Trade scopes

Architectural roofing replacement

Full tear-off down to bare decking, replacing rotted plywood before nailing high-wind architectural shingles. We install heavy aluminum valley flashing, synthetic underlayment, and ridge vents to withstand severe gulf storms.

Hardie siding and exterior painting

Factory-primed fiber cement lap siding fastened directly to studs with moisture barrier wraps. We caulk every joint with polyurethane sealant and apply commercial-grade exterior elastomeric coatings for lasting rot defense.

Fascia and soffit carpentry

Sub-fascia framing repair and continuous vented vinyl or aluminum soffits that keep attic airflow circulating while blocking driving rain. We replace rotted rafter tails and rebuild porch framing with structural pressure-treated lumber.

Seamless aluminum gutters

Heavy-gauge seamless aluminum gutters custom extruded on site to match your exact rooflines. Installed with heavy hidden screw hangers spaced every 24 inches to handle torrential Baton Rouge downpours without sagging.

East Ascension roots

Trade accountability without shortcuts

My granddaddy taught me construction on residential sites across Ascension Parish with a straightforward rule: you stand behind every nail, and you never demand payment on a job until the owner looks at the finished build and shakes your hand.

We live here, went to East Ascension High School, and work here year-round. While transient storm crews roll in and vanish after severe weather, LA South Construction maintains written contracts and owner-led job supervision on every single project.

The Wells guarantee

No upfront retainers. No material deposits drawn before work begins. We complete your exterior renovation in full, perform an on-site walkthrough together, and only invoice once you confirm total satisfaction.
