About Our Company

Total Construction & Renovation LLC

Your Local Northshore Renovation & Remodeling Experts

At Total Construction & Renovation LLC, we help homeowners across the Northshore transform their homes with high-quality renovations, additions, and repairs. As a licensed and insured Louisiana Residential Renovation Contractor, we deliver dependable craftsmanship and a renovation experience built on honesty, communication, and professionalism.

Locally Owned. Professionally Built. Personally Invested.

My name is Ryan Cartier, owner of Total Construction & Renovation LLC. I was born and raised here on the Northshore, and I built this company with one mission:

“Create a renovation experience that is stress-free, professional, transparent, and built to last.”

We live where we work — right here in Mandeville — and we proudly serve the communities we call home. When you hire us, you’re working with a contractor who is 10 minutes away, easy to reach, and committed to the people of St. Tammany Parish.

Our Real Estate Partner: SellNorthShore.com
