Porch Repairs

This repair job took one week. All the rails, styles, and faces were severally rotted. This job detailed complete demolition and rebuild. Pressure treated wood was used as well as a primer coat in between each layer of wood as well as priming all knots. I placed three coats of oil based paint after using wood epoxy to fill all nail holes.
