Our Story

Built from the ground up,
family and service

Kern Construction LLC is a family-owned, veteran-operated construction company serving New Orleans and the surrounding communities. We didn't start in a boardroom. We started on a rooftop in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, helping neighbors rebuild what the storm took. That's where this company was born, and that sense of purpose still drives every job we take on.

Our roots go back to working alongside family to restore homes across the Greater New Orleans area after Katrina. Those early years taught us how to work fast without cutting corners, how to read a damaged home honestly, and how to treat homeowners who are already under stress with real respect. That foundation has never left us.

Kern Construction handled our roof and interior repairs after storm damage and made the whole insurance process simple. Solid crew, clean work, and they kept us in the loop the entire time.

Marcus T. Google review

We had our kitchen and one bathroom completely redone and the quality of the work speaks for itself. It feels like a different home and the team was professional from start to finish.

Diane F. Google review

I called Kern for what I thought was a small plumbing issue and they caught a bigger problem before it got out of hand. Honest, skilled, and easy to work with.
