Built right.

Took the house down to its bones today. Apparently our helper took it a little too literally.

Happy Halloween from J. Powers Construction!

The finished barn, by day and after dark.

If you’ve been following the progress, here’s how it all came together. Post-and-beam construction, cedar shingles, a standing-seam metal roof, and deep green barn doors framed in white.

A classic New England barn, right at home in the Maine fall. Proud of how this one turned out.

Swipe to see it with the lights on.

A little character built right into the siding. This custom duck detail is cut directly into the cedar shingles, with each piece fitted into the surrounding courses.

Mid-stage progress on this post-and-beam barn.

The timber frame, loft and stairs are in place, the walls are being wrapped in vertical board sheathing, and the roof is taking shape. There is still plenty left to do, but the structure and craftsmanship are already coming through.

Timber-frame raising in progress.

The crew raised each bent by crane, connected them with the carrying timbers and wall plates, fitted the knee braces, and installed the second-floor joists. The frame is assembled with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and secured with hardwood pegs.

Heavy timber construction demands precision at every connection. When the joinery is laid out and cut correctly, the entire structure locks together as it is raised.

Heavy timbers. Traditional joinery. A frame coming together one connection at a time.

A look at the assembly process on our latest timber frame project—mortise-and-tenon joints, timber braces, and wooden pegs. Plenty of work happens before the frame ever leaves the floor.

Brought in to help with the heavy lifting on this one.

Craned off the existing roof, installed the new structural beam, framed the new wall, and started putting the roof back together.

Not your average day of remodeling.

Every detail on this deck was intentional.

One of the standout features is the custom hardwood inlay. Rather than creating a simple geometric pattern, we selected contrasting tones of cedar and incorporated mahogany accents to create the appearance of a subtle bow tie within the design. It’s a detail that many people don’t notice at first, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Combined with the custom mahogany skirting, stair details, and premium cedar decking, this project showcases how thoughtful material selection and craftsmanship can transform a deck into a true custom outdoor living space.

Built to last. Built with intention.

Custom cedar and mahogany deck inlay built during a new deck construction project in Southern Maine. Swipe through to see how this custom deck feature came together from the first frame to the finished product.

Details like this are what separate a standard deck from a truly custom outdoor living space. Every board was individually measured, mitered, fitted, and fastened on site to create a clean, symmetrical design.

At J. Powers Construction, we specialize in custom decks, deck framing, deck building, deck remodeling, and outdoor living spaces throughout Scarborough, Portland, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Cumberland, S**o, and Biddeford, Maine.

Which version is your favorite—the raw framing or the finished inlay?

07/18/2026

Starting another custom deck in Portland, Maine. Thought we’d give you a quick look at the process of setting the joists before this one really starts taking shape.

Quality deck framing is the foundation of a long-lasting deck, and it’s one of the steps you never see once the project is finished.

If you’re looking for a deck builder or general contractor in Southern Maine, follow along as we bring this project to life.
