Screen Porch in Sugarloaf Country Club

We're getting wrapped up with this porch and it's looking awesome. David's installing the hardie shakes around the upper arched window.

New Location

2010-07-01T06:23:00.000-07:00

We've got a new address! We're now at 925 Cripple Creek Drive, Suite 100 in Lawrenceville, GA 30043. We've got a 2000sf office/warehouse that has a few offices, a conference room, and around 1200 sf storage / shop area where we keep some materials on site as well as have a full shop and finish room where we take care of any custom carpentry projects. We've lined the hallway with 24" x 36" prints of finished projects as well as pictures of our employees hard at work.

Setting The Posts

2009-08-13T09:52:00.001-07:00

The deck is currently held up on temporary supports and since we just passed the footing inspection, we're setting the posts in place.

Deck and Screen Porch

Here's a picture from a deck and screen porch that were building. we just passed the footing inspection so we're beginning to set the posts.

Screen Porch Remodel and Stain

2009-07-31T07:11:00.001-07:00

We can't take credit for building this deck and screen porch, but I can say that it looks much better when we finished than when we started. We did some minor repairs, replaced the old style screening with aluminum framed screens, replaced the beadboard ceiling, replaced the top cap of the handrails, and restained the entire structure.

Deck Demolition

2009-07-06T08:16:00.001-07:00

We're removing the handrails and decking on this deck. We will leave the majority of the frame as it was in good condition and bring the area around the chimney up to code. New decking and handrails will finish off the deck.

2009-06-17T15:25:00.001-07:00

Here we custom built and installed some bookshelves and cabinetry for a client. The whole at the top is where one of the surround speakers will go.

Screen Porch

A few finishing touches and this screen porch will be wrapped up.

Deck and Arbor

We're installing decking on the new deck and then we will build the arbor. We located the arbor so the rafters will block the sun in the afternoon.

Screen Porch Remodel

There was already a porch in place but we rebuilt everything from the roof down. The tile work looks awesome on the porch.

This deck turned out very nice. It is a simple deck yet with the amount of care given to the fine details, it becomes a very elegant deck.

What is a drysnap underdeck system?

2009-03-26T14:39:00.001-07:00

A drysnap underdeck system is a vinyl system that is installed on the underside of your deck that stops rainwater from falling below the deck area. It is a pretty neat system that allows you to expand your outdoor living space. The finished product looks like a white vinyl beadboard and is the best looking underdeck type of product on the market today. The water is drained to one end of the system and is then transferred to a gutter which moves the water to a downspout and then away from the deck. All in all it is a good looking product that is reasonably priced.
