Willard Beach House Deck
Some developers build cheap for bigger profits. Many home buyers find out only later how well their house was built when things start to fall apart.
Take for instance the porch deck stairs stringer. Besides wrong fasteners that were dangerously eroded. The natural tendency of wood (especially on the shore) is to crack if not pre-drilled before fastening. Sealing the end grain of the wood with preservative and membrane assures the wood will not rot, dry out and split.
We receive many requests to replace pressure-treated deck boards with the newer types available these days. Unfortunately, once you remove the deck boards you sometimes find you need to remove the supporting framing.
This re-surfaced double-tiered porch deck at Willard Beach, the most dog friendly beach in Maine, will be the perfect perch to watch the many, many dog walkers come and go.
