Founded in 1966, White Star Commercial, Inc. provides general contracting, design-build services, construction program management, and building solutions. Rooted in southwest Louisiana, our legacy has grown into a second generation, emphasizing that “Quality comes First.” We began as Lewis Plumbing & Heating, founded by Joseph Walter Lewis, Sr. With seven sons, Mr. Lewis passed the leadership to Joseph Walter Lewis, Jr., who shifted the business to New Orleans in 1983.

Supported by dedicated employees with a strong work ethic, we demonstrate our commitment to superior service, reflecting management's trustworthiness and our adherence to promises, rooted in honesty and integrity. White Star Commercial boasts a 100% project completion record, never experiencing a bond default or call. “On time, on budget, and value for money” is our guiding principle. We own and operate a general contracting firm that provides a variety of services, including residential and commercial carpentry, mechanical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, electrical, and residential remodeling. Our team directs the efficient construction of foundations and structural rebuilds. We cultivate and strengthen relationships with clients, architects, engineers, building officials, and bank representatives. I lead and inspire teams of up to 10 in-house employees along with various subcontractors. I supervise daily operations, subcontractor arrangements, quality control, job site coordination, and client interactions.
