A city of many housing eras
LaGrange, the Troup County seat, has homes from nearly every era: older houses in the historic neighborhoods near downtown and around LaGrange College, former mill village homes from the city's textile history, mid-century ranches, and newer subdivisions on the edges of town. Each comes with its own common repairs.
What older LaGrange homes often need
- Plaster and drywall repair — older walls crack and settle over time. See drywall patching.
- Original trim and doors — profiles that are hard to match. See trim installation.
- Exterior wood — sills, porch posts and fascia exposed to decades of weather. See wood rot repair.
- Lead-safe practices for homes built before 1978 when painting or sanding.
Lake homes and decks
Homes near West Point Lake often have decks and docks exposed to sun, shade from trees and lake humidity. Deck boards, railings and stairs see heavy use. See deck and fence repairs.
Newer homes
Newer subdivisions often have drywall nail pops, settling cracks, builder-grade doors and fixtures people want upgraded, and flooring or kitchen refresh projects.

Questions from LaGrange
Do you serve all of LaGrange?
Yes, LaGrange is the base of the service area. Send your address when you reach out so scheduling can be planned.
Do you work on older homes in the historic districts?
Older homes are welcome. Mention the age of the house, since plaster walls, original trim and older paint affect how work is approached.
