An interesting historic brick house remodel. The porch roof railing flashing had leaked and caused rot damage that led the roof to sink 4-5". The porch beams were replaced, and mouldings were replicated and repaired. A picture frame border was added to address persistant rot issues along the edge. Crown mouldings were replicated and replaced along the turret fascia.
Flat roof repair. Old roofing and sheathing were removed. Rafters were repaired, new plywood and blocking were installed. New EPDM flatroof membrane roof with built up bolteed down brackets anchor posts. The railing was designed to reflect the original design on the 1800's home.
