Owner • Jarreau Construction
Chase Jarreau builds homes meant to outlast construction. He wants the relationships to last, too.
Over a decade, he has grown Jarreau Construction into a luxury custom homebuilding business serving Baton Rouge and surrounding communities. The company has reached No. 3 in Business Report’s homebuilder rankings and earned multiple first-place honors in its house category at the local Home Builders Association’s Parade of Homes competition.
Those milestones reflect a business built around craftsmanship, but Jarreau also emphasizes what clients experience along the way. He stays personally involved in client decisions and quality control, aiming to make a process filled with budgets, schedules and choices feel more transparent and manageable.
His influence extends to other builders. Through the Home Builders Association, he hosts gatherings at spec homes and speaks on panels, sharing lessons from building a business from the ground up. He also supports school sports and youth programs through sponsorships and donations.
The best business advice I’d share: “Protect your reputation at all costs. Do what you say you’re going to do, treat people right and never let growth become more important than quality.”
