Q&A
How do you address fence problems caused by aging and vegetation overgrowth in Ponchatoula?
We start by assessing the fence's condition and the extent of vegetation damage. Many aging fences in Ponchatoula suffer from rot or leaning due to overgrown shrubs. We offer repair or full replacement using pressure-treated wood or vinyl that resists moisture and pests. We also trim back vegetation and install weatherproof barriers to keep future growth from compromising the fence.
What options do you offer for custom deck design?
We work closely with homeowners to design decks that fit their property and needs. Options include single-level or multi-level decks, built-in seating, planters, and lighting. We use materials like cedar, composite, or tropical hardwoods, and can match existing architecture. Our crew handles everything from permitting to finishing.
Do you install automatic gates for residential properties?
Yes, we install automatic gates made of wood, metal, or vinyl, with sliding or swing mechanisms. We include safety sensors and remote access options. Gates are integrated with your fence system and can be customized for driveways or walkways. We also handle manual gate installation and repairs.
Company Background
Thompson’s Custom Carpentry in Ponchatoula, LA, grew from owner John Thompson’s early start in construction. At 16, he swept new homes and built his first Fourier table for his mother, sparking a lifelong passion. After handling small side projects while working for a contractor, demand grew until he left to focus full-time, building a crew of four skilled craftsmen who share his commitment to quality and integrity. Today, they specialize in custom woodwork: fencing, decks, porches, patios, barns, sheds, carports, trim, closets, pantries, and cabinets. For local homeowners dealing with aging fence systems and vegetation overgrowth, Thompson’s repairs and replaces fences, adds weatherproofing to prevent rot, and installs new fences designed to withstand encroaching plants. Located just off US-51 near the historic downtown Ponchatoula, they serve neighborhoods around the Strawberry Festival grounds and Chappapeela Sports Park.
