Hard to pass up work on a cottage in a place such as Higgins Lake this time of the year. This project we had a proposed second story re-deck. Prior to the removal we put a foot thru the 2x6 decking due to prolonged deterioration. Needless to say the structure had an extensive amount of rotten wood which led to a rebuild of the structure. We covered the entire framework with joist tape to prevent this from happening in the future again and topped it using a Timber-Tek Advanced PVC decking being Brownstone in color. Added some new post wraps at the base for glass support and new copper post caps. There was also a decorative perimeter outlook blocking and a double band around the entire screened in and open air deck that had deteriorated. We opted to cut the blocking back from the path of any second story drip line and installed new treated bands of wood. The lake side deck system we were asked to perform some repairs on a Time & Material basis of which escalated into much more than expected as the painters were prepping their work and discovered a lot of deteriorated wood components. Our schedule is open for some fall work, there's not much pertaining to a home that we won't take on.
