We have been in our Guidry Custom Home now for nearly two years. We love our home and are very happy with our construction team. Stephen and Joe Guidry built our home in an established neighborhood and were very considerate of the neighbors during construction. Stephen did most of the design of the home based on the thoughts and ideas we presented him. He made himself available as often as we needed him to be. We are proud of our home and show it off often.

We selected Guidry Custom Homes to build our custom home in Lakeview back in September of 2016 and moved in in Mid June following our home being in the Parade of Homes. After having had some rough experiences with contractors, we were a bit nervous but Stephen and his subcontractors were all professional and responsive and the work was of excellent quality. We recommend them to everyone we know who are building a home!

Guidry Custom homes did wonderful work building our Greek Revival home in New Orleans, and I have recommended them to several people in the market for new construction.

My husband and I chose Guidry Custom Homes to build our custom home. We hired them not only because we were very impressed with their level of expertise and professionalism, but additionally, the level of craftsmanship in the custom homes we previewed was above average. Being an interior designer, it was important to me to have a contractor on board who was not only open to my ideas and attention to detail, but I also wanted our contractor to offer practical ideas from their experience as well. Throughout the process, there was a team approach to achieving the overall completion of the project. Stephen was very punctual and easy to correspond with on a daily basis, which was extremely important to us. We couldn't be happier with our home and are very satisfied with our experience. I would definitely recommend Guidry Custom Homes to anyone in the market for a general contractor.

This builder exceeded all my expectations and consistently provided services above and beyond those contracted. My property was located in an Historic District that was listed as such by both the National and Local Historical Registries. To demolish the existing structure and build a new dwelling involved a year and a half of convoluted, expensive processes that at one time had us interfacing with 7 different committees/departments within the NOLA City Hall! The Guidrys were exceptional and instrumental in securing the necessary permits. As far as the construction, once again simply exceptional, no corners cut. I recommend Joe and Stephen Guidry unequivocally 100%, and guarantee they will do you right. I was very fortunate to find them.

I hired this company and I am so pleased of the work. Stephen Guidry and his family are so kind, helpful, and provided wonderful work. If I ever needed to build a house again I would hire them again in a heartbeat!! Building a house is stressful but they helped me through the whole process and the end results are exactly what I envisioned!!! Stephen Guidry is honest and fair priced compared to all the other contractors I spoke too. My family is so happy in our new home.

Guidry Custom Homes was the best choice we have made in a long time. Joe and Stephen assisted us from the earliest part of the project until our final move-in, and we couldn’t imagine doing it without them. At one of our lowest points, when we were even considering giving up on our dream home, Stephen stepped in and helped us create the perfect design for our family that also met our budget! Our home was completed on budget, on time, and our family has been enjoying it for 8 months now. We have been very pleased with this entire home building process, and would highly recommend GCH for anyone looking to build their custom home!

Guidry Construction was very knowledgeable and experienced. GC's attitude was very relaxed which put us at ease with this being our first new construction. Overall project was 2 months late but that was due to a combination of GC and us. Budget was reasonable and was met and GC worked well with us in regards to our plumbing contractor request and the make of our 2 AC / Heating units. In hindsight, we wish we would have utilized Guidry Construction for the architectural drawings as well as the actual construction. Ourselves and GC made several slight changes to the original drawings that could have been potentially avoided if we utilized GC from the very beginning of the design phase. I would definitely recommend Guidry Construction to potential customers.

I have worked with Guidry Custom Homes since they built there first new construction home in Luling/Hahnville. They have always been great to work for. Easy to communicate with and always know what they want. Always a pleasure to deal with. I have recommended them plenty of times to friends and family and will continue to. They are great builders and there homes are always beautiful. They also designed a home for a family member of mine and they loved the design and listened to all his ideas.

As an Architect who's worked with various Contractors in the city, I can say it is always a pleasure to work with Guidry Custom Homes. Their attention to detail and patience in working through a project from the beginning schematic design to selection of finish materials and final construction proves to be an asset for the entire team. Their fair approach in dealing with issues that come up is also refreshing - a joy to work with.

The Guidry's are a great company and continue to refine their already efficient process. Unfortunately, I hired them during s really busy time and they in turn hired help, which didn't live up to their reputation. I would rehire them and actually continued to refer them to friends who are thinking of building a home. However, should they have to hire help (additonal project managers) due to the amount of workload, I'd have to reevaluate my decision. They also give a finders fee for referrals which is nice. My finished product was and is beautiful. I can assure that as long as Stephen and Mr. Joe are in charge of your projects, you are in good hands and won't be disappointed with there work.

When I was ready to enter into a contract with a builder/contractor to build my home in Lakeview, what impressed me most about Guidry Custom Homes was the quality of the homes they built and the excellent relationship they had with their clients. That told me a lot. The Guidrys walked me through the process of building from the "entering into the contract" stage through the completion of the building and everything in between. Their attention to detail and their quick response to requests is truly commendable. Of all the builders/contractors I could have hired, I'm glad I chose Guidry Custom Homes. Let me share just one incident with you. While I was checking on the building progress one day, I realized that the inside doors that were delivered days earlier were not hung. Before I had a chance to ask why it was taking so long to hang the doors, I was told that the doors were warped, would be returned, and new doors were on their way! I've heard horror stories about dealing with builders/contractors. What could have been a frustrating, stressful time for me turned out to be a pleasant and fun experience. I love my house. Thank you Guidry Custom Homes!

Guidry Custom Homes built our new home. GCH is a family owned and operated company. They take pride in their work and reputation. If a question was asked, a thoughtful and timely response was given. I'm proud of my new home and would not change a thing about it, including my choice of contractor. The Guidry Family maintains a positive and professional relationship with their clients.

My name is John Raymer, I am a local Realtor and have been in the Real Estate Industry for almost 20 years. I have sent many clients to Guidry Custom Homes who have ended up having them complete a new home for them. I would recommend them again without question! They offer a superior product for a completive price.

Stephen and Joe built our home and did an excellent job. There were many challenges as this project was within a historic district and they had to meet stringent requirements of the HDLC. Additionally, we were working with a short timeframe and they were able to meet the deadline. My experience was that Stephen and Joe were fair and worked with me to figure out reasonable solutions when problems arose (and there are always surprises with every project). I would build with them again.

Toca Alarm Service has installed security systems, structured wiring, home theater and camera systems for Guidry Custom Homes for quite some time now. The relationship has been a very pleasant one. The owner/employees are always professional but yet down to earth. Very reliable company! They take care of their customers and don't cut corners. Would highly recommend them for your needs!

Joe and Stephen provided a smooth and efficient home building experience. They provided an advisory element to all aspects that was highly appreciated and looked out for my project as if it was their own home.

The Guidry's built our home in Lakeview. Construction began during the summer of 2009 and, except for a subcontractor selected by us, would have been complete during early December 2009. We moved in during January 2010. Joe, Stephen and Carol were supportive and professional before, during and after the construction period. Our home is only about 2,000 square feet of living but we have a double detached garage and a 15' by 10' covered back porch area that is a perfect amenity thanks to the recommendations by Stephen and Joe. Carol was the go-to person with respect to kitchen appliance and electrical and plumbing fixture selection. Guidry Custom Homes is no cookie cutter operation and deserve to have Custom in their organization title. The Guidry's price and value add was the difference when selecting a contractor.

Guidry Custom Homes was the general contractor for our new home construction in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans. This was a custom build and we were extremely satisfied with the quality of final product. They stayed on schedule and were able to incorporate minor design changes without impacts. For the level of finished offered in our contract, their pricing is very competitive. I would highly recommend them.

Guidry gives good value and does what he says. Extremely honest and straightforward. Finishes the job until you are satisfied. Throughout numerous projects, he has been extremely professional and given good value for the bid price without change orders. A rare breed of contractor. Highly recommended.

When my wife and I decided to build a new home, we looked at homes in the local Parade of Homes. This is how we came across Guidry Custom Homes. We had an idea of what we wanted, but really did not have a clue as to how to do it. The Guidry's guided us step by step from beginning to end. What we ended up with is a thing of beauty and functionality that we are proud to call our home.

We liked very much other homes the Guidry's built; the product, the style and the details. Worked with all members of the family until we got exactly what we wanted in a home. There was no pressure or time restraints. The project was completed on time, and stayed connected for any of questions after construction. This was our first building of a home and it was an enjoyable experience!
