Framing the roof and Master Bedroom for Church Hill Restoration

Work continues on E Grace Street in Church Hill. We have packed and framed the walls, laid down the floor, and are about to begin framing the roof on the back of the house.

Our client had a broken tread on the main staircase in his house.

Victory! Outer doors are finally in on Grace St

Monumental Church

 Thomas and I got the distinct pleasure of visiting Monumental Church yesterday morning, where they have a little bad windowsill problem. Monumental Church is available for weddings, for those of you ready to tie the knot. It's a very elegant spot.

Porches!!! One of our specialties

Beautiful new doors

Happy New Year

I'm sorry there haven't been many posts, but the holidays slow things down, and Sofy and Syd went to Guatemala. There wasn't anyone willing to post, so while RBVa kept building, no one documented. I'll try to make up for lost time.

This is a porch in the Fan we're re-building. The rafters are fir, and our crew milled a small double bead in the bottom to match the original design. These rafters will be exposed.

Porch restoration

We rebuilt column capitals in record time today, and started framing the deck on this great two story porch. The crew kinda wishes we were doing this job in the summer so we could go swimming in our clients' awesome pool!
