Castillo Builders — General Contracting & Disaster Restoration in Metairie, LA
Alfonso Castillo started Castillo Builders in 1996 and the company has operated in the New Orleans metro for close to 30 years. Based at 609 Metairie Rd in Metairie, they cover residential and commercial scopes from standard renovation work through to disaster restoration — a significant specialty in a region that deals with hurricane and tropical storm impacts on a recurring basis.
Their BuildZoom score of 127 ranks in the top 1% of 31,948 licensed Louisiana contractors. That number reflects permit history, license standing, and verified project completion, not just customer ratings, and it puts Castillo Builders in a very small group of contractors across the state.
Southeast Louisiana’s geography creates a repair and restoration market that has no real equivalent in most of the country. Properties in the New Orleans metro face structural and water damage from storms on a roughly cyclical basis, and the contractors who stay in business through those events develop operational experience that routine renovation work alone doesn’t produce. Working through storm aftermath means managing insurance documentation, navigating scope changes as hidden damage becomes visible, coordinating with adjusters, and keeping projects moving when material supply chains tighten. Castillo Builders has done this across multiple storm cycles.
The residential renovation side of the business covers kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions, and full gut renovations. New construction includes ground-up residential and light commercial builds. Commercial renovation encompasses tenant improvements and commercial remodels managed from concept through completion.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Nearly 30 years in one of the country’s most storm-prone markets, combined with a top-1% contractor score among Louisiana’s licensed contractors, made this worth documenting. Castillo Builders handles both standard renovation work and the harder post-disaster recovery jobs that require a full-service GC with real storm experience.
