Customer service, convenience and satisfaction are the heart of Fidelity Homestead, serving the community since 1908. They have built a strong savings and loan association that exceeds the requirements for financial reserves. DonahueFavret Contractors constructed the Covington branch facility using a combination of structural steel, load bearing wood framing and laminated wood beams. Interior finishes included matching mahogany doors, base, tellers counter and crown molding. The lobby is highlighted by a four surface cathedral ceiling finished with smooth-textured gypsum board. The exterior consists of modular brick masonry with several triple-brick bands in an accent color. The roof system is an architectural standing seam roof with no exposed fasteners. Surrounding the attractive building are beautifully landscaped and lighted grounds. The project was completed in only 165 days.

Three additional branches of Fidelity Homestead were awarded to DFC, which included Slidell, Kenner and River Ridge, Louisiana. The similar projects were constructed of single story 4,000 square foot wood framed brick buildings, with four drive-thru teller lanes. The buildings feature vaulted lobby ceilings, EIFS soffits and fascias and Berridge metal panel roof systems that were fabricated on site. The scope of work also included subsurface drainage, extensive site paving, and landscaping with irrigation systems. Each project was successfully completed in only 90 days.
