Gazebo Rebuild with custom additions

🤕 Symptoms: A disassembled gazebo arrived on site — parts loosely labeled, fasteners bagged, and no instructions in sight. Structurally uncertain and incomplete, the footprint lacked the functional space needed for storage or seasonal use. What could’ve been a quick build became a deeper reconstruction effort calling for both memory and intuition. The client also needed additional coverage behind the main unit for equipment and utility integration. 🩺 Diagnosis: This wasn’t just a rebuild — it was a reclamation. The original frame had potential, but needed a bigger vision to meet modern utility. Storage, cooking capability, and seasonal readiness were all missing from the original design. By blending adaptive framing with a grounded layout, the structure could evolve into something that truly supported both function and comfort. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Reconstructed the original gazebo frame using labeled parts and intuitive alignment -Installed footings and leveled the frame for long-term structural integrity -Framed two full-length rear extensions: -One at 4 feet deep for stove/refrigerator use -One at 8 feet deep for secure equipment storage -Installed T1-11 panel siding across the structure for a unified and durable surface -Added soffits and fascia to integrate ventilation and finish work -Installed matching roof sheathing and shingles for seamless protection- -Trimmed out the interior-facing wall with cedar to soften and elevate the space’s feel 💡 Prognosis: This once-forgotten kit is now a purpose-built outbuilding — ready for storage, hosting, and seasonal living. It has structure, symmetry, and soul. With strong siding, weather-tight roofing, and thoughtful finishing, the space now stands not just rebuilt, but reimagined — a grounded addition to the property that serves well beyond its original intent. 🔍 The slab and block wall seen beneath the structures, along with the exterior painting, electrical and plumbing, were completed by other trades brought in to finish those stages.

Custom shed build

🤕 Symptoms: -No existing shed or structure on-site -Needed dependable storage without compromising the yard’s visual appeal Project began with a loose concept — no architectural plans or specs -Midway through, the opportunity emerged to evolve the layout for more efficiency -Constant exposure to weather meant the build had to be tight, durable, and grounded 🩺 Diagnosis: What seemed like a simple shed job turned into a call for a clean, solid, and intentional build. With no formal blueprints, this structure had to be guided by experience and feel. It needed to emerge organically, with careful framing and a long-view approach. The site required precision in leveling and drainage, while the framing and finish needed to stand up to time without screaming for attention. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Constructed a level, moisture-resistant base foundation -Used pressure-treated #2 pine 4x4s for the perimeter and base frame -Framed the walls with Douglas fir — clean, strong, and dimensionally stable -Applied fully painted and weather-sealed T1-11 siding for exterior protection -Installed Owens Corning Duration shingles for top-tier durability and wind resistance -Modified layout mid-build to better fit evolving storage needs and traffic flow -Emphasized symmetry, clean finish lines, and future-proof utility 💡 Prognosis: What stands now is more than a shed — it’s a smart, resilient outbuilding with a calm presence. It doesn’t fight the property’s look — it supports it. With a rock-solid frame, tight roof, and breathable materials, this structure is ready to store, support, and stay sharp for the long run. Sometimes simplicity is the highest form of refinement — and that’s exactly what was built here.

Roof Revamp

🤕 Symptoms: -Shingles visibly worn and curling at edges -Multiple small leaks reported during rainstorms -Roof decking showing signs of soft spots and fatigue -Long-term weather exposure without updated protection -Aging underlayment no longer providing proper seal 🩺 Diagnosis: The roof had reached the end of its useful life. Water had found its way in through multiple points, and the shingle field was deteriorating. Underneath, the decking showed signs of past damage — not everywhere, but enough to raise concern. At this point, patching would’ve been a temporary fix. The house needed a full reset from the sheathing up. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Full tear-off of the old roofing system, including damaged shingles and underlayment -Repaired and replaced sections of roof decking where rot or softness was found -Installed Owens Corning synthetic underlayment for upgraded moisture and wind protection -Finished with Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles, chosen for their durability, wind resistance, and clean look -Reinforced ridge ventilation for proper airflow and longevity of attic space 💡 Prognosis: The roof is now solid, sealed, and built to stand up to the elements. With the structural repairs made and top-tier materials installed, this home can breathe easy for the long haul. Not only is it leak-free — it’s protected from the next storm, and the next season, and the next decade.

Deck-partial rebuild

🤕 Symptoms: -Two large 25+ year-old sliding glass doors nearly inoperable -Rear deck dangerously loose and visibly uneven -No footings supporting a key section of deck — nailed directly to the house and other deck frame -Visible foundation cracking at the front and rear of the garage -Ongoing moisture intrusion in the garage space -Structural fatigue from years of deferred maintenance 🩺 Diagnosis: The project started with one problem (the doors), but revealed a series of structural oversights and failures. The garage’s foundation had cracked in multiple spots, allowing water intrusion and compromising stability. The deck was not just tired — it was floating with no footings, hanging off the house in a way that posed serious risk. This wasn’t a job for patchwork. It needed real footing — literally and figuratively. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Excavated by hand to expose and repair cracked garage foundation walls, front and rear -Removed and rebuilt the compromised deck section from the ground up -Installed five 12" and three 16" deep footings with 6x6 support posts -Connected support beams with 2x8 pressure-treated framing for overkill durability -Personally selected 2x6 pressure-treated decking, installed tight and clean -Brought in long-term reliability and a finished surface worthy of outdoor use -Returned to the sliding glass doors — carefully restored track systems and got both doors fully operational, shocking the homeowner who thought replacement was the only option 💡 Prognosis: This job cleared a lot of weight — structurally and energetically. Leaning decks and rotting steps make your body move differently — you hesitate, you compensate. And let’s be honest, doors that don’t open block more than just entry. Now everything works smoothly, feels strong, and welcomes movement instead of resisting it.

Specialty roofing

🤕 Symptoms: -Three roofing layers: cedar shakes, two layers of shingles — exceeding code and adding weight -Signs of structural fatigue beneath aging roof system -Outdated or corroded flashing around chimneys and roof valleys -Client needed a roof that not only performed, but made a statement 🩺 Diagnosis: I was brought in by GKontos Roofing to handle this high-end roof rebuild for a client expecting nothing less than top-tier craftsmanship.This roof had been patched and layered over for too long. Between the cedar shakes and dual shingle layers, it was past its structural limit and overdue for a full reset. Beneath it all, the deck was tired, and some framing needed reinforcement. This wasn’t a surface-level job — it was about restoring integrity while elevating the home's appearance with materials that respect the architecture and raise the bar. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Complete tear-off of all three roofing layers, down to original decking -Identified and reinforced weak structural areas before sheathing -Installed new plywood decking to create a clean, solid base -Laid down fresh synthetic underlayment for premium moisture protection -Installed GAF Cambridge architectural shingles (special order) — high-grade and long-lasting -Replaced chimney flashing with custom copper flashing, shaped and fitted to perfection -Installed new copper valleys for both function and elegance — built to age gracefully and perform without compromise 💡 Prognosis: This isn’t just a roof — it’s a legacy-level upgrade. The copper details elevate the character of the home, and the reinforced deck ensures strength from the core outward. Built with care and selected with intention, this roof is meant to outlive trends, storms, and even ownership changes. It’s not going anywhere.

Blast from the past

🤕 Symptoms: -Faded, worn-out shingles with curling edges and surface loss -Roof showing signs of age-related fatigue and uneven ventilation -Structure needed minor reinforcement to support long-term performance -Homeowner looking for a “set it and forget it” roofing system — long-lasting and clean 🩺 Diagnosis: This one hit a little different — WFL Builders brought me in to handle the full roof rebuild, and as soon as I heard the address, it clicked. My uncle had just sold the house, and it was one I knew well from growing up. A lot of time was spent in that backyard as a kid, so walking back onto that roof as a contractor years later brought a full-circle energy with it. The shingles were past due, and the underlying structure needed attention before anything new could go on. This wasn’t a cosmetic job — it was about doing right by the house and by the history, laying something down that would hold strong long after we were gone. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Full tear-off of existing shingle system, down to the decking -Identified and reinforced weak points in the roof framing to prep for long-term load and weather -Installed a full Owens Corning Duration roofing system for premium protection and longevity -Integrated ridge venting for balanced attic airflow and extended material life -Ensured every detail was locked in tight — from flashing to nail lines — to prevent future maintenance needs 💡 Prognosis: The roof is now sealed, sharp, and strong. With the Owens Corning system in place and the structure underneath dialed in, the homeowner won’t have to give this roof a second thought for decades. And here’s something to remember — living under a failing roof does more than just let in water. It lets in stress. It affects sleep. It traps moisture, breeds mold, and that’s real weight on your lungs and immune system. Fixing the structure is fixing your health, even if you don’t see it happening.

Flat Roof

Patient: Multi-roof structure with fatigued flat roofing, layered aging, and exposed transition points Referred by: Property owner needing a clean, watertight finish with structural flow between roof levels 🤕Symptoms: -Old flat roofing system layered with time — saturated with wear, multiple material types stacked over aging plywood -Roof hatch showing signs of water intrusion due to failed or absent flashing -Transition between flat roof and pitched structure above was open, uneven, and vulnerable -Fascia line undefined and deteriorating — water tracking and visual clutter visible 🛠️ Diagnosis: This roof wasn’t just overdue — it was layered like an ignored health condition. Temporary fixes had been stacked over one another until the structure underneath was no longer supported, only covered. Every season added more saturation and stress. The lack of proper flashing, fascia framing, and drainage control meant the roof wasn’t just failing at performance — it was dragging down the structure’s aesthetic alignment and internal health. Poor water control means mold risk. Poor visual edges mean energetic clutter. Treatment Plan: -Performed a complete demo of all flat roof layers, down to the original plywood decking -Inspected deck integrity and prepped substrate for new system -Installed Liberty flat roll roofing system — a cleaner, more durable flat roof membrane with a tighter seal and better longevity -Framed a new fascia wall to connect and clean up the transition line between this roof and the next elevation -Installed custom white aluminum trim to fascia for a sealed, low-maintenance finish -Flashed the roof hatch in white aluminum, locking out water where it had previously been sneaking in 💡 Prognosis: This roof now reads clean, moves water confidently, and carries structure with quiet strength. It doesn’t draw attention to itself, and that’s the point — the roof should protect, not stress. Where before there were layers of noise, now there’s clarity. And with the fascia redefined, the building now breathes better — both visually and physically. Leaky flat roofs aren’t just an eyesore — they’re a slow rot to the structure and the mind. This one got its control back.

Wood Siding & Pergola Restoration

Patient: Classic residential exterior with aged wood siding, tired trim, and under-ventilated soffits Referred by: Homeowner committed to keeping the home’s character while improving its defenses 🤕 Symptoms: -Wood siding showing signs of age, surface breakdown, and paint fatigue -Pergola finish worn down by sun, moisture, and time -Trim patchwork and gaps beginning to invite unwanted moisture and pests -Soffits lacking ventilation — leading to trapped heat and increased potential for rot from within -Overall visual appeal and weather-readiness beginning to drift 🩺 Diagnosis: This home didn’t need to be reinvented — it just needed to be listened to. The wood siding still had life in it, but the surface was dull, tired, and vulnerable. The pergola had lost its clarity, turning from feature to faded fixture. Without proper venting in the soffits, the whole structure was holding its breath — trapped heat and moisture slowly setting up long-term issues. When exterior wood stops breathing and shedding water, it starts pulling the whole house into imbalance. It affects airflow, temperature regulation, and invites decay where you can’t see it — until it’s too late. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Carefully sanded, patched, and repainted all wood siding and trim with a durable finish -Restored the pergola structure with a fresh protective coating to enhance both appearance and weather resistance -Installed proper soffit ventilation by cutting a series of 3” holes and fitting each with aluminum vent inserts, ensuring consistent attic and rafter air exchange -Checked surrounding fascia and trim zones to confirm all layers were sealed and water-tight -Preserved original architectural character while reinforcing the structure’s longevity 💡 Prognosis: This house now stands sharper, stronger, and smarter than before — with charm you can see and defenses you can’t. When wood gets sealed right and airflow is restored, the whole house exhales easier. Moisture leaves, pests stay out, and your energy costs stop bleeding. What looks like a paint job on the surface was actually a rebalancing of the home’s outer skin and inner breath. This one didn’t need a remodel — it just needed real care.

Deck Awning Upgrade

Patient: Outdoor pergola with aging vinyl cover and fatigued support structure Referred by: Homeowner with a clear vision — returning to a proven design with upgraded execution 🤕 Symptoms: -Smokey translucent vinyl roof panels discolored and weakened from UV damage over time -Rafters beneath showing signs of sagging, weathering, and surface splintering -Diminished light diffusion and reduced confidence in the pergola’s safety and performance -Risk of water intrusion, wind uplift, or falling debris from unsupported roof segments -Emotional attachment to the structure paired with growing physical discomfort in its presence 🩺 Diagnosis: The roof had held up for over a decade — long enough to prove its value, but not immune to the laws of exposure. The panels had dulled and begun to warp, and the rafters had thinned out from years of sun, rain, and freeze-thaw. There’s a quiet anxiety that comes with sitting under a structure you no longer fully trust — whether you recognize it or not, your nervous system does. This wasn’t about overhauling the concept. It was about re-committing to it — with materials and framing that aligned with the homeowner’s original vision and the current need for strength. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Removed the old vinyl roof panels and carefully disassembled the deteriorated rafter system -Rebuilt structural support using fresh pressure-treated framing lumber, adding reinforcement where the original system had sagged or split -Installed new corrugated vinyl roofing in a similar smoked-translucent style, restoring both shade and light flow -Ensured all fastening points were secure and aligned, increasing wind resistance and visual uniformity -Treated the final assembly with care, matching design intent while exceeding previous material performance 💡 Prognosis: This pergola now delivers on what it was always meant to be — an open-air space that feels safe, solid, and full of light. There’s no more sag, no more second-guessing the roof overhead. When outdoor structures feel flimsy, the body tightens up — tension you carry without even noticing. With the structure rebalanced and the design fully honored, this space now invites calm instead of caution. It’s not just a cover — it’s part of the home’s rhythm again.

Vinyl composite Deck upgrade

Patient: Backyard deck showing surface aging but hiding deeper rot and pest infestation Referred by: Homeowner who suspected a problem — confirmed during exploratory demo 🤕 Symptoms: -Multiple surface boards felt soft underfoot or were visibly cupped -A few areas showed early cracking, but deeper inspection revealed termite damage and advanced rot in support framing -Signs of hollow wood and brittle grain — telltale signs of infestation beneath the surface -Paint and railings still looked decent, masking the extent of damage lurking below 🩺 Diagnosis: This was one of those decks that looked “not too bad” at first glance — but like many structures, it was holding a deeper issue under the surface. Classic termite signatures showed up during demo: hollowed-out joists, crumbling grain, and silent decay that had been spreading undetected. The deck’s health had already been compromised — and like any system under quiet attack, it was only a matter of time before failure became visible. Here’s the thing: When you walk across compromised lumber daily, even if it doesn’t give out, your body notices. You brace differently. You hesitate. You don’t fully relax. A compromised structure isn’t just physical — it creates nervous tension whether or not you realize it. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: 🐜 Pest Management: Licensed exterminator treated and cleared the infestation before work began 🪚 Full Demo: Carefully removed all deck boards and compromised framing down to substructure 🧱 Rebuild: Installed new pressure-treated framing with sealed joist ends for durability 🟫 Composite Upgrade: Laid Trex vinyl composite decking — UV-stable, rot-proof, and barefoot-friendly 🪜 Staircase Reset: Removed and rebuilt the staircase after decking was secured for clean edgework 🧽 Railing Preservation: Protected the original railing system with full wrap and repainted touch-ups for cohesion 💡 Prognosis: Now, this deck feels exactly how it looks: strong, clean, and relaxing underfoot. There’s no more guessing or bracing for that one “soft spot.” Just peace of mind, one step at a time. In a space meant for calm, safety is non-negotiable. We didn’t just replace a deck — we restored ease, confidence, and safety to the home’s heartbeat.
Patient: Backyard deck showing surface aging but hiding deeper rot and pest infestation Referred by: Homeowner who suspected a problem — confirmed during exploratory demo 🤕 Symptoms: -Multiple surface boards felt soft underfoot or were visibly cupped -A few areas showed early cracking, but deeper inspection revealed termite damage and advanced rot in support framing -Signs of hollow wood and brittle grain — telltale signs of infestation beneath the surface -Paint and railings still looked decent, masking the extent of damage lurking below 🩺 Diagnosis: This was one of those decks that looked “not too bad” at first glance — but like many structures, it was holding a deeper issue under the surface. Classic termite signatures showed up during demo: hollowed-out joists, crumbling grain, and silent decay that had been spreading undetected. The deck’s health had already been compromised — and like any system under quiet attack, it was only a matter of time before failure became visible. Here’s the thing: When you walk across compromised lumber daily, even if it doesn’t give out, your body notices. You brace differently. You hesitate. You don’t fully relax. A compromised structure isn’t just physical — it creates nervous tension whether or not you realize it. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: 🐜 Pest Management: Licensed exterminator treated and cleared the infestation before work began 🪚 Full Demo: Carefully removed all deck boards and compromised framing down to substructure 🧱 Rebuild: Installed new pressure-treated framing with sealed joist ends for durability 🟫 Composite Upgrade: Laid Trex vinyl composite decking — UV-stable, rot-proof, and barefoot-friendly 🪜 Staircase Reset: Removed and rebuilt the staircase after decking was secured for clean edgework 🧽 Railing Preservation: Protected the original railing system with full wrap and repainted touch-ups for cohesion 💡 Prognosis: Now, this deck feels exactly how it looks: strong, clean, and relaxing underfoot. There’s no more guessing or bracing for that one “soft spot.” Just peace of mind, one step at a time. In a space meant for calm, safety is non-negotiable. We didn’t just replace a deck — we restored ease, confidence, and safety to the home’s heartbeat.

Copper Chimney Flashing and skylight upgrade

Patient: Residential roof system compromised by surface-level patchwork and moisture intrusion Referred by: Homeowner noticing minor ceiling stains and shingle shifting after storms 🤕 Symptoms: -Water intrusion around chimney area, with interior stains slowly developing -Improperly caulked flashing — sealant smeared over copper, not mechanically fastened -Shingles lifting at perimeter edges; spongy feel underfoot in spots -On rear slope: failing roof boot, worn vent flashing, and an aging skylight letting in light and leaks -No proper underlayment found beneath shingles during tear-off 🩺 Diagnosis: This roof had been “repaired” before — but what we found was cosmetic work masking deep vulnerabilities. Caulk over copper isn’t craftsmanship — it’s desperation. Not only was the copper flashing failing from trapped moisture, but the roof had never been properly sealed beneath the surface. That’s like treating skin with tape instead of cleaning the wound. Meanwhile, the skylight, vent, and boot were all showing signs of slow breakdown — the kind of failure that doesn’t scream but steadily rots the system from within. If you’re sleeping under a roof that doesn’t breathe right, your house starts holding humidity. And that means respiratory stress you don’t always feel right away — but it’s there. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Fully removed old shingles and flashing at the chimney zone -Cut away all caulk-heavy patches and stripped compromised copper -Installed new custom-bent copper step flashing and counter flashing, seated correctly into mortar joints and layered with precision -Added ice & water shield underlayment, building a true water-defense barrier -Installed new shingles around chimney with correct overlap sequencing -On rear slope: replaced the roof vent, roof boot, and skylight unit with modern, leak-tight versions -Every penetration sealed with proper underlayment, not surface caulk 💡 Prognosis: This roof system is now breathable, watertight, and visually clean — no patchwork, no guessing. The copper flashing doesn’t just look sharp — it moves with the house, sheds water properly, and will patina gracefully over time. With underlayment where it belongs and every penetration sealed with smart detailing, this roof is now in long-haul territory. It’s no longer a house with a “chimney leak”—it’s a home with a chimney that belongs.

Sauna Life Build

🤕 Patient: Pristine backyard zone — no issues, just unrealized potential Referred by: Homeowner seeking a dedicated space for personal healing and stress relief Prescription for Wellness: Not every call is about what’s failing — some are about what’s missing. This wasn’t a job to fix a roof or reframe a wall. It was a job to build a space that enhances breathing, reduces cortisol, and reconnects body to environment — a barrel sauna set to transform the edge of this backyard into a sanctuary. 🩺 Diagnosis & Build Considerations: The build began on an empty gravel pad, with no structure, no shade, and no guidance but a metric-only assembly manual. What followed was a multi-day, precision carpentry task disguised as a wellness install — every stave, beam, and clasp requiring accurate placement not just for visual effect, but to lock in heat, weather resistance, and flow. No step could be skipped. No screw could be misplaced. This sauna was not just a kit — it was a full-bodied wellness tool. And if assembled carelessly, it could become a hazard or a hassle rather than a healing space. 🛠️ Treatment Plan (Installation Process): -Leveled and compacted gravel base, framing a treated platform to support long-term weight and moisture protection -Laid out components with strict adherence to structural flow — converting metric dimensions and decoding stave alignment like clockwork -Assembled the SaunaLife cedar barrel body, including benches, framing ribs, and compression bands -Installed the arched shingle roof, securing weather protection while maintaining a clean curve line for runoff and aesthetic balance -Finalized the unit with ventilation tuning, thermal seal checks, and exact door alignment for ergonomic entry/exit 💡 Prognosis: This project doesn’t just improve the property — it improves the people living on it. The cedar barrel design regulates temperature naturally, offers deep detoxification through steam therapy, and creates a visual and emotional signal for slowing down. This isn’t a hot shed. It’s a healing structure. And now, it’s built to last — tight, balanced, and tuned to serve its purpose without compromise. When we build wellness into the environment, we heal more than the structure. We restore the rhythm of the body.

🤕 Symptoms: -Severely bowed and deteriorating flat roof with evidence of long-term water pooling -Roof rafters compromised by moisture, showing signs of rot and sag -Fascia boards weakened and peeling from years of exposure -Unsafe, rotted back staircases creating a major hazard at both rear entries 🩺 Diagnosis: This mobile home had been sitting in quiet decline — an inherited space caught between the past and its next chapter. The flat roof was bearing the brunt of that pause, with sagging structure and visible ponding. Below, rotted staircases made basic entry a liability.

Backyard Deck Structural Surgery

Patient: Aging backyard deck used daily by elderly homeowners Referred by: Self-diagnosed issue with visible decay and temporary plywood patches 🤕 Symptoms: -Deck boards were rotted with multiple soft spots and holes -Unsafe temporary plywood patches over failing decking -Original footings and framing were undersized and no longer up to current code -Substructure concerns uncovered during surface-level "facelift" attempt 🩺 Diagnosis: What appeared to be a surface-level cosmetic issue revealed deeper structural instability. The existing 8" concrete footings, 4x4 posts, and double 2x8 beam were insufficient for modern load requirements and long-term safety — particularly critical given the elderly clients’ daily use. 💉 Treatment Plan:🧰 -Built a temporary support wall to carry the deck load safely during reconstruction -Removed all old decking boards and exposed structural elements -Replaced undersized 8" footings with 12" concrete footings for improved load capacity -Upgraded 4x4 posts to 6x6 pressure-treated posts for enhanced strength and durability -Swapped out the original double 2x8 beam with a triple 2x8 engineered beam -Installed Tico brackets, hurricane ties, and additional bracing for full code compliance -Temporarily removed back railing for clear access during structural repairs -Reinstalled new decking boards for a refreshed surface with solid integrity beneath 💡 Prognosis: Deck is now structurally sound, code-compliant, and safe for regular use — ready to support many more peaceful summer afternoons.

High-End Siding & Trim Upgrade

GC: Construction Pros Location: Todd Hill Rd, Lagrangeville, NY 🩺 Symptoms: This home’s exterior had seen better days. Aging siding, signs of water intrusion, outdated trim details, and a deck that had outlived its charm — all were compromising both aesthetics and structural integrity. The propane tank, meanwhile, stuck out like a sore thumb, disrupting the overall harmony of the architecture. 🔍 Diagnosis & Evaluation: While the structure itself was sound, years of weather exposure had left their mark. The siding was tired, trim misaligned, and water-damaged zones needed immediate attention. The homeowner wanted to restore dignity to the exterior with a long-term, natural solution that reflected care, quality, and timeless design. 🛠️ Treatment Plan (What We Performed): -Fully stripped the old siding and repaired all sheathing and water-damaged areas. -Installed real cedar siding, board by board, for enhanced durability and a clean, organic aesthetic. -Applied custom-milled cedar trim around doors and windows to elevate architectural detail. -Fabricated a custom propane tank surround that blends seamlessly with the new siding, offering both function and visual continuity. -Updated the decking with fresh cedar boards and railing to complete the transformation. -Final walkthrough ensured all seams, fasteners, and finishes were weather-tight and visually balanced. 💡 Result: What once looked weathered and overlooked now feels warm, intentional, and built to last. This home gained not just curb appeal — it reclaimed presence. The cedar siding and trim radiate craftsmanship, while every detail, from propane surround to deck rail, reinforces a polished and enduring exterior.

Deck Refurbish & Revival

🤕 Symptoms: -Years of weathering had dulled the front and rear deck surfaces -Algae, dirt, and sun-fade on both decks and the concrete walkway -Porch chairs showed signs of chipping paint and water exposure -Rear deck’s awning was fixed in place, requiring creative workarounds -Homeowners wanted a clean refresh that respected the original look 🩺 Diagnosis & Evaluation: This wasn’t just a cosmetic job — it was a preservation project. The wood still had life in it, but it needed deep cleaning, care, and the right finish to bounce back. While the awning posed a slight logistical challenge, the priority was maintaining the natural beauty in back and bringing clean contrast to the front. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Pressure washed the front and rear decks as well as the concrete walkway -Allowed full drying time before continuing work to avoid moisture lock-in -Fully sanded both decks and both outdoor wooden chairs -Applied solid exterior paint to the front porch deck and chair for a classic clean finish -Used transparent stain on the rear deck and chair to showcase the wood grain -Protected and worked around the fixed gazebo/awning structure without removal -removing lattice work and decorative items and reinstalled after completion is a small extra that leaves an everlasting touch. -Ensured all surfaces were properly sealed and finished for extended weather resistance 💡 Prognosis: This home’s outdoor experience is renewed and ready for seasons ahead. The front porch is crisp and inviting, while the back deck glows with natural texture. Small touches like the refinished rocking chair elevate the whole mood. Most importantly, the surfaces are now protected — not just pretty.

Home Exterior Revamp

🤕 Symptoms: -Rotted wood and unsecured furring compromising siding integrity -Old aluminum trim failing around windows and doors -Structural concerns at parapet wall and exposed rafters -Existing side door undersized and rotted around frame -Entry door at boiler room barely holding on 🩺 Diagnosis: This exterior had seen a slow but steady breakdown. Years of patch jobs left vulnerable openings — rotted framing, loose wrap, and exposed edges that let in water and wildlife. Some of the original framing and trim was still hanging on, but barely. The place didn’t need a full teardown — it needed targeted interventions that respected the structure while locking it in for the long haul. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Removed all rotted furring, replaced as needed, and fastened all furring strips securely to concrete with Tapcons -Removed old aluminum trim and installed new aluminum window wrap on 4 windows -Added white vinyl J-channel and double 4 clapboard siding, plus 2 outside corners to match aesthetic -Boiler door: stripped down, reinforced framing, reinstalled existing door with new hinges (fit preserved) -Side entry door: replaced with a custom-trimmed 32”x80” steel door, painted and sealed — includes new hardware and white storm door -Removed rafters by the flat roof to flash behind siding layers, then refastened rafters to sub-wall properly -Rebuilt and extended parapet wall with 2x6 framing, sheathed in plywood strips to carry siding and aluminum cap -Installed vertical 2x6/2x8 supports between roof deck and rafters to strengthen pitched roof connections 💡 Prognosis: This wasn’t cosmetic. It was surgery. The result? An exterior that finally works with the elements, not against them. Everything is sealed, flashed, supported, and ready for many more seasons. From patched to protected, this house now stands firmer in both structure and appearance.

Roof 1st

🤕 Symptoms: -Active leaks coming through a worn, aging roof -Exposure of new interior framing due to full gut renovation -Risk of further structural and moisture damage if left untreated -No current protection in place for the interior investment -Aesthetic and resale value threatened by roof's visible decline 🩺 Diagnosis & Evaluation: This roof had reached the edge of its lifespan — and the stakes were higher than usual. The home’s interior had already been completely gutted to the studs and siding removed, signaling a full-scale rebuild in progress. But without a sealed lid, all that fresh framing was at risk. The roof wasn’t just old — it was leaking, inconsistent in ventilation, and long overdue for replacement. The job wasn’t about patchwork; it was about securing what’s next. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Removed 22 squares of old shingles across all house roof sections -Inspected the full surface and replaced four compromised 4x8 plywood sheets as needed 🧠 Installed full layers of weatherproofing protection, including: -Drip edge -Ice & water shield -Full tar paper underlayment -Starter shingles at all eaves and rakes -Installed Owens Corning architectural shingles for performance and visual upgrade -Integrated ridge venting system with cap shingles for better attic breathing -All debris removed and job left clean, dry, and secure 💡 Prognosis: With the roof locked in, the rest of the rebuild can continue with confidence. This upgrade didn’t just stop water — it laid the foundation for a smooth resale or safe long-term use. The structure can now breathe, resist the elements, and move forward without risking what’s already been invested inside.

Complete Roof Overhaul

Patient: Single-story ranch home 🤕 Symptoms: -Visibly aged roof with patches of missing shingles -Leaks forming at multiple points, including around chimney and power pole -Soft decking indicating compromised plywood beneath the shingles -Outdated roof boot and deteriorated flashing -Aesthetic wear impacting curb appeal and potential home value 🧠 Diagnosis: This wasn’t just surface-level wear — it was a full-blown case of roof fatigue. Years of weather exposure had worn the defenses down, and water was beginning to creep in where it shouldn’t. The roof was beyond basic repair, and needed to be rebuilt from the sheathing up, with proper flashing and protection in all high-risk areas. One misstep (literally) even revealed how fragile things had become when a foot went through the ceiling — proof the integrity had been compromised. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Complete tear-off of old roofing down to framing -Reinforced and or replace any damaged rafters -Installed all new CDX plywood sheathing -Laid 30 lb felt underlayment with ice & water shield at all eaves, valleys, chimney base, and around roof penetrations -Installed Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles — chosen for strength and longevity -Installed new ridge vent system and cap shingles for proper attic ventilation -Reflashed the chimney with brand new flashing and counter flashing -Custom-installed a specialized roof boot around the electric pole to prevent leaks at the ridge -Repaired interior ceiling damage from accidental breakthrough and cleaned the site fully — no charge to the homeowner 💡 Prognosis🩺: This home is now shielded from the elements with a professional-grade roofing system that’s as sharp-looking as it is tough. No more drips, soft spots, or band-aid fixes. With proper upkeep, this roof won’t need attention again for decades. The client was understanding, even when Murphy's Law made a brief appearance — and left the project smiling.
