ABOUT US

Our Company

Who We Are

Magnolia Development was founded shortly after Hurricane Laura had a devasting impact on our local community. While experiencing the heartache of destruction and the disappointment in finding reliable help, the motivation to make a difference quickly became an incontrovertible purpose.  So, we set out to rebuild and recover. 

The experience of facing these unique challenges alongside our neighbors inspired our commitment to being known for reliability and unwavering dedication to restoring homes and lives.

Since the beginning, our mission has remained simple: to not only provide quality construction services but also a peace of mind within the process.  Just as when we began, we achieve this by building authentic connections with our clients, providing quality craftsmanship alongside accountability, and allowing our values to guide us in providing an experience tailored to ensuring every project is completed with care, consideration, and integrity.

Our Philosophy

At Magnolia Development, our business is built on the core values of communication, honesty, and integrity. We believe that open and transparent communication is the foundation of every successful project, ensuring that our clients are informed and involved at every stage. Honesty guides our approach to all aspects of our work, from providing accurate estimates to setting realistic timelines and delivering on promises. With integrity at the heart of everything we do, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and ethical conduct. These core values not only define how we operate, but also foster trust, collaboration, and long-term relationships with our clients, partners, and the communities we serve.
