It is with both heavy and grateful hearts that we share with you that Lanier Plumbing has closed it's doors after 67 years of faithful service in southwest Louisiana.
We honor Lynn Lanier who started Lanier Plumbing in 1959. Back then, it was a company based out of his house with his wife Laverne "Blondie" Lanier working as a secretary. In 1971, Lynn's son Rick Lanier joined him and four years later took over the family business.
A little more than 30 years ago Matt Evers joined Lanier Plumbing as a laborer and has been faithfully dedicated to Lanier Plumbing as an apprentice, journeyman, superintendent, and later on owner of Lanier Plumbing.
We're thankful for the industry we've been a part of.
We celebrate the number of gifted plumbers we've employed and the families who have been provided for.
But most of all...we're thankful for you SWLA. Thank you for every time you picked up the phone to call and request service, thank you for the baked goods & sweet notes, and thank you for your kind words as we celebrate 67 years of quality service.
