About Us

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.

Building or renovating a home can be stressful—but it doesn’t need to be! Our processes are designed to put our customer’s experience first. Quality materials and sound construction techniques are table stakes for contractors who want to stay in business, but an often-overlooked consideration is what is it going to be like for the homeowner during the construction process. All construction projects have challenges, but our clients enjoy the process because we work to make the experience pleasant and fun. Creating your dream home should be a pleasant and fulfilling experience.
