ABOUT US
Builders of the South is a trusted Louisiana construction and remodeling company serving Covington and St. Tammany Parish. Our crews design and build outdoor living spaces across the Northshore every week — from covered patios in Downtown Covington and River Forest to outdoor kitchens and fire pits in Tammany Hills and Old Covington.
Covington’s long warm seasons and river breezes off Lake Pontchartrain make backyards true living space — when they’re built for Louisiana humidity, heavy rain, and storm exposure. We use weather-resistant materials, proper drainage grading, and storm-rated structural connections, so your patio, pergola, or outdoor kitchen looks great for years, not seasons.
CORE SERVICES
Patio Design & Installation
Concrete, paver, and stamped patios designed for Covington backyards — from compact Downtown Covington courtyards to spacious River Forest entertaining areas. Every patio is properly graded for drainage and reinforced for St. Tammany’s clay soils.
Covered Patios & Pergolas
Covered patios and pergolas that beat the Northshore sun — with ceiling fans, lighting, and outdoor-rated finishes. Our shade structures are engineered for wind loads and Louisiana storms.
Outdoor Kitchen Installation
Built-in grills, counter space, storage, and sinks — outdoor kitchens designed for crawfish boils and family barbecues. Weatherproof cabinetry and surfaces that stand up to Gulf humidity.
Fire Pits & Backyard Features
Custom fire pits, seating walls, landscape lighting, and hardscaping that turn Covington backyards into evening destinations. Designed around how your family actually uses the space.
BENEFITS OF OUR LOCAL SERVICES
More Months Outdoors
Covington’s mild climate means outdoor living nearly year-round — a covered patio or outdoor kitchen adds months of usable living space to your home.
Built for Covington Soil & Rain
We grade for drainage, compact bases properly, and choose materials that handle St. Tammany’s clay soils and heavy downpours — no settling, no standing water.
Higher Home Value
Quality outdoor living spaces are among the top value-adds for Northshore homes, from Downtown Covington to Tammany Hills. Buyers pay for usable outdoor square footage.
Entertaining Space
From crawfish boils to holiday gatherings, a well-designed outdoor space becomes where your family and friends actually want to be.
3-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our outdoor construction work is backed in writing for three full years.
SERVICE AREAS
We build outdoor living spaces throughout Covington, including Downtown Covington, River Forest, Tammany Hills, Old Covington, and the Bogue Falaya area, plus nearby Mandeville, Slidell, Lacombe, and Abita Springs. ZIP codes include 70433, 70434, and 70435. Every project starts with a free estimate — call (504) 329-7937.
PROS & CONS
Pros
Expanded Living Space
A patio or outdoor kitchen effectively adds a room to your home — without the cost of an addition.
Louisiana Lifestyle Fit
Outdoor cooking and gathering are central to how Northshore families live; the right space makes it effortless.
Strong Return
Well-built outdoor living consistently ranks among the highest-ROI improvements in Covington’s market.
Cons
Weather Scheduling
Outdoor construction depends on dry weather windows; we schedule pours and installs around Louisiana rain.
Upfront Investment
Quality outdoor kitchens and covered structures are significant projects; we offer phased options to fit your budget.
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SERVICE
Covington’s climate is both the reason to build outdoor living space and the reason to build it right. UV, humidity, and 60+ inches of annual rain destroy cheap materials in a few seasons — fading, rotting, and cracking what looked great on installation day. Professional outdoor construction with proper footings, drainage, storm-rated connections, and weather-resistant materials is what separates a backyard you use for decades from one you repair every spring.
