Projects
Before, after and the part in between.
Anybody can post a nice photo. Here’s what was wrong, what we did about it and how long it took.
Every project starts the same way
Somebody got tired of stepping around something. Then they called.
Larkin Hill · Deck rebuild
The deck nobody wanted to stand on.
The problem
Soft boards in the middle, a bounce at the stairs and a railing you could rock with one hand. The owners had stopped letting the grandkids out there.
What we did
Pulled every board. Sistered six joists. Set new footings below the frost line. Laid new decking and rebuilt the rail to code.
- Four days, start to finish
Last we heard, the grandkids had claimed it for the summer.
Elm Street · Porch and steps
The porch that leaned toward the street.
The problem
The whole porch tipped forward. The top step had split, and two posts had rotted at the base where the gutter emptied onto them for ten years.
What we did
Jacked and leveled the floor, replaced both posts, rebuilt the steps, added a handrail and rerouted the downspout so it never happens again.
- Three days, start to finish
She drinks her coffee out there again.
Your house next
Every project on this page started with a phone call.
Most of them started with a sentence like “It’s probably nothing, but.” It’s rarely nothing. It’s almost never as bad as you think.
Send us a photo of the thing you keep stepping around.
We’ll tell you what it takes.
Or call (555) 014-2290. Ray picks up before seven.
