Concrete Walkway and Patio

Pavers were replaced with contcrete that was graded correctly and maintenance free. The pavers had a flower bed that ran along the side of the house. The problem was that the condition of the bed would have required quite a bit of work to get it looking nice and the grade needed to be addressed. Concrete was an easy answer.

There was also a 3′ x 20′ section of concrete that was part of a coverred patio on the side of the garage. This had some cracking and heaving since the original pour was only 2″ thick.

To address all of the issues in this area, we had concrete poured up to the house, elimating the flower bed, and tied it together with the coverred patio. This leaves a large area that is functional, graded correctly, and low maintenance.

Garage Roof

The property that we purchased has a 2 car garage with a covered patio on the side. The total width of the garage is 28 feet. The back half of the garage had a new roof put on 6 or 7 years ago. The front half was not done and was in pretty bad shape. The roof had three layers already so we stripped it to the wood surface. A new roof was put on with a shingle that matched the shingles on the house.

Basement project

This basement was a complete mess before we started. There were water issues and years of neglect. Now, it is a useable space for a kids playroom, a workshop, or storage.

Finished basement

Take a look at some of the before and after photos from this project. Basement mold removal.

Front Steps

The front stoop/step of the house was pitched badly at the basement, causing most of the water problem. In addition to the stoop, there was an enormous pine tree, with 50 years of agressive roots invading the front of the building.
The before and after results were as follows.

We removed the tree, the volume of roots, and pitched the front stoop away from the home. The problem now solved, the water redirected, the landscaping is the project to follow.
