THE CRAFTSMAN
With over 35 years of hands-on experience, Richard Kornman has dedicated his career to the precision of commercial maintenance and the art of carpentry. From meticulous door and hardware repair, comprehensive tenant turnover maintenance, minor plumbing, appliance, or complex lock systems rekeying. My approach is defined by reliability and technical mastery. I bring a deep understanding of maintenance & property challenges, ensuring every renovation and service project is completed with quality and professional integrity.

What makes my work different is that I understand both the technology and the house itself. Many homes—especially older homes in New Orleans and Baton Rouge—have wiring, framing, plaster, trim, access, or layout issues that product-only installers may not know how to solve. With a background in renovation, carpentry, troubleshooting electrical , doors, locks, and general property repair allows me to find practical solutions and finish the job correctly.
Decades of hands-on construction, renovation, maintenance, and repair experience to every installation. I do not just mount a device and leave. I look at the whole situation: wiring, power, placement, wall conditions, door hardware, Wi-Fi signal, long-term reliability, and how easy the system will be for the homeowner to use.
If something unusual comes up, I know how to work through it.
