Carpenter in Monroe, LA

In many cases, yes. Original thick-bed tile installations in Monroe's older homes are often structurally sound except where the substrate has cracked or a tile has been broken. We remove the damaged tile, stabilize the substrate, and set a replacement tile that matches the original as closely as possible in size and finish.

It typically involves widening the doorway to allow wheelchair or walker clearance, replacing the tub or shower with a roll-in or walk-in configuration, installing grab bars anchored into wall studs, and retiling the floor with a slip-resistant surface. We handle the carpentry, tile, and finish work as a single scope of work.

Mid-century homes in Midtown and the University Area were built on slab foundations that have settled unevenly over decades of north Louisiana's wet and dry soil cycles. That settling pushes door frames out of level, causing doors to bind at the top or bottom. We re-hang the door and correct the frame rather than just planing the door edge, which only delays the problem.

Yes. Water that enters through a failing roof or siding panel often saturates the wall cavity and damages the sheetrock from behind before it is visible on the surface. We remove the damaged drywall, confirm the framing is dry and sound, and install new sheetrock finished to match the surrounding wall texture.
