The porch: A full demo was needed on the home’s side porch due to years of water damage and decay. Saving as many architectural elements as possible; timber framing was rebuilt, support columns footed, stonework laid and floorboards set. Several basement windows were also added to increase air ventilation and light to the cellar. To stave off future water damage, a tongue and groove rot-resistant Ipe’ was used as floorboards. In addition, a long run of 6” copper gutter was installed and tapped into the new underground drainage lines. Now the family has a porch to enjoy for years to come!
