New Construction Windows in New Orleans

Big Easy Windows supplies and installs windows for new construction across New Orleans, from Lakeview and Gentilly rebuilds to fresh infill in Mid-City, Carrollton, and Algiers Point. Our own licensed crew sets every unit, coordinates with your builder on the framing schedule, and never hands the work to a subcontractor. Each window is spec’d for the city’s heat, humidity, and hurricane season. Call (504) 384-8165 for a free quote.

New Construction Windows for a City Rebuilding and Filling In

New Orleans builds two ways at once. Lakeview and Gentilly are still seeing post-Katrina rebuilds and raised new homes, while empty lots in Mid-City, Uptown, and Carrollton draw infill that has to sit next to century-old neighbors. We work from the architect’s window schedule, so the openings get framed to the unit, not the other way around, and the glass meets energy code and egress before anyone closes a wall.

Infill on a historic block can trigger Historic District Landmarks Commission review, and anything in the French Quarter answers to the Vieux Carre Commission. We help you and your builder pick profiles those boards will approve so the new build reads right on the street.

Flashing a build that sits at or below sea level

Much of the city sits at or below sea level, so raised new construction is common and water management is everything. We integrate window flashing into the wall assembly during the build, lapping the weather barrier so wind-driven rain drains out instead of riding into the framing. Low-E, double-pane glass handles the long humid summer from day one.

On the builder’s schedule, under Orleans Parish permits

We size each opening off the plans, time delivery to the framing and dry-in stages, and install under City of New Orleans permits with our own team. Getting windows in before the walls close up keeps the whole job on schedule.
