Bringing craftsmanship and care to every home project

Wood Rot Repair

Wood rot can quietly compromise the strength and safety of your home. Left untreated, it spreads quickly, leading to costly structural damage. Karson has extensive experience removing, and repairing wood rot in siding, trim, framing, and other vulnerable areas of the home. Whether it’s a small section of trim or a larger structural concern, we approach every repair with the same level of care and craftsmanship that goes into our full renovation projects

Decks

A well-built deck invites you to slow down, gather, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it's a complete deck installation or a repair, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.

Custom Tile Installation

We specialize in expertly installing custom tile in your bathroom, kitchen, or any other area of your home. Our skilled craftsmen will meticulously lay each tile to create a stunning and durable finished product.

Shower and Tub Installation

Upgrade your bathroom with a new shower or tub installation. Whether you're looking for a luxurious spa-like shower or a relaxing soaking tub, we'll handle the installation process from start to finish, ensuring a seamless and professional result.

We are a husband and wife team who believes excellent renovation work should combine quality craftsmanship, dependable communication, and genuine care for your home.

Lattimore’s Renovation & Home Repair began in 2016 as a small home repair service built around creative problem solving, detailed workmanship, thoughtful repairs, and small remodeling projects.
Over time, bathroom renovations and wood rot repair became a larger part of what we do. As our experience grew, so did the scope of our projects. Today, we focus on full scale renovations, including bathrooms, kitchens, basements, whole home updates, and specialty repair work.
As a husband and wife team, we bring a unique blend of skill, perspective, and personal care to every project.

Karson is our licensed general contractor. He brings hands-on skill, a lifetime of construction knowledge, and a steady approach to complex renovations.  He has a gift for creative problem solving, especially in older homes and challenging renovations where the details really matter.

Lacey is a licensed occupational therapist who brings a deep understanding of functionality, accessibility, and how people move through their homes. Her background allows us to offer thoughtful aging in place recommendations that support long term comfort, safety, and independence.

Together, we approach each renovation with care.

 Karson helped us remodel our kitchen. He's responsive, pleasant to work with, charges a fair price, and, most importantly, does a great job! We've got a few other projects we plan to have him help with as well. We highly recommend him.

 Karson remodeled our master bathroom to meet the design as prepared by an outside designer. He did an excellent job. He was timely every day and worked efficiently throughout the entire process with a positive attitude. His suggestions were always well informed and helped to improve the final design and reduced the overall costs. We would highly recommend Karson to any person interested in contracting for upgrading their bathroom or other home renovation projects. We have complete confidence in their professional capability, honesty and cost awareness.

 Karson repaired some brick work for us and we will definitely use him again. He was very professional and was able to fit us in around some of his other jobs. He takes pride in his work and cleaned up everything afterwards. He made sure we were happy with the end result. I highly recommend him.

 Karson is fantastic and I highly recommend him. He installed a tile backsplash in my kitchen, repaired a water stain on the ceiling, painted a bedroom and painted and repaired porch piers. He is very timely with his estimates and scheduling, thorough on his instructions, punctual and meticulous in his work. I really can't say enough good things about him!

 I highly recommend Karson Lattimore after using his services recently. He arrived exactly on time and went about doing his work diligently. Karson performed the work better than expected, not cutting any corners. I have dealt with many contractors in the past and Karson is by far the most professional, courteous, and pleasant to work with. Again, I highly recommend Karson and I will certainly utilize his services in the near future.

A Cabinet Style Guide for Kitchen Renovations in Asheville & Weaverville, NC

Yes. Karson is a licensed General Contractor in North Carolina, and our license number is 101481. Our business is registered as Lattimore’s Handyman Service, LLC, doing business as Lattimore’s Renovation & Home Repair.   We are also insured and are happy to provide license or insurance information upon request. Working with a licensed contractor helps ensure your project is handled with the proper oversight, permitting knowledge, and accountability. nds on the job 
Yes. We carry General Liability insurance for our business, and we’re happy to provide proof of insurance upon request
Absolutely. We always do our best to be thoughtful with our client's budget.  During the planning process, we can talk through your priorities, where it may make sense to save, and where it is worth investing.
Because renovation costs depend on the scope of work, existing conditions, material selections, and subcontractor pricing, we cannot always make a project fit a specific number without adjusting the scope. If your budget and desired scope are not aligned, we will be honest with you and help identify options that may be a better fit.
We accept payment by bank transfer, check, and credit card. Bank transfer is our preferred method, and credit card payments are available with a 3% processing fee added to the transaction.
For certain parts of a project, we bring in trusted subcontractors who specialize in specific trades, such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, tile, or other project-specific work. Which trades are subcontracted depends on the scope of the project, permitting requirements. The subcontractors we work with are insured, and we keep their current insurance information on file. Some trades also require specific licensing, and when that applies, we use properly licensed professionals. 
We have long-standing relationships with most of the subcontractors we use. Many of them have worked with us for years, which makes a big difference in how smoothly a project runs. They understand our expectations, how we communicate, and how we like our job sites managed. 
Because we are responsible for the project as the General Contractor, we use our own vetted subcontractors rather than client-supplied trades. This helps us keep the project organized, properly insured, and consistent from start to finish. We’re always happy to collaborate with your designer or talk through selections, but the trade work itself stays with the team we know and trust.
