Reclaimed Flooring Installed, and porch deck replacement: Small jobs for valued, long-time clients.

One thing about our work is once you go RBVA, you never go away! Most of our clients are very satisfied withour work and think of us when they need some repairs done to their home. Even if it is a smaller job, we like to help these folks out.

For example, these clients wanted their porch decking replaced (along with some other jobs, such as reclaimed wood floor install, etc.)


Eek! Rotted joist!


Fixed by sistering with new 2x8s.

Rebuilding Enclosed Back Porch to Appear Like an Open Porch in North Church Hill Part 3

This the next part in our series on the enclosed back porch that will have the facade of an open porch.
See the first part (demo to framing) here ;
and the Second part which takes us from framing to to exterior completion and interior drywall

When we last left off, the exterior which has the facade of a full porch using Boral for simulated column, handrails, and trim, and hardiboard cladding was in the process of being installed... here are the complete photos.




With paint! This is infinitely nicer than the previous wonky porch.



And just for perspective, a before photo:

Now we go to framing the inside. 

There are two parts to this: an upstairs bathroom remodel, adding a downstairs bathroom and laundry room to the enclosed porch, and a master suite closet/nook.

 In the last post, the crew had just begun framing the interior and progress continues. There is Jerrett working on what will the closet in this master suite





Then the electrical rough-in happened


And drywall. We had to cut the drywall around the arched opening.
