Porch
Remodel I've been given the opportunity to transform an existing porch into a more modern & updated appearance that will become a maintenance free structure when done. The settling of the porch over the years has taken it's toll, and so the requirements will be to re-sure the existing support structure and try and straighten the roof line, install new windows, an entry door and new stairs with a modest deck that will have a roof extended over for cover. Inside, I will be installing a Mahogany hardwood floor. When this project is complete, the customers will enjoy looking out their new Harvey windows, and enjoy coming home all the more.
All the following pictures will be taken by the homeowner who happens to be an avid photographer. Normally I have the task of providing pictures for my website, but at it is, I am fortunate enough to have a professional to handle that task. Many thanks to Sandra of "SD Good Photography" for her services.
