Here is a look at a Redwood and Cedar deck we built in Walnutport, PA.

Wrapped in Redwood

This is a deck we re-built. It was originally all redwood, but due to lack of material availability, we framed it in Cedar and finished it in Redwood.

The Old

This is the old Redwood deck before we ripped it down. Believe it or not, it had stood for over forty years!

The Usual

Like all the projects we get into, there was some rot that needed to be repaired. New rimboard, and the sub-floor had to be patched up.

Patched Up

One of the most challenging aspects of the rot repair was patching the hardwood flooring back together. We were able to save most of it, but luckily the homeowners had some left over from when it was originally installed. Looks pretty good I'd say!

Old with the New

Here you can see the original cantilevered Redwood joists, with a few added Cedar joists. Believe it or not, the Redwood ones were all that supported the original walkway. 48" O.C.!

Check out this little kitchen we did a mild update on. New flooring, counter tops, back splash, and cabinet hardware.

This is a short gallery of a store front wall we re-built after a car crashed into it.

Crash!

Long story short, someone hit the accelerator instead of the brake, jumped the parking block, and crashed into the store front.

meatCrash 004

The picture doesn't really do justice to the amound of damage caused. The brick facade only shifted an inch or so, but the block wall behind the brick, and the old aluminum framed glass had buckled pretty badly.

meatCrash 002

This picture also does not do justice to the damage that was done, but you can see they had a bunch of shelving that used to be filled with product. All of which was destroyed.

meatCrash 001

Again, this picture doesn't show it too well, but the doors were thrown out of whack and no longer work properly.

meatCrash 005

With everything temporarily supported, we removed all of the damaged wall, and built temp walls to secure everything during construction.

meatCrash 006

Here is a shot after we removed all the damaged masonry and chipped off all the old mortar for the new block knee wall.

meatCrash 007

With the new block wall built and filled with concrete, we set the track for the new metal framed wall.

meatCrash 009

The wall is framed, and we're almost done hanging the sheathing.

meatCrash 010

Here you can see the sheathing is hung, and the new door is in.

The Finished Wall

Still to be done at a later date is new flooring and base moulding.

On the outside it's 2" of foam and Dryvit to finish it all off. Now all they need is a new sign, but that's up to another contractor.

Check out this new gallery of a porch on an old stone farm house, that we re-built and finished with all composite materials.

Old with the New

The Old

This is the old porch before we tore it down. It had numerous repairs in the past, that were, let's just say, poor in quality. Time to start fresh.

checkPorch 001

Clean Slate

Nothing left except two of the old posts hanging from the roof structure.

New Beams

Here you can see the new lower posts and the new beams pocketed into the stone structure

Framed

The new PT frame structure is in place. Just a few more details, and we'll be ready to put down the new flooring.

checkPorch 006

Stone Repair

One of the remaining details was to repair and re-point some of the stone work that was behind the old porch framing.

checkPorch 007

Sealed Up

Here is a look at the completed stone work. Now we can install the last floor joists.

Composite Flooring

The composite flooring shown here was chosen for it's endurance to the elements, and low maintainability. It also looks great!
