We are a customer service company that happens to be in construction
Schneider Construction & Restoration was founded in 2002 by its President, Larry Schneider, who was born and raised in Old Metairie and still resides there with his wife and two daughters. He attended Tulane University on a Baseball scholarship and served as the Team’s Captain for three years. He graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Management with a concentration in Finance. After a three-year stint as a commercial banker and stockbroker, Larry decided to switch careers and was hired by a large New Orleans based General Contractor where he was first trained as a project manager and then was put in charge of several multi-million dollar commercial construction projects. Larry used his “Big Company” knowledge and skills to start his own business and applies them to running Schneider’s projects.

“I want to express my complete satisfaction with our recent Kitchen Renovation completed by Schneider Construction. From the initial consultation to the final walk through this has been a wonderful experience. Mallory Hymel, VP of Operations supervised the entire project, which went as smoothly and seamlessly as possible. All of her subcontractors were knowledgeable, professional, timely, respectful of our property, offered excellent workmanship and went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% satisfied with the work completed. All subs were licensed and insured, which eased our mind. When we had issues or concerns, Mallory addressed them immediately to our satisfaction. Our work was 100% completed in 3 weeks and 1 day. Our estimate reflected our final bill, which has never happened in other construction projects we've completed. How many times have you had those surprises tacked on at then end? Not in this case. We love our new kitchen and attribute our total satisfaction to Schneider Construction and Restoration and the tireless and skillful work of Mallory Hymel. I can't thank them enough. I look forward to working with them again on our next project. I highly recommend Schneider Construction and Restoration for your next project too.- Daniel Lern”
“After the initial meeting with Larry Schneider, we knew we wanted to work with Schneider Construction and Restoration. The knowledge base for projects and design coupled with the tremendous customer communication and care sounded incredible and the real life experience lived up to everything Larry promised. Schneider Construction and Restoration worked with our architect to help create the perfect whole house renovation and to bring our vision to life. Even better, it was completed on time and on budget! Mallory, our project manager, was always accessible and met with us weekly to update us on every part of our project along the way. Mallory, her crew and all of the subs she hired cared about our opinion and worked meticulously on every facet of the project. We have recommended and will continue to recommend Schneider Construction and Restoration. We come home everyday to our dream house. Thank you!- Tamara Claverie”
