Salem is a rural, unincorporated stretch of Lee County strung along the US-280 and US-431 corridor between Opelika and Phenix City, with homes spread out on acreage down the numbered Lee Roads and out toward the Beauregard community. That means bigger properties, older farmhouses, and outbuildings that need real repair work, not just cosmetic touch-ups. JAPARCO handles drywall, painting, carpentry, tile, flooring, and small electrical and plumbing jobs out here. We are based across the river in Columbus, so even a rural run to Salem is an easy trip for our veteran-owned crew. Licensed in Georgia, insured, working since 2010.
Tile is only as good as what’s under it. A floor set over a bouncy or uneven subfloor cracks along the grout lines within a year, and a shower tiled without waterproofing rots the wall behind it while everything looks fine on the surface. We start with the prep - checking the subfloor, setting backer board, leveling where it’s needed, and waterproofing wet areas - before a single tile goes down. In Salem bathrooms and kitchens, that prep is the difference between a job that lasts and one you’re redoing in two years.
We install floor tile, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, shower surrounds, tub walls, and entryways in ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Tiles are laid out dry first so the cuts land in the right places and the pattern stays centered, then set level with even spacing. Grout lines are kept straight and consistent, and we seal the grout so it resists staining and moisture. Cuts around outlets, fixtures, and corners are done clean, not fudged with caulk. Whether it’s a single backsplash, a full bathroom, or replacing cracked tile in a rental, we give you a free estimate based on the square footage and prep involved, and we protect the surrounding floors and fixtures while we work. Honest measurements, straight lines, and no shortcuts behind the tile where you can’t see them.
