisiana means dealing with moisture. Sometimes it comes from a summer thunderstorm, sometimes from a tropical system, and sometimes it feels like the humidity alone could fill a swimming pool. Most homeowners understand that excessive water can damage roofs, walls,...
By Jules Albert III, Owner of Jaymar Construction LLC | Slidell, Louisiana When most people look at a large commercial building, they probably aren’t thinking about where the roof drains are located. They’re thinking about the building’s appearance, the parking situation, or whether the air conditioning inside is keeping up with the Louisiana heat. Roof...
Building a new house and adding onto an existing house might sound like two versions of the same project. They aren’t. With new construction, there is usually a clean starting point. Plans are developed, the site is prepared, the foundation goes in and construction moves forward from there. An addition starts with somebody saying something...
One thing I’ve learned after years in construction is that houses age a lot like people. They might still look pretty good from across the street, but every now and then they’ll remind everyone they’ve been around for a while. A little creak here, a faded spot there, maybe a few wrinkles around the trim....
There was a time when backyard cooking meant a single grill sitting on a concrete slab somewhere behind the house. Maybe there was a folding chair nearby. Maybe a cooler. Maybe a rusty set of tongs that had somehow survived three presidential administrations and still managed to flip hamburgers every weekend. That was the outdoor...
One thing homeowners often underestimate about roof leaks is how far water can travel once it gets inside a house. Most people picture a leak as water dripping straight down from the ceiling directly beneath the damaged spot on the roof. Sometimes that happens. A lot of times, though, water behaves more like a sneaky...
A commercial roof may look simple from the parking lot. Flat surface. Some drains. A few air conditioning units. Maybe a vent or two. Maybe a mystery pipe nobody wants to claim. But underneath that surface is usually a lot more going on than most people realize. Commercial roofing is not just one big sheet...
There is a moment in almost every commercial project where someone points at a piece of land and says, “That’s where the building is going.” Sounds simple enough. That moment is where the real work begins. Site planning does not get much attention outside of construction circles, but it quietly controls everything that happens next....
Anyone who has spent time around construction knows that building projects involve a lot of moving parts. Lumber, concrete, electricians, plumbers, inspectors, permits, deliveries, weather forecasts, and about fifty other variables all have to line up at the right moment for a project to move forward smoothly. When everything runs according to plan, construction can...
When most people drive past a commercial construction site, attention usually goes straight to the building. Steel framing going up. Concrete trucks coming and going. Cranes lifting materials into the air. The building itself gets all the attention. What rarely gets noticed is everything that had to be figured out before the first shovel ever...
