Years of schmutz

Before the cleaning and paint

After clearing out the decades of debris underneath the stairs, a frightening discovery was made in regards to the support system. Logs that were eaten away by termites were supporting the apex of the wrap around porch. One 2x6 was spanning across picking up the entire weight of the porch. That was also eaten away.

Termite eaten log under rotten support = bad

After calling for reinforcements and shoring up the porch with actual structural material, all was well again.

Proper support

New stringers to replace the rotten old ones. Felt paper to help prevent water intrusion

Composite shim beneath stringers prevent water from drawing up the stringers

built with care. Built to last.
